1. New email calls into question October Senate Interim Report & @propublica story parroting it. Critics say both ignored NIH funding for Wuhan research to protect lobbying gigs and biodefense "contract racket."

Follow the money to K Street lobbyists

2. FORMER CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATOR: October interim report made no mention of Anthony Fauci nor "gain-of-function research" and only passing reference to NIH. Why?

“You can’t trash the agency you need for lobbying contacts and contracts with, right?”

1. UNMASKING THE NEW YORK TIMES' ZEYNEP TUFEKCI

According to a Cochrane statement and internal emails, Zeynep Tufekci falsely accused a recent Cochrane review author for misinterpretations of the review on masks.

What will the @katiekings w/ @nytopinion do?

2. Cochrane found no evidence that masks work, then put out a clarification which Tufekci seized upon to claim masks do work. She then trashed 1 of 12 Cochrane scientist, even though Cochrane's Karla Soares-Weiser took full responsibility.

1. How Congress Can Investigate the Pandemic Origins Cover-up: I ran congressional investigations into the National Institutes of Health for several years, forcing NIH reform and new laws.

Here's my advice.

2. Do not "follow the science," because virologists and NIH officials gamed the science. Just like tobacco did!

Follow the documents, follow the money.

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.

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

https://twitter.com/thackerpd/status/1633473936003407873

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?

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.

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…

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.

https://twitter.com/JChengWSJ/status/1629821329510916101

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.

1. COVID Made McDonald’s a Public Health Savior
disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/covid-made-m…
Obesity made COVID outcomes worse, so governments partnered on jabs with the junk food chain, because of course.

2. Back in 2004, the film "Super Size Me" shamed McDonald's into removing large sized options from its menu. Artist Ron English lampooned the company w/ an obese Ronald McDonald, a version of the clown who ate only McDonald's.

1. Gerald Parker, associate dean for Global One Health at Texas A&M, will never see his name in a story by @carlzimmer @JoelAchenbach @sciencecohen or @SmritiMallapaty b/c he uses neutral language that does not promote a #scicomm agenda. theeagle.com/news/where-did…

Some examples:

2. Parker describes "two plausible theories" although "neither proves direct and definitive evidence."

This language violates #scicomm which finds that a lab leak is "speculation" that "lacks direct evidence."

Maybe Parker doesn't have a NY Times subscription?

Here's more:

1. Researchers Find No Evidence (Again!) Of Mask Effectiveness, Yet Self-Styled Experts Continue Promotion disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/researchers-…
My interview with Cochrane Review author Tom Jefferson, who says governments "don’t have the science to back up what they claim."

2. Jefferson dismisses mask promoters like @DFisman & @trishgreenhalgh as overnight experts.

"They engage in personal attacks, have all this certainty and think they can see the future. They're not scientists because uncertainty is the engine of science."

1. Imagine @sciencecohen, @amymaxmen or @DavidQuammen being forced to do a journalism and write something like this. Being forced to report would likely give each of these #scicomm writers an aneurysm csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2… by @christacbryant 2. @garyruskin: “In 35 years of doing this, I have never personally bumped up against a stonewalling effort as I have from the NIH regarding the origins of COVID-19”

@JsnFostr has found the same and was forced to sue the NIH to comply w/ #FOIA newsweek.com/publics-busine…

My interview w/ @silkiecarlo about British "misinformation" units spying on journalists, politics .. and YOU, then censoring them on #COVID-19 policies. disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/secretive-br… You're not going to believe this unless you read it and see the Orwellian documents. /1

Members of Parliament have asked these units what they do, and they won't answer. They won't disclose their budgets, staffing, or what they even do.

They are a government within the government.

They have even tracked the "threat" when members of Parliament joined Parler /2
