As a PhD Molecular Biologist with nearly twenty years experience in public health and biodefense, I had my suspicions very early in this pandemic.
I always expected my still-active colleagues to break through the politics and reveal the truth, an aspiration I thought was shared by all true scientists. I have become ashamed of my profession.
We are diminished, we are degraded, we are prostituted, by this deception, and we may never recover.
