Interim Harvard President Makes Almost $1M a Year From Drug Companies in Addition to His $946K Salary

Interim Harvard President Makes Almost $1M a Year From Drug Companies in Addition to His $946K Salary

Guess the vax mandates on the plebeian layer aren't ending any time soon. Roll up your sleeves, sterilized sheep students. That NASCAR Harvard Logo on the resume is going to remain expensive in more ways than one.

Once meaning has been unmoored from linguistic signifiers, over time, signified meanings become modular and can be swapped in and out at will by the Party. The short-term results are described above, but it must be stressed that the long-term result of this willful corruption and control of language is far more catastrophic. It is nothing short of the complete intellectual collapse of the Indoctrinated to the point where they are incapable of understanding or discussing even the most basic concepts independently, degenerating to a state of utter reliance on the Party to provide, literally, meaning to their lives.

We have come to the point where any independent though is completely forbidden at Harvard. All must look to the Party to know what "science" says. Which is the very opposite of real science.

But there’s no escaping the fact that, before the pandemic Gay and Magill would have gotten away Scott-free with their arrogant refusals to give straight answers to the questions from dull, non-PhD-having Congresspeople. Instead, they pranced prettily into the propeller blades because credentialed experts have no trust residual to draw on anymore. Nobody likes them. Nobody trusts them. They were wrong about everything.

In other words, everyone is fed up with academic experts who think they are better than everybody else just because the media fawned over their every word during the pandemic. They are now experiencing a rude awakening.

I can offer no more recent evidence of the tsunami of reckoning washing away the edifice of fake expertise than yesterday’s Harvard Crimson story headlined, “Top Harvard Medical School Neuroscientist Accused of Research Misconduct.” It’s bad. A Harvard darling, a so-called expert and top medical science research professor, now stands credibly accused of having falsified (Portlanders: that means made up) his data and having plagiarized other people’s images and illustrations, in over 20 of his papers during a twenty-year period. Over once a year on average. ...

The Crimson story suggests the doctor may have taken a few shortcuts, you know, to make sure his papers popped and so that he would get the “right” answer.

Who knows how much the alleged cheating contributed to Shah’s meteoric career? While other academics toiled away, following the rules, not obtaining the astounding pro-pharma results like the not-so-brilliant Dr. Shah did? Real science is a lot harder.

Shah’s deceit was discovered by data manipulation expert Elisabeth M. Bik. Ms. Bik is every woke academician’s worst nightmare. She is a “real” expert with a talent and a passion for sniffing out academic fakesters. Nowadays Elisabeth uses A.I. and reverse image searching to help, but she’s written guides explaining how you too can help expose fraudulent Harvard doctors. According to Liz’s bio, her exposé work has resulted in 1,069 Retractions, 149 Expressions of Concern, and 1,008 Corrections (as of last November).

If you’re a science type, here’s a link to Elisabeth’s blog post on her investigation of Dr. Shah’s ‘work,’ if you can call it that.

For everybody else, according to the Crimson, Bik found 44 different examples of made-up data in Dr. Shah’s papers between 2001 and 2023. But the “most damning” problems were from Shah’s 2022 paper in Nature Communications (it had 32 other authors, but Shah was the lead author). Bik said Shah’s 2022 paper contained figures and images stolen from seven other papers (written by other scientists) plus some images copied straight off the websites of two scientific product vendors.

For instance, one of Shah’s pinched pictures came from an online catalog by R&D Systems, which makes scientific research antibodies. Shah did not give credit to R&D Systems for using its image in his 2022 article. Instead, Dr. Shah claimed the image was from his own work and — get this — he edited the picture’s labels to show a completely different antibody than the original.

Totally fake. Fake, fake, fake fake fake.

“This is a really unusual sort of thing that I cannot imagine how this happens by accident,” drily noted an independent professor who reviewed Bik’s findings for the Crimson.

Harvard again! What is obvious beyond denial is the bigger movement afoot: the anti-expert movement. Ms. Bik’s helpful labors are but one small special forces unit in the army of discontent that Peter Hotez can see coming through his smudgy, pie-shaped eyeglasses. Mark my words. Their downfall will be so complete that before this is over, they’ll be claiming they were set up.

The Harvard grads would claim they originated that statement.

That woman has a Slavic jaw. Still pretty now, but that jaw will be more pronounced as she gets closer to 30.

Still, if she had stuck to fomenting hatred for ordinary white people instead of including Jews as targets of hatred, she'd still have her job.

Check out the reactions to Harvard Med School's 2024 class music video: "I would remove my own spleen before I allowed one of these people to touch me"

Guys, I think I'm getting just a little worried about the next generation of doctors.

A music video put together by the Harvard Med School class of 2024 is going viral. I think it's a parody of Cardi B's WAP (DO NOT LOOK THAT UP) and it's even more cringe.

Watch this and I promise you you'll start taking better care of yourself.

Columbia Medical School did their own video.

It's terrifying that Medical Students have time to make these videos.

Notice it's all dumb women.

30% of them will only practice for a decade before stopping their practice when they hit their 30s and want a baby.

Imagine that. All those lost slots for highly qualified doctors.

You mean all those highly qualified professionals that couldn't see we didn't have a mass die off, and were happy to inject the population with a completely untested serum, that they couldn't recognize didn't work?

The same people that intubated patients, wouldn't put anybody on antivirals, then killed them on Remdesiver while in an induced coma?

Sure, if we only had more professionals like that.

Looks like they are well on their way to the Great Decortication Project specs for the med school.
