Part of the sweep of government in the first days of the Trump administration has been a freeze on communications. The explosion has hit the whole of public health bureaucracies, which Trump personally blames in part for the meltdown of his previous term of president in his last year. The pause in operations is designed […]
They Are Scrubbing the Internet Prior to the Most Contentious Presidential Election
For the first time in decades, Archive.org has stopped taking images of content on all platforms ahead of the most contentious presidential election to date. Instances of censorship are growing to the point of normalization. Despite ongoing litigation and more public attention, mainstream social media has been more ferocious in recent months than ever before. […]
Key Quotes From Fauci’s Interview With The New York Times
Billed as the most in-depth interview yet, the New York Times published a very long piece that contains some rather startling admissions, claims, and defenses from Anthony Fauci, the face of lockdowns and shot mandates. The author and interviewer is David Wallace-Wells, who before (and now after) Covid specialized in writing about climate change, invokes every predictable trope. […]
Former FDA Commissioner, Pfizer Director Scott Gottlieb Was a Major Influence on Lockdowns
The latest of the Twitter Files is reported by Alex Berenson, who was granted access to messaging systems from the times before Elon Musk took over. His first round of reporting concerns the role of Scott Gottlieb, who is a perfect example of an influencer who is technically outside of government but might as well be a […]
Fauci Ordered to Turn Over Documents in Lawsuit Alleging Government Collusion with Social Media Companies
A lawsuit against the federal government — Anthony Fauci in particular — from the Attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana has been brewing for a good part of the summer of 2022. The issue concerns the censoring of certain high-level experts on social media, three of whom are senior scholars of the Brownstone Institute. We know for sure that this […]
Most ‘Egregious Science Error’ of Pandemic Was to Deny Natural Immunity
Yes, Fauci has never worried about consistency or even contradicting himself one day to the next, often without explanation. Too often his doling out “the science” has felt like performance art. Still, the record is that Fauci and all his compatriots either downplayed or denied natural immunity for two years. That has been the source […]
Why Did the CDC Drastically Alter COVID Guidance?
One day I’m reading an internal memo commissioned by the Democratic Party to provide advice to dealing with Covid policy. The next day I’m reading headlines about how the CDC has drastically altered its advice on how to deal with Covid. Is there a relationship? At this point, only the hopelessly naive would think otherwise. […]
They Were Wrong About COVID and Everything is Unraveling
It’s been the most astonishing two weeks for American public life, with so many prescient changes, from new censorships, admissions, backtracks, experts speaking out, public outrage, and what strikes me as a progressive unraveling of every orthodoxy imposed nearly two years ago. Not even the influential and powerful are in a position to defend what […]
