Stemming DEI abuses of the research community

Aug 22, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Andrew I. Fillat |Henry Miller

Many institutions and companies are finally recognizing that “good” discrimination, better known as diversity, equity, and inclusion, in admissions and hiring is counterproductive as well as often illegal. In contrast, federal agencies remain in thrall to DEI in evaluating and making grants for scientific research.

The doctor is out: America’s looming physician shortage

Aug 2, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Henry Miller

America is in the throes of a healthcare crisis that is unfolding quietly in doctor’s offices, hospital corridors, and small-town clinics across the country. Or maybe not so quietly: If you’ve tried recently to get an appointment with your primary care physician or certain specialists, you may have found that the wait can be weeks. The specter of a looming physician shortage is casting a long shadow over our nation’s well-being, threatening to upend the healthcare system on which we rely.
Banning safe pesticides is bad policy and harmful to farmers

May 9, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Henry Miller

Less than six months after New York surrendered to activists and banned a class of insecticides with a long track record of safe, effective use, Vermont now faces a similar decision. Gov. Phil Scott has an opportunity to veto the legislation rather than follow New York’s ill-advised example. House Bill H.706, a near carbon-copy of New York’s legislation, sailed through Vermont’s legislature with little debate and insufficient opportunity for the state’s farmers to weigh in.
Drug shortages plague patients. There’s a solution

Apr 21, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Henry Miller

From 1968 to 2020, people experienced a remarkable increase in life expectancy, from 70 to 78 years. Much of that was due to advances in drugs and vaccines, many of which are now unavailable because of shortages. According to the University of Utah Drug Information Service, in the first quarter of 2024, a total of 323 drugs were in shortage — the highest number ever. Shortages of important drugs are neither new nor rare.
Biden’s electric vehicle taxpayer rip-off

Apr 9, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Andrew I. Fillat |Henry Miller

Recent vehicle emissions regulations issued by the Biden administration have, by its own admission, put into place restrictions designed to force the proportion of electric vehicles to 50% of new sales by 2030. But it won’t work, and in any case, it’s an unworthy goal. Individuals who want to purchase an electric vehicle should have them available, but at a real price, not one subsidized by the government directly and by manufacturers indirectly.
Science creep is a menace

Holden Thorp, the editor-in-chief of the prestigious journal Science, described on Substack a discussion that occurred during the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Are we on the cusp of historic medical breakthroughs?

Dec 31, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Henry Miller

During my lifetime, there have been numerous seminal breakthroughs in medicine that greatly changed our ability to prevent or treat disease. I have a good idea of what the next ones will be. VaccinesI can still recall the palpable excitement when, at the age of 8, I joined scores of other children to get the Salk polio vaccine shot.
Gain-of-function restrictions in HHS funding bill will hamper research

Nov 21, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Henry Miller

It is bad enough when unqualified pundits offer foolish opinions about science, but bad legislation can cause real damage. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to some real legislative doozies from politicians at both the state and federal levels.
