I am a Democrat. If the Republicans win control of either house of the United States Congress, I hope they will hold tough hearings on
#COVID19
origins. These hearings should be about getting to the right answer, not settling any personal political scores.
While the
@nytimes
was blindly and unquestioningly following the lead of the Proximal Origin authors re
#COVID19
origins, those scientists were scheming to manipulate NYT coverage. It’s time for the NYT to review its disastrous coverage of the pandemic origins issue.
There can be no doubt the Proximal Origin authors consciously and inappropriately downplayed the
#COVID19
research-related origin hypothesis and coordinated efforts manipulating media coverage. They also interacted like noxious frat boys.
No longer private Slack excerpts below.
When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the risk of responding was great but the cost of not responding proved greater. I️ know Putin has nukes, but the cost of not sufficiently responding now to the slaughter in
#Ukraine
may be greater than the substantial risk of taking action.
As I've been saying for a year, we need a full & unrestricted int'l forensic investigation into the origins of
#COVID19
w/ full access to all relevant records, samples, & personnel. Without that access & overly managed by
#China
, the
@WHO
investigation doesn't meet that standard.
I encourage everyone to follow
@AuschwitzMuseum
feed. It is so essential we recognize that every victim of atrocity and abuse is an individual with hopes and dreams. We owe every victim of every tragedy our unfailing efforts to fight for human rights, dignity, and justice.
23 July 1930 | A French Jewish girl, Mireille Rebecca Marcovici, was born in Nice.
In May 1944 she was deported to
#Auschwitz
. She was murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
If Chinese gov't media can't even speak honestly about
#ChloeZhao
's historic
#Oscar
, should we really just trust
#Beijing
's word about
#COVID19
origins? That's why we urgently need a full & unrestricted investigation into how this terrible pandemic began.
There is still much we don’t know about
#COVID19
origins in China but it’s already clear COVID-19 was the greatest crime of the 21st century to date. Twenty million people are dead from a totally avoidable pandemic. It’s time for an international tribunal.
Retweet if you agree we need a comprehensive investigation into
#COVID19
origins with full access to all relevant records, samples & personnel in China and, as appropriate, beyond. It’s just absurd that 20 million people are unnecessarily dead and we’re still even debating this.
Pretty much every major news organization in the world, with some rare exceptions like
@WSJ
,
@Le_Figaro
, and
@DailyMailUK
, should now be holding emergency editorial sessions assessing how they got the
#COVID19
origins story so wrong and what they must now do to make amends.
I️ am a former White House staff member from the Clinton administration, when I️ served on the NSC. These staffers from the Biden White House should have expressed their dissent internally or resigned. Having done neither and chosen this course, they should be fired.
It’s bizarre that Iranian women are protesting for freedom and that American college students are protesting to support the mullahs oppressing Iranian women and exporting terrorism across the Middle East and world.
I'm an expert advisor to the
@WHO
& progressive. I believe the organization is absolutely essential. I support
@DrTedros
. But WHO
#COVID19
investigators were 100% wrong to say that we should not actively examine all pandemic origin hypotheses, including an accidental lab leak.
China’s government has ordered ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, to censor all communications about the protests. The time has come for the US government to follow India‘s lead and ban TikTok in the United States.
The still circumstantial evidence supporting the
#COVID19
research-related origin hypothesis is becoming more overwhelming by the day. This new piece by
@mattwridley
is an absolute must read.
The overwhelming weight of the available circumstantial evidence suggests
#COVID19
stems from an accidental lab incident in Wuhan. China’s continued cover-up can only be considered further evidence of guilt.
The Chinese government’s cover-up of
#COVID19
origins is an international crime of historic proportions. Many Western scientists, scientific journals, and media organizations have been complicit. The time has come for a full accounting.
The Chinese Communist Party is responsible for the deaths of 47 million Chinese people. If you love Chinese people, as you should, you should condemn the CCP for these atrocities.
Some people recommend giving China a pass & not fully investigating
#COVID19
origins now so Beijing will be more supportive of future pandemic prevention efforts. This is a terrible mistake. There will be no transparency & accountability in the future if we don’t demand it now.
The evidence overwhelmingly suggests
#COVID19
stems from a research related incident in Wuhan. Every media organization in the world should be covering this Earth-shattering story. If they disagree, they should lay out the evidence as to why.
Highly significant Peter Daszak applied in 2018 for USG funding to genetically engineer a furin cleavage site into bat coronaviruses, which was rejected by
@DARPA
. How could Peter call the lab origin hypothesis a "conspiracy theory" knowing this?
