On the Media has a series that, “explores what has unfolded at Harvard University since Donald Trump’s inauguration.” Part 2 covers the medical angle. This is of interest to me because, thanks to Harvard Medical School, I no longer have atrial fibrillation.

Jay Bhattacharya, an M.D. with a PhD in Economics, lost his intellectual way, and with it his credibility. He’s now NIH Director.

Bhattacharya opposed the Covid lockdown. His view was, “there wasn’t enough evidence of the virus’s lethality to justify stay at home orders.” The illogic of this highly educated man is appalling. Whenever has ignorance of a new disease been a good reason to not take preventive measures, until more is known about it?

“It’s cool to be conservative, hot to be the conservative chick. It’s the new trend.”

Why the push to influence college kids? Because the likelihood of getting young adults to “accept Christ” after age 19 is about the same as getting them started with smoking.

Some who attended the Turning Point USA rally were there simply to be part of a big event. Those who were drawn to the message of Christian tolerance and understanding will be disappointed when they come to see the politics inherent in TPUSA. They’ll reject the organization and perhaps also their faith.

Others will find their way to local, apolitical congregations. To them I offer my sincere best wishes. There will be, however, those who embrace TPUSA and its intolerant politics as their ideological home.

With that said, Cheney wasn’t wrong about Trump.
