  1. From the web page of Black Book

    “I would highly recommend Black Book Market Research to any company looking for someone to quickly and efficiently tackle their marketing needs, large or small. We’ve asked her to help us with a wide range of different marketing tasks, and she has applied herself with great efficiency and enthusiasm to all of them, which makes it a great pleasure to work with her as she quickly understands what’s required and completely embraces the ethos of the company, making you feel like you have an additional dedicated member in your team.”

    Umm, what?

  2. The other week you covered the potential they would fire Azar over the Rick Bright demotion. Take a look at the whistle blower complaint:

    https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6882560-Rick-Bright-Whistleblower-Complaint

    TLDR: Dr. Bright had been warning Azar and other leadership about the PPE shortage, the need to on-shore supply chains, and the need to ramp up production of remdesivir since early February. HHS leadership wanted to pretend everything was going to be fine, so instead of heeding his warnings they stopped inviting him to meetings, and tried to push him out to NIH. Dr. Bright pushed back as the White House tried to make chloroquine widely available to the public for unsupervised use(!). Oh and prior to COVID it sounds like Dr. Bright witnessed plenty of examples of research dollars prioritized for unqualified politically-connected groups.

    The House testimony next week is going to be must-watch television.
