I’ll take the bait: junk DNA, arguments against epigenetic expression, the irrelevance of the guy microbiome. Wrong and wrong and wrong NYT biosciences editor!

Mainstream consensus on this as reported in the popular press is nothing like the actual credence of the guys in lab coats. I know serious biotech people at serious schools who won’t fuck with mMRNA vaccination personally. As long as they’re not quoted on it.

When you get your bioscience from The Atlantic? Be ready to be wrong soon.

Real scientists don’t mouth off like this. They choose an emphasis when writing a grant application like a cover letter.
