Matt Taibbi’s TK News Joins the List of Media Outlets Alarmed at Facebook Censorship disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/matt-taibbis…
Fact checkers don’t check facts, they check inconvenient narratives. Former FDA criminal investigator says FDA "complicit in fraud" by Pfizer. /1
FORMER FDA CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR: My point here is that instead of the regulators protecting the public, in our case, they were complicit in a fraud....they may soon have some explaining to do. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/matt-taibbis… @MaryanneDemasi @VPrasadMDMPH @ianbirrell /2
In a secret recording, One executive described the problems conducting Pfizer’s clinical trial as a “cleanup on aisle five. And we know that it’s significant.” /3
In a prior investigation for The BMJ, I documented several examples of "fact check" sites screwing up fact checks. See here: bmj.com/content/374/bm… These "fact check" site have a deplorable history. /4
I also document 3 examples of media personalities who are "science writers" and not actual reporters: Amy Maxmen, Emily Willingham, David Roberts. All three are members of Team Science and the Fauci Fan Club.

The public deserves better. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/matt-taibbis… /5
FORMER FDA CRIMINIAL INVESTIGATOR: Having worked at FDA, I see it as surprising, for many reasons, that the agency turned a blind eye to a company's knowing submission of fraudulent data. /END

Scientists-For-Hire Synthesize Artificial Research to Protect Astroturf disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/scientists-f…
When parents question if children should roll around in dirty old tires and chemical grass, astroturf scientists have real fake answers. /1 Image
As concerns have grown about harmful chemicals in fake grass, industry has synthesized a crop of AstroTurf scientists to protect artificial turf—researchers who resemble scientists just as nonflammable, UV-stabilized, TrafficMASTER (with a ten-year warranty!) mimics real fescue/2 Image
One astroturf expert defending fake grass is Julie C. Lemay, with the consulting firm Gradient, where she works w/ Michael K. Peterson, who disclosed at a study’s bottom that he “was retained as a scientific advisor by the Recycled Rubber Council from 2015 to May 2017.” /3

Latest emails show--surprise!--researchers orchestrated an article to denigrate a Wuhan lab leak as a "conspiracy" disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/why-do-peopl… Will science publisher Taylor and Francis retract an unethical, secretly edited article that appears to have skated past peer review? /1
The article “No credible evidence supporting claims of the laboratory engineering of SARS-CoV-2" was secretly edited by Ralph Baric of UNC & Shi Zhengli of Wuhan.

Surprise! Both do genetic engineering of coronaviruses! disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/why-do-peopl… /2
When asked to submit his edits, Ralph Baric emailed, “Sure, but don’t want to be cited in as having commented prior to submission.”

Baric wasn't acknowledged.

Don't know what's going on at @newrepublic but seems obvious they no longer use fact checkers.

Just to be clear, when I wrote this piece on tobacco lobbyist & Fox News Columnist Steve Milloy, @newrepublic required me to turn in half a banker's box of notes and documents.

Smoked Out

@newrepublic Right out of the gate, Helen Branswell caught an error in Beyerstein's essay. That error has still not been corrected. /3

Physicist David Robert Grimes Finds Conspiracies Everywhere disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/physicist-da…
If you questions vaccine side effects? Conspiracy theorist

Pesticides & radiation? Conspiracy theorist....

Clinical trials? Conspiracy!

#OriginsOfCovd Conspiracy theorist, of course! /1
Grimes excels at is wading into controversial scientific topics, for which he has little experience or publication record, and “debunking” contrary evidence and real experts as “conspiracy theorists.” @BBCJohnBeattie /2
We now better understand the rare side effects of blood clotting w/ AstraZeneca's vaccine.

But when agencies first reported these side effects, David Grimes rushed to dismiss them in an @IrishTimesOpEd in the @IrishTimes @ScienceNelson disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/physicist-da… /3

Pfizer #COVID19 Vaccine Clinical Trial Whistleblower's Documents Released disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/pfizer-covid… The FDA never bothered to inspect Ventavia & Pfizer's clinical trial, but internal documents find Ventavia was terrified of an FDA inspection.

"THE FDA IS COMING....SOON" /1
Ventavia also created a warning to staff to stop unblinding during Pfizer's clinical trial.

C4591001 is the protocol for Pfizer's #COVID19 vaccine clinical trial.

QUESTION: Why has @pfizer continued to hire Ventavia for more vaccine clinical trials? /2
Some of the problems, Jackson discovered, were that Ventavia discovered that some of their staff were "falsifying data." via @DisInfoChron disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/pfizer-covid… /3

Pursued On All Sides By Journalists and Congress, Peter Daszak Seeks Refuge At Science Magazine, via @DisInfoChron disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/pursued-on-a…
Enough with silly nonreporting reporting, send the subpoenas /1
It's become clear that, despite assurances from Tim Appenzeller at Science, that publication won't pursue stories about congressional investigations that make Peter Daszak or the NIH look bad. /2
The latest volley from Science is this odd profile of Peter Daszak that Science's Editor-in-Chief made clear on Twitter was for political purposes to undermine opinions that #originsofcovid could have started in a Wuhan lab. This sort of honesty is called a Kinsley gaffe. /3
