He appeared tonight on Deutsche Welle’s The World: a forthright advocate of science. As such, he had nothing good to say about the Trump administration.

I looked him up online. He’s the Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor of Bioethics at New York University Langone Medical Center. He’s got quite a CV and an impressive bibliography. There’s apparently a blog by him, but I haven’t found it yet.

Or vaccines. West Michigan is a hotbed of anti-vacc folks — a mix of flat-out conspiracies, lies about the “toxins” in vaccines, and possibly the most disgusting: children are the property of their parents and nobody other than the parents have any right to have input on any healthcare for kids. That’s a big one in the libertarian/christian reformed infestation around GR and Holland.

One should never underestimate the breath, depth, or power of human stupidity!!!!

He has threatened schools and state public officials with cutting off funding for education if his demands are not met. He was apparently seconded in this by Betsy DeVos, the anti-public education Secretary of Education (richer now by $6M in aid for some “small business” she has.) You may want to argue that the I. P. doesn’t have the power to defund education but we’ve heard his lawyers Dershowitz and Barr say that his executive power is essentially unlimited, and we’ve seen the First Amendment rights of peacefully protesting people in Lafayette Square abrogated by force when the I. P. had a photo op in front of a nearby church.
