Critical theory is infecting everything. I’ve seen threads covering the impact on education (k-12 and university), the military, and the federal government. This thread is going to highlight the impact on medicine and the medical field.

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

Joe Biden claimed he ran in 2020 because he saw Best Buy dressed nerds with tiki torches emerge from corn fields screaming about Jews.

Now he's completely AWOL on his college keffiyeh waring TikTok base, because they might cost him an electoral state, and the media is like "well what's a few jews if Democracy is on the line"

[Bari Weiss @bariweiss]

For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted with chants of "Go back to Africa."

Or imagine that a gay student at Yale was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit in the eye with a flagpole.

Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security.

There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.

Just remember the righteous—and rightful—outrage over the white supremacist “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where neo-Nazis chanted “The Jews will not replace us.”

This weekend at Columbia and Yale, student demonstrators did all of the above—only it was directed at Jews. They told Columbia students to “go back to Poland.” A Jewish woman at Yale was assaulted with a Palestinian flag. And an Orthodox rabbi at Columbia told students to go home for their safety.

What will the response be?

Today, the Biden admin is releasing regulations more powerful than most real legislation. His Title IX changes:

- Redefine sex in civil rights law to include gender identity, exposing girls and women across the country to men in their bathrooms, sports teams, and locker rooms

Once again I am asking you to remember that 99% of American universities are completely dependent on government programs and taxpayer largesse and that curtailing their psycho behavior is a mere matter of political will

[Xi Van Fleet @XVanFleet]

The Marxist-run Columbia University reaps what it sowed: Communist revolutionaries, who are now turning Columbia into a “People’s University”!

The Chinese Red Guards knew best what a “People’s University” was all about: ouster those in power, put them through struggle sessions, take over the campus, and spread the revolution to the larger society, which is the story of the Chinese Cultural Revolution!

Remember this every time Democrats talk about student loan "forgiveness."

Parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children.

All health care happening in schools, mental health care included, MUST be done with the knowledge and consent of the parent.

breaking news from @Weaponization investigation into big tech censorship. These are the most important documents to come out thus far. They directly tie Facebook's policy changes, escalating censorship, to pressure from the Biden admin. @AlexBerenson @thackerpd @JonathanTurley

Our new preprint is out: We reanalyze & expand the highly-influential Boston school mask study by Cowger et al published in @NEJM
- Our expanded sample actually found higher case rates (not significant) in the masking districts
- The authors' original findings did not hold up when not using the very specific Callaway Sant'Anna Diff in Diff methodology which we argue was inappropriate to use given the data they had
-We show districts that dropped masks 1st had the biggest drop in cases (!)
-We found prior immunity could explain up to 2/3 of the variation in case rates (!)

We discuss in detail why causal inference was inappropriate in the original paper (https://t.co/sBZoyXLKE7) including statements about masks effectively reducing cases or being able to help mitigate structural racism

Very grateful to have been able to work with this incredible team:
@AChandra_TO @ShamezLadhani @VPrasadMDMPH & Ram Duriseti

Hopefully the peer reviewed version of our paper will be available soon. In the meantime, we welcome feedback of course!
Our raw data, as always, are available on my github; link in the article

(if you ask me our paper should have been published under statistics rather than physics, but I guess arXiv disagreed!)

How about that

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Democrats (and their media allies) now routinely depict criticisms of DOJ, FBI, CIA, health policy officials or any other powerful executive branch agency as dangerous, inappropriate and even unpatriotic.

That powerful officials should be immune from critique is authoritarian.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

As I was saying: @PeterHotez isn't above doing media hits. By all appearances, he's desperate to do as many as he can grab.

What he fears - and what his allies demand he not do - are interviews with a journalist who will challenge him rather than heap mindless praise on him:

[Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic @COVIDSelect]

🚨SUBPOENA ALERT🚨

@COVIDSelect announces its FIRST subpoena for “Proximal Origins” author Kristian Andersen’s private communications with the paper's co-authors & related info on COVID-19 origins.

We are following the breadcrumbs of a COVID cover-up straight to the source!

[Jeremy Shaw, MD @JeremyShawMD]

The era has passed when doctors were perceived as infallible bearers of divine wisdom, with the common “man” unquestioningly accepting their proclamations as absolute truth.

If I have to debate ideologues (some of whom were wrongfully handed medical degrees) who claim that men can become women and that there is such a thing as “wrong puberty”, which children need to be “saved” from, no subject is beyond the scope of a debate.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

If misinformation is the problem, does it not behoove you to do everything you possibly can to debunk it on one of the biggest platforms in the history of communication?

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

In a taxpayer-funded campaign to push 'woke' ideology onto the world, the UN is advocating for the decriminalization of adults having sex with children regardless of the child’s age so long as the child “consents.” At the very least, American taxpayers should not be underwriting the UN until it stops all promotion of pedophilia and sex trafficking.

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

After years of official claims to the contrary, strong new evidence suggests the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a Chinese lab. According to multiple sources, the researchers who led gain-of-function research, which increases infectiousness, were the first to be infected.
