Commentary The name Robert Kadlec may mean nothing to you, but anyone who has watched Stanley Kubrick’s Cold War era satirical masterpiece “Dr. Strangelove” will quickly get the idea of who this man is. Colonel Kadlec is the General Ripper of the War on Microbes. It is no small irony that the Biodefense Commission that Kadlec set up in 2014 is funded by the Hudson…
The Science Too Is Captured
Commentary The “nonprofit” called EcoHealth Alliance currently has 12 active grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) totaling $34 million, if you can believe it.
