That sound you hear is the screenshots being taken for when this thread is almost certainly deleted then almost certainly ends up in some lawsuits or court filings.
(I will not be posting the screenshots because they appear to have been private DMs shared without permission. I don't know if that is the case for sure, but my guess is that is why it was deleted.)
So ... long story short ... the whole thing about the WHO dismissing the Wuhan lab leak theory ... Tedros just quietly walked it back and says it should still be investigated after all!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
— Macbeth in "Macbeth" by Shakespeare...
"Let me see. [Takes the skull.] Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!"
— David Foster Wallace
Dr. Li Wenliang - who spoke up about the coronavirus early on, was silenced by Chinese Communist Party authorities, and later contracted COVID-19 himself - died one year ago today.
(The Chinese Communist Party is evil.)
Dr. Li Wenliang makes an appearance in my cover story from last April.
The U.S. is not in a Civil War nor a Depression. There is civil strife, from violent protests to the Capitol siege, & the pandemic & lockdowns have devastated many businesses & jobs, yet it is the job of journalists to report using accurate terminology & without the dramatics.
Double byline on this story, yet Rahm Emanuel is allowed to claim blatantly false things. Not a single line in there to point out that the U.S. is not, in fact, engaged in a civil war nor going through a depression.
Also, Rahm Emanuel lists five things, so he actually should've said "F, all of the above" if we're doing the Scantron thing, but that's not the main point here.
Fauci says the infection rate when looked at over the past 7 days (Trump's final days) may be plateauing.
Fauci says the coronavirus mutation in the U.K. seems to have twice the transmissibility, tho it does not appear to be more deadly on a 1-to-1 basis. He says the South Africa & Brazil mutations seem to harm the effectiveness of the monoclonal antibodies that have been developed.
Fauci says it does not appear that the South Africa strain of the coronavirus is yet here in the U.S.
