Think plagiarism is bad? Well, check out Claudine Gay's predecessor as Harvard president: Larry Bacow.

This wild ride involves Harvard, insolvent Chinese real estate giant Evergrande, Xi Jinping, Anthony Fauci and Covid-19.

Buckle up. 🧵 The story begins in January 2020, before most realized a pandemic was emerging. "There were no formal governmental interactions between NIH/CDC and China [so] this leader of business in China reached out to Harvard asking for help."

The leader was Evergrande chairman Hui Ka Yan

Harvard has a deep history of anti-Semitism. Here are some cases:

1. For years, Jews were assigned an asterisk * next to their names on the university’s housing register to indicate 'a racial group for which the supply exceeds the House Masters’ demand.

“Joseph Goebbels spoke briefly and gracefully and appropriately.”

Three years after Covid-19, we have no answers. So let me come out and say what my recent investigation is really about:

Was the pandemic a product of, or involved with, a US bioweapons intelligence effort gone very wrong?

Here are some highlights 🧵
unherd.com/2023/06/why-di… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 1. USAID, America's foreign aid agency, has given at least $65 million to EcoHealth Alliance, the NGO that funneled taxpayer money to the Wuhan lab.

.@RobertKennedyJr is now clearly a contender to Biden. Yesterday, he did an attention-getting Twitter Space with @DavidSacks, @elonmusk, @balajis and others.

In response, @nytimes ran a same-day takedown to discredit Kennedy. Here are 5 ways they did it.

nytimes.com/2023/06/05/us/… 1. IMAGERY:

The image of @RobertKennedyJr isn't terrible though certainly there are better options from wires. But compare imagery in this piece to images from @nytimes article on Biden's health after he recently fell, published a day before the Kennedy piece. See a difference?

.@nytimes is backpedaling on lab leak. But how did they actually cover the pandemic's origin? Here's one indicative quote:

"𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁. 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀."

("Who's To Blame for the Pandemic?" Sept. 2020)

Same article:

If you own a cellphone, you caused the pandemic.
If you eat food, you caused the pandemic.
If you wear clothes, you caused the pandemic.

Who did NOT cause the pandemic?

@PeterDaszak, the guy who funded the Wuhan lab — one of only 2 sources quoted in the piece.

On Feb. 17, 2020 @nytimes & @washingtonpost ran nearly identical stories calling lab leak a “fringe” idea and “conspiracy theory”.

wsj.com/articles/covid… This was a month before a pandemic was declared; months before Trump said a word about lab leak; and weeks before the first scientific paper was released on the topic. /2

By @CJR's account, the press’s offenses are so voluminous, and so far outside the lanes of accepted journalistic practice, that they’re hard to keep track of.

🧵 from my piece in today's @TheSpectator /1

thespectator.com/topic/russiaga… There is former @newrepublic editor @FranklinFoer submitting drafts of his articles to FusionGPS.

In a burst of on-the-nose-ism, Foer named the file containing one of his stories "Manchuriancandidate.Foer.” /2
