1) New study find COVID spike protein in blood years after vaccination. NIH spends $1.6B on Long COVID but millions are likely vaccine injured.

2) YALE SCIENTISTS: There is considerable overlap in self-reported symptoms between long COVID and post-vaccination syndrome (PVS). Both share exposure to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with inflammatory responses during infection or vaccination tinyurl.com/4jz4pct6

3) Long COVID patients such as Dawson’s Creek writer Heide Ferrer are hiding vaccine injury. Ferrer took her own life, w/ media reporting it was Long COVID.

Her husband later admitted in a private video that after COVID vax “that’s when things turned.”

1) Congressman @Jim_Jordan on @Weaponization holds hearing today at 10 am on "Censorship Industrial Complex."

Latest updates on two critical censorship groups to be discussed: Center for Countering Digital Hate, and Big Fact Check.

2) I exposed Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) for Tablet, uncovering some of their dark money. I also noted they were started by British political operative Imran Ahmed who began working with the Biden administration to censor Biden critics, such as @RobertKennedyJr

3) Working w/ @mtaibbi, we reported on internal documents from a whistleblower that CCDH's mission was "Kill Musk's Twitter." CCDH's founder is Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer political operative, Morgan McSweeney.

After we released this report, McSweeney disappeared his LinkedIn.

1) I had to dismember @WIRED's @emilylmullin for her misleading piece on the journal @RCJAPH.

Her hit piece contains factual errors, serves as an interesting case study in science writing, a journalism adjacent media profession.

2) Seems clear @WIRED is writing for liberals based on how little play Emily Mullin's piece got on X. CNN reported back in Nov that X is now less partisan and more ideologically balanced.

Pieces that target liberal pieties are now mostly ignored on X. tinyurl.com/yckehwe8

3) You can see here that Mullin's got way more attention on Bluesky than on X. It's where left-leaning reporters w/ TDS send articles when they want to churn liberal activism.

USAID employees engaged in criminal activity, a federal official told me. USAID's Dennis Carroll ran the PREDICT program and misdirected funds to start the Global Virome Project nonprofit.

Carroll retired and joined GVP. Basically, he used fed money to create a retirement job.

2) “It would appear that Dennis Carrol violated federal law that prohibits the use of official resources for private gain or for that of persons or organizations with which he is associated personally,” Craig Holman of Public Citizen.

3) Besides misdirecting federal funds to start GVP, Carrol also began fundraising for the nonprofit while in his government position. Here's emails

Here's Carroll's USAID gov email where he's discussing fundraising. tinyurl.com/2s469fbd

1) Trump transition team is moving to control political games and partisan manoeuvres by NIH career staff, who NIH official says are trying to "tar the new administration."

"There’s a continued lack of transparency.”

2) Trump officials are replacing Lawrence Tabak with NIH researcher Matthew J. Memoli to control the agency until the Senate confirms Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya to run the NIH. tinyurl.com/mr2p735r

3) NIH official shut down private study sections that review scientific grant approvals "to scare everyone into believing [research] studies will shut down and labs will shutter,” said an NIH official in the Director’s office.

1) This @WSJ article by @NidhiSubs & @l_e_whyte is a bit of a mess. Here's why
A. Frames concern of dangerous research as partisan
B. Falsely states "Republicans" think pandemic started in a lab.
C. Quotes researcher w/ COI
D. Misleading reporting on COVID origins

2) "The gain-of-function studies had been a staple of research into viruses, but became an object of controversy and criticism during the pandemic crisis. Republicans in Congress criticized the studies."

FALSE: Scientists have long criticised this research. This is from 2018

3) @NidhiSubs & @l_e_whyte: "Some Republicans have blamed the Covid-19 pandemic on gain-of-function research."

FALSE: A majority of Americans believe the pandemic started in a lab, including 53% of Democrats.
