When local father Mike Jones said that he would be doing his own research on vaccination, his small suburban town thought they had heard it all before. \u201cI thought he was just going to email me some PragerU infographics until he got aggravated or until I turned on the Bears game,\u201d remarked his wife, Carol. \u201cI didn\u2019t think he would actually go out and get an NIH-funded project in infectious disease.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, not everyone in the scientific community is happy about Jones\u2019s new appointment. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) internship at the CDC is highly coveted in the field of infectious disease. When a formerly mask-agnostic suburban man received the internship simply by showing up, other researchers, namely his son, were none too pleased. \u201cI don\u2019t know how he managed to get that internship at the CDC,\u201d remarked his indignant son, Peter, a third year premed, \u201cThe professor in my lab calls me \u2018beaker bitch,\u2019 and I had to grovel for weeks to even get that. It\u2019s so competitive to get even unpaid research experience, but he just kind of Elle Woods-ed it. \u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A pedantic premed at the <\/span>Shady Dealer<\/span><\/i> consulted with Jones to learn his secret. \u201cI walked in with the unbridled confidence that only an under-qualified, middle-aged, white man from Naperville could possess,\u201d said Jones, \u201cI said that I wanted to do my own research. They called my bluff and put me on the bench. I run their titers for 12 hours a day now. I thought these egg-heads just sat around all day, brainstorming how to take away my Outback Steakhouse Sunday Dinner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His supervisor remarked that she was pleasantly surprised by Jones\u2019s work ethic and data quality once he stopped talking about Ivermectin. Jones has also shown proclivity for scientific communication, raising the vaccination rate of his fantasy football league twofold. Some of the dads on the cul-de-sac are still skeptical, however. \u201cThe commies got Mike! It\u2019s the damn 5G mind-control chip,\u201d commented local dad and self-proclaimed \u2018Truth Warrior,\u2019 Chuck Buck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones suggested Buck apply for his own NIH funding to quell any concerns over the scientific basis of vaccines. “Sometimes you just need to go out and do the research on your own. Hopefully, NIH can provide him the proper facilities and financing to get to the right answer \u2013 just as it did for me. That’s our only difference now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
