On the day of Dr. Fauci's testimony, @nytimes.com decides to run a deeply unethical OpEd with snazzy graphics and snappy headlines about the Lab Leak.

The article itself contains multiple falsehoods and deep mischaracterizations.

Let's take every point in turn 👇🧵

Does the times think they'll get right wing guys to subscribe by running this shit, or is it just to convince moderates to stay frightened?

Chen apparently does not understand passaging virus in cell culture at all. They don’t get more pathogenic, they mutate to be less so! Serial passage in culture is how vaccines like the 17D YFV vaccine was created!

I will never buy/subscribe or even share anything from the New York times. When people stop putting up with their shitty journalism, maybe they'll change.

WaPo article by Diamond was also misleading. Rep Wenstrup is not a military surgeon he’s a podiatrist who does foot surgery. The Democrat that was recruited went 2 Harvard Med, did an ER residency, did a master’s in public health & Public policy. Ruiz is 100x more qualified than Wenstrup!

What has always struck me about the lab leak crowd is that they never seem to have any evidence of SARS-CoV-2 being present in any lab prior to the first documented human case, nor have any particular interest in finding any. Without that, there's no lab leak.

this is embarrassing & unethical behavior to see from the NYT, but i’m not surprised after their total failure to cover the basics of trans healthcare. at this point it should be clear the NYT’s editorial staff is scientifically illiterate.

Let's start here. Quite the coincidence, huh? It is, indeed, except, Wuhan isn't all that expected being (1) the largest city in Central China, (2) a busy hub, and (3) had/has a lively wildlife trade. In addition to a lab working on coronaviruses, among other things.

I believe one day when all these get cooled. And these people will move on. We can continue searching the scientific evidence of how this novel virus originated. No one wants a third time of the same thing. Not the Chinese people, not the American people, nobody on this planet...

I cancelled the prescription when they started manipulating the public opinion on the Russo-Ukrainian war, pandering to Kremlin.

The NYT news reports are fact checked. Opinions are not. The Times consciously decides to publish this kind of garbage, like their focus on anti-trans propaganda.

It seems the lesson of Maya Angelou applies to news outlets too: "My dear, when people show you who they are, why don't you believe them? Why must you be shown 29 times before you can see who they really are? Why can't you get it the first time?"

. 1. The USA Government has hundreds of biolabs to weaponize bacteria & virus, spending billions of dollars in foreign countries. 2. It's the non-credible NYTimes. 3. Congress made millions & Corporations made billions off of Covid-Coronavirus. 4. Where is the White House Pandemic Response Team?
