Question: Did anyone *not* have Fauci as the fall guy?…
🧵🪡
1/6
People in those high level positions get there by their willingness to do unsavory things that others won’t do in exchange for power and ego gratification.
A quick read of his emails makes it’s clear that Fauci was vulnerable in that way…
2/6
And the things that get them those power positions, also make them vulnerable to exploitation by other powerful people…

This is not to say that he didn’t really sign off of hurting those puppies…
just that it’s likely someone(s) - probably in the same sphere that marketed him as a hero - was ready for a change in narrative…
4/6
And what better way to unwrite his heroism than to expose him as a vicious puppy abuser?
Who can defend that? (I know some ppl still are but I doubt it will last.)
It does make you wonder what’s next. I have some ideas but I’d be happy to hear yours.
5/6
And this isn’t ‘conspiracy theory’. It’s how the world works. People jockey for power and control at every level.
And it’s why preserving our fundamental freedoms, at *any* cost, is wise:
To protect us from ourselves.

Given all the claims that masking is cost-free in terms of broader culture, I thought it would be interesting to see what some of our iconic images would look like with the lower half of the subjects' faces covered.
My friend (no, not me) recently had the opportunity to respond to a @tacobell "Tell us about your visit" survey - specifically the "Heath & Safety" portion.
I sure hope that tweeting this doesn't ruin her chances in the $500 sweepstakes.
It made me laugh & had to share ...😂
"I don’t care about your COVID health and safety measures.
I am not operating under the delusion that a fast-food vendor can protect me from a respiratory virus.
You claim to be 'committed to my health' but if that were the case, you’d stop selling me your 'food'...
"The truth is that you don’t give a shit about my health, as evidenced by the nutritional content of your product.
And I'm good with that! In fact, that's been our explicit arrangement all along.
It seems you suddenly misunderstand the role Taco Bell plays in my life...
What's the word for an economic system in which the government can artificially restrict a company's (or even an entire sector's) customer base at will?
Because it's not capitalism...
And, yes, we have regulatory oversight: FLSA, FCC, CPSC, EPA, etc... the list of regulatory agencies is extensive.
But what we're facing mass disruption of the most basic market forces using a flimsy justification that crumbles under the most superficial scrutiny...
Does removing people from the economy reduce the transmission of a primarily non-lethal virus? No.
So you can tell me this has been going on for years and there's truth in that...but this is a matter of scope, scale & lack of any reasonable explanation.
Yesterday, @Medium informed me via email that they were deleting my account for “elevated risk of potential harm to persons or public health”
The only piece I pub'd there in the last 9mo. was a narrative essay expressing shock at how we’ve treated children - 6w ago...

And for that thoughtcrime, they are burning my books in the town square.
All my books.
Even the ones on parenting and autism and writing and health.
Medium thinks I am a dangerous dissident in need of silencing...
Understand I wasn’t cited for dispensing medical advice or ‘misinfo’ (which we know means inconvenient truths) like I was when they censored The Curve is Already Flat in April 2002.
This time, it was my opinions and morals that were deemed a risk to people or public health...
“Listen…there’s a new vaccine & it decreases your child’s risk from a disease w/ 99.9972% survival rate by .0027%. We also have zero data on long-term side effects (& not much on the short-term either.)”
What’s your reply?
I’ve yet to see anyone say “Sign my kid up!”
And that’s because when we’re thinking rationally, we don’t subject kids to a medical intervention that has almost no benefit and unknown costs.
This is what the precautionary principle *actually* looks like.
Cue all the contrarians saying “Sign my kid up!” 😂
