I'm firmly convinced that Holdren is why the actions of the Obama Administration opposed nuclear power at every turn while Obama continued to claim that he supported nuclear power.

Holdren was probably there telling, "yes, this policy will be good for nuclear" when the opposite was true. And how would Obama know the difference?

No interview with Obama's advisor?

When we invited him in 2012, John Holdren (Obama's advisor) agreed to come to the University of Colorado to participate in our science advisor series by giving a talk. He declined the opportunity to do an interview. Two years after that he posted a weird screed about me on the White House website, which helped to motivate a Congressional investigation of me. I don't have any inside info, but it seems to be a very personal thing with him, maybe political, who knows.

Weird indeed.

A quick look at wiki shows Holdren's closeness with P.R. Ehrlich and the Simon wager. Hard to believe Ehrlich got so close to that White House.

Worse in the USA because of obesity.

And no I don’t believe the stats for a second.

I believe many died with Covid but not from Covid.

Flu and pneumonia disappeared here in Alberta during Covid, they would have us believe.

But I got the shots so I could travel as did my wife.

In fall 2021 I developed bad tendinitis as did many others I know while my wife became unable to tolerate even a trace of dairy which also happened to two others I know.

Safe and effective shots indeed

Yes, same as in climate.

But notice I pointed out same effect in multiple people.

If I had a polling company I would be interested to know how many people became dairy intolerant in late 2021.

I’m one guy with a limited circle of friends and I know two, maybe others don’t talk about it or haven’t made the “correlation”.

Or maybe they are the only two on earth.

Who can say
