Journal Journal: Award for special dediction to obtuse trolling goes to ... 14
The specific effort here has to deal with his 2 week long fact-free diversion driven by his utterly unhinged hatred for the NIH. Start back here where I pointed out that our broken health care system needs to be completely scuttled to arrive at something that could ever improve outcomes. Then out of nowhere he declares the NIH to be an "epic disaster" , in spite of the fact that they do not have any meaningful role in the patient-provider aspect of health care. Strangely enough he mentions it right after backtracking away from his anti-factual bit about Sweden (perhaps in some alternate reality) abandoning Nordic Socialism.
Shortly after in a different thread we saw his NIH hatred come up again . He came up with a few random musings on the matter, including
The NIH is a bureaucracy first; its mission a distant second.
The NIH is symptomatic and related to the general turn from prosperity to Socialism, with the attendant economic/demographic/moral/happiness collapse.
I don't hate the NIH staff: I don't even know them. What I despise is the worship of bureaucracy on offer.
Yes, I actively hate the homo bureaucratus infestation that reduces people to livestock.
Going to Single Payer and importing the NIH would be a cure so much worse than the disease
Not a single one of which he gave any factual support for. Along the way he kept insisting that I was somehow calling them "perfect", in spite of multiple comments where I very plainly said the opposite of that. He did get in his last posts on the matters, so clearly he won on that dimension.
