You are partly responsible for everything that has happened. This was a month ago. I recognize you will never reflect on your ongoing errors, much less apologize for the harm you’ve done with your former credibility & influence. But a lot of people remember, & your complicity is part of your legacy.

I wrapped up that post with this: Ultimately, my deepest hope - and I suspect everyone's - is that this appointment of Dr. Vinay Prasad leads to a continued focus on improving the safety, efficacy, and public trust in biologics, especially vaccines. We need rigorous science, honest communication, and thoughtful leadership more than ever. That doesn't sound too bad, does it?

Thank you for bringing that useful app to my attention. I see that along with the block disappears the response from the blocked account -- so no vestige of criticism that can be edifying. Seems in that respect Shitter is better. Oh well. Something to direct to Bluesky management?

Context Builder is not "AI" @ctxplz.bsky.social

Most certainly, @abbendectomy.bsky.social. You can see the context chain for your parent post in the link

He blocked me, too. Total coward. I can’t believe I ever respected him.
