Infectious Diseases at UVA: HIV virology, clinical trials at Joint Emerging Diseases Initiative, medical education, stewardship. Skeets are my opinion alone, unless they’re bad. He/him
The right really wants to validate the COVID lab leak conspiracy theory because some version of it can serve to undermine public health as an institution, government, and of course, Fauci. But it’s bullshit and these endless hearings and innuendo are a disgrace to our nation. No justice. Wasted $
The people exerting accountability over Fauci would have killed vastly more Americans if their policies were pursued
Aaron RuparSen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."
Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...
I said from the beginning that the obsession with the (almost certainly natural) origin of SARS-CoV-2 was a harmful distraction from preparing for the next pandemic, and I regret to inform you that I’m entirely correct.
Aaron RuparFauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."
Dr. Anothony Fauci has “saved more lives, created more amazing infrastructures for developing research opportunities, cured more people, provided health care to more people both in the United States and abroad, probably, than any single scientist in his lifetime” www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...
The Unmaking of Anthony FauciHe built an empire. It did not last.www.theatlantic.comOkay, but what you fail to consider is that this is a problem that can be solved by my idiosyncratic policy preference!
Ryan EnosThis is crucial and often unmentioned. Almost every single diagnosis of declining faith in universities fails to mention that it is runs in parallel to declining faith in almost all American institutions. Any failure to recognize this means it is really flawed or not a serious effort.
“Compared to what?” is always the essential question when asking about critiques of higher education & universities, whether we’re discussing declining trust, freedom of speech, viewpoint diversity, or any of the other things.

The sleight of hand here is in portraying the obsessions of editors at elite publications and some think tanks as “the public,” especially considering the fact that, despite *decades* of anti-intellectual propaganda, the vast majority of students and parents *demand* access to higher education.
Aparna NairNo, Tyler. Im angry because I know you know that the lack of public trust in US universities is the result of DECADES of media and political efforts--of which your whole grift is part. Quite the gall to be part of destroying public trust and then turn around and point to the lack of public trust.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
The real lesson of history is that liberals like myself can either stand alongside the left to fight reactionaries, or we can get shot next to them after the reactionaries have won
The AtlanticDemocrats became great by fighting the far left—and today’s party can learn crucial lessons from those battles, David Brooks argues:
