Just noting something about this stellar, comprehensive NYT report on the year ahead w coronovirus.
Stick with me for a minute.
The FIRST expert quoted is Dr Harvey Fineberg, fmr president of the US National Academy of Medicine.
Fineberg is also the fmr provost of Harvard

Fineberg is ALSO pres of the Moore Foundation—an NGO that’s poured over $100M into conservation of BC’s ocean health.
Ie, he’s near the top of Jason Kenney’s enviro-conspiracy list.
This is how insane the AB attack on NGO funding is.

Kenney & cronies are so scientifically illiterate that they don’t even know they’re accusing one of America’s most venerated scientists of being in on their kooky conspiracy theory.
But considering what the alt-right’s doing to Fauci, it’s a pattern.

The difference is that Kenney’s not a nutbar leading a protest on some statehouse steps...
He IS the AB state, & he’s poured millions of taxpayer $$ into fomenting this boneheaded conspiracy theory
And attacking Cdns associated with Fineberg’s organization.

What’s depressed me no end is that Canadian news orgs (esp Postmedia) & CPC pols have spread this absurdity far and wide,

It’s not hard to see a blogger make this mistake & get carried away with their pet theory,
But the Harper & Kenney govts promoted this tinfoil tripe, gave it a national platform, held Senate hearings & struck a major inquiry over it
It’s a disgrace & embarrassment.
