The NIH Director has a full court press to defend his fallacy that peer review is still important to the Unified Funding Strategy. This terrible, horrible, no good, probably AI-generated graphic is from his Xitter account and shows "multiple inputs" that are ill-defined.

Happy Independence Day to We the People of the United States - current and future citizens by birth or by choice - especially those who have sworn to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay #BethesdaDeclaration

Nixon is clueless. The "single average number," voted on by the reviewers, is a better representation of scientific merit than anything else. Fewer grant applications are being discussed and scored in FY26 and program officials have less information to decide which are high risk/high reward.

“Under the new system, NIH will consider the whole application, instead of boiling it down to a single average number that will not always be representative of scientific merit,” Nixon said. “This model is more likely to fund high risk/high reward research and will result in funding new, innovative researchers.”

I went to the vigil for Alex Pretti at the VA headquarters in DC last night. Despite the sad occasion, I was comforted to see hundreds of people (from different agencies and non-feds too) mourn our loss, remember others killed by ICE, and call for action against ICE and CBP.

For the both siders, skeptics, and uninformed in your lives:

Denmark is a nation of about 6 million people — smaller than the Atlanta metro area It has universal health care, national patient registries and a highly homogeneous population with low rates of vaccine-preventable diseases. Its immunization program is designed for a system where every child is tracked, every parent has access to care and every gap is quickly closed.

The United States is a nation of 340 million featuring enormous geographic, socioeconomic and demographic diversity. Millions are uninsured, with more probably coming soon. Many lack consistent prenatal care. Children enter daycare earlier because of restrictive parental leave policies. Disease burdens differ dramatically. Public health infrastructure is heterogeneous, sometimes varying county by county.

The Danish schedule omits several vaccines that are essential in the U.S. context, including those for varicella (chickenpox), rotavirus, hepatitis A, meningococcal disease, covid-19 and the RSV monoclonal antibody for infants. Denmark can omit these vaccines because its disease burden is different.

Chickenpox, often dismissed as “mild,” can cause pneumonia, hepatitis and death. Rotavirus was once responsible for hundreds of thousands of ER visits annually. Hepatitis A outbreaks continue to sweep through U.S. communities. Meningococcal disease, while rare, is devastating when it strikes.
