so I am a public agent and don’t know who I work for, get my instructions from street signs, newspapers and pieces of conversation I snap out of the air
@jimkleiber@jamesbmeigs@WSJFreeEx "In which way did he specifically not follow the scientific process?" Did you read the article? "Dr. Fauci kept an iron grip on information about the virus, suppressed questions about its likely origin in a Wuhan lab and bullied scientists to shut up and fall in line. "
@jimkleiber@jamesbmeigs@WSJFreeEx The evidence suggests that the public were deliberately mislead, and valid science was deliberately suppressed, by Fauci. It's not a question of poor, well-intentioned choices made under pressure - it's a question of deliberate wrong-doing, a coverup.
@jamesbmeigs@WSJFreeEx The funny thing is that I remember reading about Fauci's connections to the Wuhan lab in a Newsweek article right at the beginning of the pandemic. Hidden in plain site indeed.
@jimkleiber@jamesbmeigs@WSJFreeEx It doesn't trouble you that a man who was virtually canonised as a paragon of scientific integrity, and treated by many as an unquestionable authority throughout the entire affair, has been shown to have abused the scientific process? You're happy to brush that under the rug?
@JensEspers35519@DavidWa28957772@mattwridley The Denmark thing is a complete dogde. Denmark's excess deaths caught up later on: "Weekly death data reveal how mortality started to increase in mid-2021 in Denmark, Finland and Norway, and continued above the expected level through 2022." https://t.co/qwKDEzn6AM
@JensEspers35519@mattwridley With respect, that 's complete nonsense. Even before lockdown, the risk profile of Covid was common knowledge. The response to Covid was completely unprecedented, driven by mass hysteria and, in no small part, oppurtunistic profiteering.
@MarkGottlieb The whole problem wouldn't exist if they paid for tickets. And why is the small guy so unpopular that neither of the other dudes are prepared to hoist him on their shoudlers to watch the game? Must be a real stinker.
@SwipeWright Extrapolate that idea to a country, and say if hard-working people are unable to afford to live in the country where they were born, that's just tough shit and they should emigrate? Nothing particularly leftist about proposing that the state should ensure basic living standards.
@Geiger_Capital The spirit of the Geist speaks through Sweeney in this clip: the era of the Woke Harridan is over. In reality, nobody ever liked this smug, passive-aggressive type one iota - they ruled the roast in the early smart phone/social media era, but that ship has sailed now.
@IrishTimesOpEd Artists have already become depressingly conformist and bourgeoisie this century; putting them on the government's dime would make them even more timid and conventional in their outlook, wondering if something they say might sour the munificence of their sugar daddy.
@ImmortanZit Christians and Muslims believe that they are immortal beings created by and in the image of God.
Atheists don't believe that immortal beings created in the image of God actually exist.
Atheists don't deny the existence of theists.
Stop misusing the word "existence."
@JoeBrolly1993 The whole thing was quite difficult to parse as either humour or political commentary. Seemed more like Brolley getting carried away with his own private thoughts while his co-host looked at the ground and waited for it to end.
@Ben_Scallan Remember when nobody other than Simon Harris wanted to be the leader of FG? At this stage most of them just want the quiet life and the steady gravy train.
@Paul_Heron_ I like all of them, but That Hideous Strength is a real curiosity - it's like a mixture of Dr Who, Nigel Kneale, William Burroughs and 21st century conspiracy theory that seems to come of nowhere.
@GGuttertrash@ObtainerOf In Vineland, the radicals are a film collective called 24ps though - they just go around filming stuff. Somewhat different from planting bombs, etc, in the movie. To be fair also, though, the Paris 75 are clearly based on 70s groups like Weather Underground, not Antifa.
