This is so beautiful. These elders care so much about the suffering of those they will likely never meet.

Eight years later I'm still here. The technology she fought is winning, we have changed many hearts and minds, and she's still hawking pseudo-scientific and science soft solutions to a much smaller audience of admirers. Her star would have been brighter if she went with science.

In Jan 2021 (ie Pompeo’s and Asher’s nonsense)

What they neglect to say is that by 2023 the US intelligence community had concluded that SARS2 was not a weapon and the ‘3 workers’ thing was rubbish

Journalistic malpractise? Sure.
But the utter contempt for the intellect of their own readers seduces all too many tabloids and news outlets to repackage years-old content as new 'scoops' periodically.

The #lableak theory is dead, but they will make sure the myth will never die.

The story was also in the Daily Mail in March 2021. Talk about a scoop!

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…

There's still nothing on a lab leak origin of the pandemic, so people keep recycling old news to keep the story alive. The The Telegraph 'scoop' is stale: Sharri Markson reported that call 'on an open line' in 2021 already, Tony Diver. And it's the usual Trump State Dept nonsense.

Of course, any virologist worth the salt has said the same thing: recombinant engineering of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 was impossible.

That is why the 'gain-of-function engineering' myth is among the stupidest fan fictions pushed by the #lableak truthers.

Another scientist speaks out.

More quality reporting.. Whoever this 'Dazsek' is, he needs to be taken down...

Awesome of President Biden to posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jim Thorpe of the Sac and Fox Nation! He was the greatest athlete to ever live and overcame racism and everything else to personify Native American excellence!

I'n my latest column, I wrote about the GOP's campaign to smear the leader of a crucial anti-pandemic research organization--and the cowardly Democrats who went along: latimes.com/business/story…

'They misquoted him to his face, misrepresented his work, and spouted cocksure inanities showing with every word that, scientifically speaking, they have no idea what they're talking about.'

Congress hard at work sabotaging essential work by Peter Daszak EcoHealth Alliance

Dr. Benjamin Mateus, MD Peter Daszak Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD Dr. Angela Rasmussen Ziyad Al-Aly, MD Dr Ellie Murray, ScD Arijit Chakravarty What a crazy time to be alive! Instead of thanking Dr. Daszak and EcoHealth for their outstanding work, the politicians are promoting far-right conspiracy theories!

This is not just an attack on a single individual, it’s an attack against science and rationality.

Truly an abhorrent spectacle the subcommittee hearing. It was an inquisition!

My quote from the article

On Sunday, I was in Wash DC at the National Academy of Sciences, warning this would happen. John Berman on CNN once called me “ a Cassandra”fated to see the future, but equally fated to be ignored, perhaps he was right

The chilling message from both GOP and Democrats in the U.S. Congress to young Americans: “Scientists are enemies of the people, you have options in life, don’t throw your opportunities away by becoming a scientist, at least not in America 🇺🇸.” Honestly, I’m beyond disgusted.
