Jake Scott-Open Letter

Jake,

I watched your performance before Senator Johnson’s committee, and let’s be clear — it cannot even be called “misinformation,” it was outright lying. You lied on national TV.

You paraded around “661 placebo-controlled studies” as proof for your position. You claim to have reviewed 1088 studies from 1800-2025. But you knew full well those studies were not supportive, and when Aaron Siri dismantled them one by one in front of you, essentially your only response was: “How could you have read them so quickly? I only gave them to you at 2 AM.” That wasn’t a rebuttal. That was an admission you had no defense — and it exposed the tactic for what it was: a desperate bluff.

Did you even compile that list yourself? Or did Big Pharma hand it to you? Did you actually review those 1,088 studies before culling them down to 661? Or did you just submit them blindly, hoping the volume alone would intimidate? Did you even read one of them? How could you present a list of wholly irrelevant articles as “support” for your position when you clearly hadn’t even examined them?

On top of that:

1. You claimed the mRNA was “true” mRNA that degraded rapidly. False. It is nucleoside-modified mRNA, specifically engineered not to degrade. There are numerous studies that have determined that.

2. You acted unaware that lipid nanoparticles were designed to cross biological barriers, including the blood–brain barrier. That’s basic pharmacology. That’s what the original patents for the LNP’s were issued for. Have you not even looked at the basics of the science you were brought in to testify about?

3. You stumbled over VAERS, the most fundamental vaccine safety surveillance system in the U.S. Any resident should know it — yet you weren’t even aware of it, except you could claim that ‘correlation does not mean causation’. Does that mean you did know of it, as you were perfectly capable of parting the mainstream narrative deriding its pertinence? Or were you just lying again?

4. You couldn’t even articulate the difference between how an mRNA “vaccine” functions compared to a traditional vaccine — a question so elementary a first-year medical student could recite it. That level of ignorance was on full display for the entire country.

You weren’t just out of your depth. You were humiliated on national television. And worse, you embarrassed Stanford — an institution that claims to uphold the highest academic and ethical standards. They should be mortified to see one of their own so thoroughly exposed for dishonesty and incompetence.

You embarrassed the entire medical profession.

You chose to step into that seat. You chose to posture as an expert. And in doing so, you revealed yourself to be neither. If you still have any professional integrity, you will retract your false statements, apologize to the committee, and to the public you misled.

Sincerely,

M. Kirk Moore, MD
