More calls for careful consideration of the coronavirus 'lab leak' hypothesis.

Nothing as powerful as an idea whose time has come.

nytimes.com/2021/05/13/sci… When you've lost the Times...

[Lab leak proponents] "have been active this year since a World Health Organization team issued a report claiming that such a leak was extremely unlikely, even though the mission never investigated any Chinese labs."

WHO lost the Times? Don't start

Now its PolitFact vs. PolitFact on the Sen. Paul/ Dr Fauci controversy: did the NIH fund 'gain of function' research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology or not?

Feb: Yes, but not tied to COVID.

politifact.com/factchecks/202…

Now: Fauci denies all.

Awkward.

politifact.com/article/2021/m… ImageImage We can all admire Dr. Fauci's attempt to move the goalposts in his recent PolitiFact interview.

But no, Rand Paul did NOT 'conflate' an NIH grant with 'we were involved in creating the virus'.

Roll the transcript!

@TallBlondeGuy An FYI: This sounds a lot like the case we tried to track down last week - this baby was NOT vaccinated but mom was. Apparently breast milk led to low platelets, rash all over body.

Red flags on "Burkman/Wohl tried to smear Mueller" story as told by The Atlantic, the Daily Beast, NBC News and the NY Times.
Burkman and Wohl may be as dumb and irresponsible as their reputations but this *may* have been an O'Keefe style attempt to bait the Fake News media. 1/ @awprokop of Vox has an excellent summary of the story and does note that this may have been a trolling effort by Wohl and/or Burkman. He's not conspiratorial enough to suggest a 4Chan-type spoof of both sides, but I am! (Does conning Burkman sound hard?)
