It's a scary time. Seriously. [2020-09-25 21:10:33] [Eddie Holmes] Seriously. It's hard to believe that we've got ourselves involved in this. [2020-09-25 21:12:30] [Eddie Holmes] I've passed it all onto a reporter at the NYT who is doing a very big piece on the Yan report. They were amazed by this leaflet. I've also passed it onto the state health officials who ought to know about the dangerous misinformation that's going around. [2020-09-25 21:13:21] [Kristian Andersen] > Seriously. It's hard to believe that we've got ourselves involved in this I'm sure Matt Lucas is thrilled.... :man_in_business_suit_levitating: [2020-09-25 21:14:29] [Kristian Andersen] Is it Nicholas Wade who's on it at NYT? He asked me some rather strange questions (which I dodged). [2020-09-25 21:17:43] [Eddie Holmes] Amy Qin. She's the China correspondent. She was recently kicked out of China and is now in Taiwan. She seems fine. She's very interested in the Bannon angle. [2020-09-25 21:18:39] [Kristian Andersen] Great! I did not appreciate Nicholas' angle - just dumb basic questions. [2020-09-25 21:19:57] [Eddie Holmes] She's not a scientist - more into the politics - but I think they want to take down the Yan report. Would be great. [2020-09-26 07:09:11] [Robert Garry] Good news. NYT usually assigns a back-up reporter for a major story to "fact-check." So, it's a process. Hope Qin brings in the miamiherald reporting https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article245132400.html [2020-09-26 07:30:50] [Robert Garry] Speaking of Fox News Angie Rasmussen [who I like at lot, but find myself not so subtly disagreeing with on more than a few occasions - aerosol transmission/masks, antibody-negative long-haulers, human challenge trials] is in an all-out twitter WAR with Alex Berenson complete with threats of lawsuits. Berenson, a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson, has sold 100s of thousands of copies of short "books" ~21 pages about "Unreported Truths" of COVID-19. This is likely a lot more $$$ than AR has made with her twitter and occasional article for Forbes. Berenson is likely an inspiration, maybe even a writer, for Guo/Bannon trifold Truth About COVID-19. [2020-09-26 07:55:45] [Kristian Andersen] Oh wow, just looked at some of those exchanges - harsh. I can't imagine what kind of abuse _she_ gets. Love her "take no prisoners" style though - tough as nails. [2020-09-26 08:11:34] [Robert Garry]
