"My background in biomedical science affords me the ability to read and understand that research"

That may be so - although generic "background in biomedical science" does not give you the ability to properly evaluate highly specialized research - but I doubt you went out and read them and spent sufficient time analyzing their content as to be able to offer an opinion within hours of the appointment being announced. Possible? Barely. Plausible? Not really.
And I haven't voiced any opinion other than that the cheerleaders here seem to be cheering on the basis of no actual knowledge.  I'm not throwing stones and am not so smug as to say something like your bon mot: "your opinion or comments in this matter are irrelevant."
