1. Instead of reporting, #scicomm writers like @sciencecohen were narrative enforcers for Tony Fauci and other virologists. I'm sure Cohen is hopping mad, but @AshleyRindsberg just went through the emails.
tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
2. After reading this, a source told me @sciencecohen is like a hockey goon, who skates onto the ice and immediately starts throwing punches.

Nothing elegant about this guy

As I explained last summer, Cohen and Fauci protect and promote each other.
3. Since @ScienceMagazine Jon Cohen's emails were made public, he has given conflicting reasons for why he dimed out a whistleblower to his apparent friend Kristian Andersen.

4. People who platform Cohen's unprofessional behavior by hosting him at panels should be ashamed.

Why don't people at @ScienceWriting like @dvergano & @deborahblum explain themselves?

I hope that @CJR or @ErikWemple will cover this mess. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
5. I previously exposed @ScienceMagazine freelancer, @keithkloor

Like Cohen, he works behind the scenes with unsavoury characters. In one case, I caught Kloor working with #Monsanto front groups and pay-for-play academics.

Typical #scicomm

6. More stories coming to explain how this pandemic began. And Congress was just handed copies of a federal assessment pointing to a lab accident in Wuhan.

Not sure when that report will be made public.

But keep reading @AshleyRindsberg and @tabletmag tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

I'm glad this hearing is being televised and recorded. As more evidence comes out pointing to a possible lab accident, we must look back on Ranking Member @RepRaulRuizMD opening statement and hold him accountable.

Unacceptable to ignore evidence and promote partisan sniping
At the @COVIDSelect I have yet to see a single member hold up an email showing what scientists knew and when they knew it.

What is going on?
We now have a Democrat on @COVIDSelect bringing up Donald Trump. This is a clown show.

I was just listening, but now I see it's Raskin. So makes total sense.

We're trying to figure out how the pandemic started and Raskin is doing a "Trump is a bad man."

1. Pandemic Reporting Failed to Seek Facts While Favoring Biopharma Public Relations disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/pandemic-rep…
Rolling Stone's Miles Klee leaves us miles from the truth. (@TexasLindsay_ flushes @MilesKlee)
2. I've never read Miles Klee and ignore @RollingStone since @mtaibbi left. But Klee has a weird toilet fetish, as Lindsay Jones discovered.

But she was really interested in documenting his lack of reporting skills.
3. In one of his many not so great attempts at doing a journalism, Klee went after some nurse reporting vaccine side effects. Klee alleged the effects were not "proven".

The federal government's own database has thousands of reports. Why not do some reporting and call the CDC?

1. CORDONIZ EN ESCABECHE: Get all your ingredients together. I'm adding in vegetables and I chose apple vinegar, but you can choose another vinegar. Image
2. Salt, pepper and brown the quail halves. You're browning, not cooking. In and out on high heat with plenty of oil. Image
3. Sweat your vegetables w/ salt. Again, this is quick, just get them in some oil for three minutes or so. (Don't put in any tomatoes, because they will become mush.) Image

1. Long Before Suspicions Arose About A Lab Leak, Government Scientists Were Fiddling With Bugs to Make Them More Deadly disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/long-before-…

Interview w/ filmmaker and author @krisnewby
2. In the book “Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons”, Newby pulls together historical documents and personal interviews w/ the man who discovered Lyme disease.

3. A great deal of biowarfare research took place at Rocky Mountain Labs, which is now involved in coronavirus research w/ Peter Daszak of EcoHealth.

Daszak funded gain of function virus studies at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

1. WSJ's report on Department of Energy conclusion that lab accident started the pandemic, created a lot of Twitter threads that left out critical information. wsj.com/articles/covid…

First, this is really a second set of DOE scientists, from a different lab than in the past.
2. In June 2021, WSJ reported that DOE Lawrence Livermore's "Z Division" pointed to a lab accident, see foto wsj.com/articles/u-s-r…

I'm told yesterday's news was based on a report from another DOE lab: Los Alamos, which researches pandemic preparedness discover.lanl.gov/news/0705-blac…
3. You could argue this is a second DOE assessment, because it involves different scientists at a different lab. On top of this, we have the FBI assessment that the pandemic started from a lab accident.

Again, you could call this "three separate assessments."

1. EXCLUSIVE: Not hard to fathom why insiders are going to the WSJ reporters w/ fresh intel. Science writers at the NY Times, WashPost, Nature & Science have turned themselves into stenographers for the NIH--#scicomm is not journalism.

We now know FBI has an open investigation.
2. The Energy Department made its judgment with “low confidence”, FBI with “moderate confidence” and this will be ignored by #sccomm ideologues covering the NIH.

More than one million Americans have died in the pandemic that began more than three years ago.
3. "The Covid-19 virus first circulated in Wuhan, China, no later than November 2019, according to the U.S. 2021 intelligence report." (This means some think it was circulating prior, which kicks a hole in Worobey's papers.)
