Another example - people fundraising for blood filtration/stem cell treatment in Japan allegedly to remove COVID vaccine-induced clots. Organized by PhD scientist w/ history of offensive trolling sitting here w/ patient. Some of his 'artwork' from now-deleted tweets shown (apologies to colleagues).

For the record, I didn't actually say this in that public hearing...

This video is chock-full of examples of these awful posts, statements, conspiracies & memes juxtaposed against the people who posted them - now Govt officials in charge of our health, vaccine & drug approvals etc. Well worth watching.

Another one here: Dr. Paul Alexander, HHS staffer & aide to HHS boss Michael Caputo under Trump 1 calling for hanging of COVID scientists.

Also new to me: Apparently Bhattacharya (now NIH head) posted his support to image of Dr. Fauci on a gibbet.

This is heinous stuff & totally disqualifying in normal times. Kulldorff even manages to look evil when he's trying to smile for a photo!

Key passage here:

Not performative BS at all. Every step of this gibberish photographed & posted online by a Senator who could instead be doing something useful like ending this Iran BS, fixing affordability crisis etc..

AI summary of Quay's op ed in WaPo this summer. Heavy on anti-lab leak rhetoric, light on research that will fundamentally improve our chances against the next pandemic which, like all previous ones, will almost certainly emerge from nature (see papers cited in 100s of my prior tweets..)

😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Maybe all this is just a hobby while he gets ready to go back to his real job of sending another UK Bank bust.. www.theguardian.com/money/2007/o...

Old Matt Wrigley's throwing a hissy fit on Lab leak Twitter accusing me of "Lethal Treason" for emailing collaborators & helping them deal w/ conspiracy mongers. This is a side-gig to his main job blaming conservationists for UK's clearly climate change-induced fires.

Even more bizarre was the "Manimal Hybrid" episode of Conspiracy Theory w/ Jesse Ventura - had him camped outside Yerkes (Emory Univ) primate lab stopping cars & demanding access to see the "Humanzees" inside (I kid you not - he believed they were crossing chimps/humans to create hybrid warriors)!!!

I remember that story... Biosecurity labs are a prime conspiracy target - they're locked, public not allowed in, security guards, scientists in white coats doing stuff people don't understand. Even good old Sherlock had Porton Down as the modern day Baskerville...

If you're wondering what lab leakers will be conquering next when COVID paranoia eventually dies out - here's their Lyme disease theory doing the rounds. They forgot to read scientific evidence it's been in the US for 1000s of yrs, was found in a European iceman etc. Hilarious!

Here's one of those intrepid troopers - sadly they didn't even make it to the main room to hear Dr. Fauci repeatedly refuse to answer any of these inane questions...

Don't worry they're not using Rand Paul's conspiratorial rage baiting lab leak BS to drive book sales... they're just letting you know about sources you can read for "a refresher on the publicly available evidence [for a BS conspiracy theory]"...

Their model allows forecasting for specific urban settings to assist urban planning where warming climates are reshaping risks. 4/

Inspirational speech from King of The North & soon-to-be UK Prime Minister @andyburnham.bsky.social. Moving to me as a Mancunian. “This is Manchesterism” will go down in history as the new, inclusive, bottom up, decentralized way for the 21st Century. www.youtube.com/live/SHOcYcI...

Then again.... may be not..🙃

"Nutjob conspiracist of the day" #2: UK MP Rupert Lowe from far right (read 'white supremacist') party "Restore UK" shooting the breeze w/ uber-conspirator Brett Weinstein proposing that USA sent the 'Rona to Wuhan which then released it, so now won't let us look in the freezer.. or something...

It's "nutjob conspiracist of the day" time: Former Member of UK Parliament & anti-vaxxer/lab leaker Andrew Bridgen. Denounced & 'de-whipped' by Conservative Party bosses, stood as Independent 2024 & lost his deposit. Suing his own family's potato & vegetable business because they disowned him.

Not only is he schooling Musk, he's confirming his self-diagnosis that he likely was an alien at some point.. Great. By the way - if you want to buy share in future space business SPNCX (full details TBD).. just sign up - guaranteed the share price will go up then return down just like the rockets

Hold on - not to be outdone in the Fauci subpoena maelstrom, here's the OG conspiracy dude, former minor league soccer player, former sports commentator, multi-book-about-lizard-people author the one, the only David Icke reminding us that COVID doesn't exist - it's the vaccine what dun killed us...

Reminder that this bloke (Jeffrey Tucker) often wears a vampire cape unironically...

Live as we speak, a new conspiracy emerges. Here's that dude from the Right wing "Brownstone Inst." Just asking questions about Fauci and Ebola... You couldn't make this stuff up (although, of course, they did).

"Oh No it didn't!" "Oh yes it did" etc. etc. It's like a school children's pantomime outing... Just saying it over and over again for 5 yrs doesn't make it true.

Yes, well crumpet can mean a lot of things, but here's a good one.. You can buy them in @wegmansofficial.bsky.social by the way.... ... and no, that isn't a so-called "English Muffin"... (sacrilege).

Try cricket mate - a three day match will relax you to the point of stupefaction.

Return of the King!

Well there was this - in 2024 some loser called Berenson tweeted something nasty & your man w/ the Nazi salute said "Prosecute Fauci and Daszak". Strikes me these losers need a hobby - have they tried birdwatching, hiking, stamp collecting? They'd be doing us all a favor...
