Every physician should read this editorial in the Lancet.

It is not parody.

[Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @DrDiGiorgio]

I’d say when the scientific journals are sympathetic to Marxism, an ideology that killed millions, that, no, they should not be trusted.

[Alina Chan @Ayjchan]

Most biosecurity folks I've met are more worried about bioterror than accidental lab leaks. But here's an illegal biolab in the US run by an anti-🇺🇸 person receiving millions from China, US CDC refused to test samples labeled Ebola, HIV, etc. No idea what the lab intended to do.

Oh yeah, Covid origins. Remember that mystery?

[Michael Ron Bowling @mrbcyber]

Chinese government policies created the greatest famine in history, during the great leap forward.

Chinese state subsidized fishing fleets are now decimating fish stocks in Asia and South America. With bottom trawling and other damaging fishing methods, this is a real threat to food supply.

These reckless actions must be resisted by the rest of the world, to prevent another tragedy.

[LA\/ENDER @LavenderGhast]

The fishing fleet just proves that all environmentalism over the last 70 years had nothing to do with actually saving the planet and everything to do with the west and politics. Because none of them have or are speaking up or going out to fight the boats. They continue to just lecture the least polluting countries for not using paper straws and getting their nuclear plants shut down.

[Jason Locasale @LocasaleLab]

It’s not easy for me to dismiss journals like Nature. I built much of my career publishing in Cell, Nature, and Science, and I knew many of the editors personally through longstanding professional relationships. There is still some good science published there, and some editors and reviewers genuinely strive for rigor and reproducibility.

Over the past decade especially, much of it has become deeply politicized in ways that align with increasing revenue and expanding profit margins. Editorial agendas blur into political positioning, while business incentives — impact factor inflation, citation maximization, chasing trendy topics, preferential amplification of already prominent authors, and even publishing work likely to generate citations despite known weaknesses — shape what gets visibility. These are financial incentives moreso than intellectual ones.

Furthermore, expansion into international markets such as China — while accommodating the political requirements necessary to operate there — compromises claims of independence.

The difficulty is that abandoning journals requires a credible alternative merit system — and most of the reform movements failed because they did not build one that could replace the authority those journals accumulated for over 100 years. That vacuum is partly why the system persists, even as trust erodes.

@R_H_Ebright @spectator @Freddygray31 @mattwridley , this article from August 2019 was not taken seriously enough. The report came out of Cambridge University, and, while not mentioned, the people involved knew which countries it referred to...

We’re not taking health security nearly seriously enough.

[Jan Jekielek @JanJekielek]

The 'Proximal Origin' paper is an abomination; more than anything else it made me realize something was horribly wrong with our establishment.

As a budding biologist years ago, Nature & its sub-journals were the pinnacle of biology publishing.

It was so OBVIOUSLY false it's also an obvious place to start the many COVID-era paper retractions that need to happen. Otherwise we continue on the road of scientism.

I dreamed of being published in Nature back then. Seeing this obviously false paper completely blew my mind.

WTF happened to Academia?

[Matthew Abraham @RenegadeAcademe]

I am a tenured Full Professor of English in the process of being dismissed from the University of Arizona for fighting against and exposing harmful DEI practices. My public records lawsuit (Matthew Abraham, PhD v. Arizona Board of Regents) seeks to affirm the presumption toward disclosure at the heart of Arizona public records law.

After hearing my case last December, the Division 2 Arizona Court of Appeals developed a novel two-step test that undermines the presumption toward disclosure, gives the state wider latitude to withhold records by citing to speculative harms to withhold broad swaths of records, and makes it much more difficult for the members of the public to obtain such records from state-funded government agencies. The AZ Supreme Court will hear my case on November 24, 2025, at 9:30 (Mountain Standard Time). It will be live-streamed at https://t.co/9QWuN1DFmn

In response to this litigation, the University of Arizona has enacted extreme retaliation against me, including interfering with my outside employment.

My Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure (CAFT) hearing will be held on Zoom on November 20 and December 2, 2025. On November 20, the hearing is from 2–5 pm (Mountain Standard Time). On December 2, the hearing is from 11 am–5 pm (Mountain Standard Time). The Zoom hearing will be open to the public, and I will post the link here on X the day before the November 20th hearing.

Will you attend the CAFT hearing on Zoom on these dates and times?

If we decide we don't want you to buy that steak or take that trip or fill that car with gas (all in the name of climate control, of course) then we will simply deny that transaction. And if you speak out against us, we may just seize your money altogether."

Phil &friends frame origin as a contest betw science v conspiracy theory, fact v fiction. A framing requiring much ignorance to essential facts is soon absurd. Eg, another of many CoVs w a FCS reveals nothing re: a tenable research-related "leak"- this never properly looked into!

A digital euro would preserve Europeans’ freedom of choice and privacy and strengthen our sovereignty and resilience.
