Seem quite obvious that the NYT is in total denial that, in fact, IT is the joke…and has been for far too long….

“The president and the administration feel that Dr. Fauci has played an incredible role in getting the pandemic under control, being a voice to the public throughout the course of the pandemic,”

Yep, absolutely “incredible”!! I mean, who woulda believed it….
(Actually, she’s pretty “incredible”, too….)

+ Bonus?…(on the relationship between truly knowing—if covering up—the provenance of the virus and the rapid speed of vaccine development…though this would seem to be conjectural)

As far as “the Science” goes, we’ve hit full Stasi towards the end of the 2016 (and beginning of 2021)…and now we’ve hit full Lysenko. Wonder what other “surprises” await….

It’s an older story, but Redfield’s reaction interested me.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/former-cdc-director-robert-redfield-says-he-received-death-threats-from-scientists-after-stating-he-believes-wuhan-lab-leak-theory/ar-AAKFLVa?ocid=msedgdhp

The former CDC director said the threats came after a March 26 CNN interview, when he told the network, “I am of the point of view that I still think the most likely etiology of this pathogen in Wuhan was from a laboratory, you know, escaped.”

Redfield disclosed in a Vanity Fair interview published on Thursday that he “received death threats from fellow scientists” for the comment. “After the interview aired, death threats flooded his inbox,” the publication noted. “The vitriol came not just from strangers who thought he was being racially insensitive but also from prominent scientists, some of whom used to be his friends. One said he should just ‘wither and die.’”
…
“I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis,” Redfield lamented in Thursday’s interview. “I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect it from science.”

He means the “science community” – science is remarkably silent about most things – but I thought the rejection by his presumed friends fit with the lived experience of Neo and many of the commenters here (and around the web as well).

It’s sad that “friends” has become such a much-devalued label.
Of course, as we’ve seen, real friends who stick by the cancel-culture targets get hit by the same rocks. However, we’ve also seen that persevering often gains additional supporters and sometimes the mob turns away to easier targets.

The first one seems so easy and cheap. But each one must be followed by more covering up for reality shining through the gaps of the ones before.

A con artist/sociopath knows that it is wise to simply move and start the game anew at another fresh location. Our media tries this by memory-holing and stealth edits but now, with the internet, that is much harder than it was 20 years ago. So the lies pile up.
