@GregTHR Here's a recent op-ed by @lmstroud89 on Bloomberg. He has taken his show on the (global) road. https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/op-ed-world-ngo-day-2021-and-lessons-from-bloomberg-s-anti-tobacco-campaign-in/article_eba4a954-7776-11eb-9cb4-ef27ed13b95b.html
Neera Tanden took Michael Bloomberg money and censored a publication critical of his time as NYC Mayor.
Even if she hadn't punched a reporter or outed a sexual harassment victim or been a Twitter troll, she still would not be fit to run OMB.
It’s a bold move to smear your own party's most important senator as a racist and sexist.
But @TianaTheFirst says evidently, @JoeBiden believes that ramming through a professional Twitter troll as the director of the OMB is worth it.

THREAD
"Challenging Dogma" is a series of twelve blog posts by @mbsiegel written between July 2005 and November 2007. The dogma is that of tobacco control.
I picked 5 posts to this thread but links to all of them can be found in blog post #12 (last tweet in this thread).

My last tweet mentioned The Sun, consistently most widely-read by working class people. But it's also now in the world's most widely-read online news outlet. Lovely to see a light shone on the maniacal Bloomberg-funded cranks at the @WHO https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9309039/E-cigarettes-UK-BANNED-World-Health-Organisation-recommendations.html
Worst non-vaping bill of the year goes to HB 507 in Hawaii, which aims to unconstitutionally require film companies to pay royalties for the "filming of scenic shots of iconic locations."
Two committee votes thus far. One single 'no' vote.

Population-level health impacts, wtf are those?
If a single nonsmoker starts vaping, adult smokers must be left with two options; quit or die.
Don't worry, tobacco control has this under control.
@SetNicFree 2.1 The industry can sell only if she can guarantee there will be no new buyers that never smoked before. the industry failed in this task, so there is a need to stop marketing these new nicotine products, instead of let them create a new market and addicts.
Adults like flavors, including flavorful abominations.
We know how Iowans feel about their breakfast pizza, but have you considered Froot Loops on pizza? Well, now's the time to consider it, as the Forest Ave. location in Des Moines of Fong's Pizza has added it to their menu. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/dining/2021/02/26/fongs-pizza-des-moines-restaurant-new-breakfast-pizza-froot-loops/6837808002/
You should try some medical #cannabis cream on your back -- the topicals are non-intoxicating, anti-inflammatory and quite soothing to irritated muscles. I hope you feel better soon! https://twitter.com/JeromeAdamsMD/status/1365663810309263363
My back went out and I’m stuck in bed for at least a day- maybe the weekend. I never watch tv (besides @TheSimpsons) but is there a show I show binge watch while incapacitated? The family has @hulu, @hbomax, @disneyplus and @netflix. Any fans of @wandavision?
"NGOs across the world ought to reexamine their relationship with Lord Bloomberg’s billions, and should be wary of the funding and tactics his organization has used, and continues to use, to try to influence tobacco control policies."
