This is basically an attack on the rights of scientists to say and write what they believe to be true.

    It's just infuriating. And the by-line in that article seems racist to me.

    Agreed - casual racism thanks to WSJ and the Bloomshitters. How predictable.

    Yes - indeed - Denise Chow one of two reporters allowed into WIV has no doubt that the LL is pure crap - she got pushed to the back and my statement seems to have been selectively edited - sure investigate but only to put the bSto rest.

    How is it possible that they believe you had anything to do with the Lancet letter?

    I can't quite articulate how angry I am about this: we have every right to express our scientific opinion and every rightto change our views on the basis of new data.

    Its anti-science for sure.

    Vilification of scientists and politicization of science. Not smart.

    Saw Tony on Rachael Maddow today. Great reporting - Tony gave maybe his best interview ever, which is saying a lot. RM went all the way back to ACT-UP and the initial cases of unusual pneumonia - no not the ones in Wuhan the ones 40 years to the day from the beginning of the AIDS pandemic. Not covered is the fact that Tony saved the mRNA vaccine programs - they we crap - then they got better - then they got amazing. That's all on Tony.
