🚨🚨 FOLLOW-UP: HOLDEN THORP'S LEGITIMIZATION MACHINE EXPOSED While Ioannidis Faced Death Threats to His Family & Career Destruction for Questioning Lockdowns, Thorp Used Science Magazine to Champion Them Prof. John Ioannidis (Stanford University) in his own words: “Death threats were very commonplace.” “Also to you? Of course. I think both myself and every single member in my family, we were attacked in ways that I could never have imagined…” “The environment was so toxic that the vast majority of credentialed scientists who might have some expertise that would be relevant to epidemiology… Most of those self-silenced.” “If you are attacked in such a way… we would be completely annihilated. We would disappear from the map and our careers would end. Who knows? Maybe we'll be dead.” “The vast majority of credentialed scientists… moved out and they left epidemiology to people who were not epidemiologists.” 🎥 Watch Ioannidis’ own words in full — the toxicity he describes is exactly what Thorp helped normalize. ⚠️ This is the environment Thorp actively helped create and defend. While Ioannidis and other real epidemiologists were being threatened and destroyed, Thorp’s Science Magazine editorials aggressively legitimized lockdowns as “essential science” (2022 “Thank you, Tony!” defending “masks and lockdowns” against “misinformation”; 2020 “Trump lied about science” attacking skeptics). Yet in February 2026 he now admits “anger over the pandemic lockdowns that many Americans now see as avoidable” fueled public distrust — without ever taking responsibility. 📌 Jay Bhattacharya, current NIH Director, said it best: “There is literally no way that the public will regain trust in science with Holden Thorp as the editor of Science. In his position, he embraced lockdowns and dangerous virological research and publicly denigrated scientists who opposed them.” 🔱 ScienceGuardians™ holds no preferences in any fields of science, including various aspects of epidemiology, but strongly believes that politicizing science can lead to severely dangerous consequences, including threats to public health.

1/8 🚨 Empowering Fraudulent Actors Can Destroy Lives, Institutions, and Public Trust Fraudulent and predatory actors rarely rise alone. They are often elevated by influential institutions, respected professionals, and powerful voices who lend credibility before exercising proper due diligence. In this video, during the United Nations roundtable 'Healthy Oceans and Seas: a way forward' on 4 February 2014 (co-hosted by the Sustainable Oceans Alliance, the governments of Italy and Palau, and the Global Partnerships Forum), Amir Dossal — Chairman of the Global Partnerships Forum, Co-Chair of the Sustainable Oceans Alliance, and a former 25-year UN veteran who served as Executive Director of the UN Office for Partnerships — publicly introduces Ghislaine Maxwell — Jeffrey Epstein’s closest accomplice — as: “the person who has been the inspiration behind the Sustainable Oceans Alliance…” and then as: “my dear friend, Ghislaine Maxwell.” ⚠️ That is how dangerous people can become normalized: when the failure to perform due diligence does not merely create error, but enables harm on a far larger scale. ⚠️ And this pattern is not confined to exploiting the Ocean Alliance to help shield s-e-x trafficking. The same reckless enabling can emerge anywhere influence is used to protect the wrong people from scrutiny — even in the very field that claims to defend scientific integrity. 🚨 On 17 Nov 2025, we exposed the PubPeer "PubSmear" Network Mob and its public face, Elisabeth M. Bik, the fake “science integrity consultant”, who has spent years stalking, smearing, and helping destroy the careers of researchers she targets — by weaponizing a deeply compromised, so-called post-publication peer review platform, PubPeer (aka PubSmear) that is continuously amplified by the institutional arm of the mob network, Retraction Watch. Both of these corrupt organizations (the PubPeer Foundation & Retraction Watch) are riddled with enormous conflicts of interest in management and leadership — with Ivan Oransky positioned at the center of those conflicts as a board member (director) of the PubPeer Foundation and co-founder (and former executive) of Retraction Watch. We publicly released the FULL EVIDENCE PACKAGE detailing how Bik and the PubPeer "PubSmear" Network Mob have weaponized "research integrity" to 100% censor critiques of their own flawed work while relentlessly targeting others (🔗 link to the full evidence package in Part 5 of this thread). 📌 But figures this deeply compromised do not rise alone. They are often elevated by those who recklessly endorse them, enable them, and empower them without asking the questions that should have been asked from the beginning. 📢🧵 Read the thread to see who helped make it possible.
