I am stunned, delighted, humbled, and so grateful to you all.

I just discovered tonight that my new book #WinEveryArgument is now officially a New York Times bestseller!

Thank you. 🙏🏽

Still can’t quite believe it. Seeing is believing, I guess. Pinching myself.
So buy the book if you haven’t already 😉

Loads of rightwing and centrist non-scientist dudes on this site have now convinced themselves that the lab leak theory wasn’t just ‘suppressed’ but is also ‘the most likely factual explanation of the origin’ of Covid - when most scientists don’t think that’s the case at all! 🤦🏽‍♂️

The simple reason why so many people weren’t keen to discuss the ‘lab leak’ *theory* is because it was originally conflated by the right with ‘Chinese bio weapon’ conspiracies and continues to be conflated by the right with anti-Fauci conspiracies. Blame the conspiracy theorists.

“I won’t say Fox ‘News’ because why should I play along with this conceit? It is not a news channel. It is a propaganda arm of the Republican party. It is a booster of white supremacy."

My interview with the @guardian to promote my new book. Quotes 🧵

"The biggest cancel culture brigade in this country is the modern American right. They’re the ones banning books. They’re the ones preventing the teaching of history. They’re the ones purging the Republican party of any kind of moderates."
