    1. The New York Times continues to cite him as one of its primary sources on the question of COVID's origins.

      Peter Daszak is still cited by respectable media, and that is insulting, given his record on truthiness.

      Η επιλογή των ενόρκων πρεπει να ειναι τυχαία ή σταθμισμένη (όπως γινόταν με τις "φυλές" της αρχαίας Αθήνας)? Κι ας έχουμε εδώ κ την ανάποδη ένδειξη, όπου 10 λευκοί + 1 μαύρος ένορκοι καταδίκασαν 3 λευκούς φονιάδες.

    1. the way they do it's funny you should say like why do we support Saudi Arabia to yeah but Saudi Arabia has oil at least there's some logic you can connect dots they're really simple I don't believe

    1. ara Sally Goza, the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, stated that, as pediatricians, what children receive from school is much more than just education. Therefore, the neces-sary measures should be taken properly and face-to-face education should begin with students in schools (10). In the USA, the re-opening of schools in many states and regions is left to regional administrations, provided that priority is given to the approach of re-opening schools ac-cording to the availability of measures (42

    1. Leana Wen, M.D. (2021, November 4). Covid-19 has claimed the lives of over 750,000 Americans. That’s more than the populations of Alaska, Vermont, Washington DC, or Wyoming. Please, let’s not become numb to this tremendous and tragic loss. Https://t.co/urdZgTg2hV [Tweet]. @DrLeanaWen. https://twitter.com/DrLeanaWen/status/1456274565164724227

      Inconceivable that accusators want to ban art works back-in-time. It's like burning books, but virtually.

    1. This long-read from 2015,describes a soviet-era massive "envelope-opening" operations, only digital. Terrorism was just the excuse for the regime to get hold of people's communications.

    1. «έσπρωχνε» σε ΜΜΕ «συνεντεύξεις, επώνυμα άρθρα γνώμης τοπικής παραγωγής και προϊόντα του Γραφείου Προγραμμάτων Διεθνούς Πληροφόρησης του Στέιτ Ντιπάρτμεντ για καίρια ζητήματα διεθνούς πολιτικής» (06ATHENS1805)

    3. ο (τότε βουλευτής) Αντώνης Σαμαράς εμφανίζεται σαν γραμματοκομιστής, ο οποίος θα αναλάμβανε να μεταφέρει «σε όσους πρέπει να ξέρουν» τη δυσαρέσκεια της πρεσβείας για τις επισκέψεις Ρώσων αξιωματούχων και την αγορά ρωσικών οπλικών συστημάτων (08ATHENS1188_a)
    4. επίσκεψη που πραγματοποίησε ο καθηγητής Γιώργος Μπαμπινιώτης στην αμερικανική πρεσβεία ζητώντας βοήθεια για την αλλαγή του συστήματος εισαγωγής στα πανεπιστήμια (τηλεγράφημα 09ATHENS407)
    5. χεδόν δέκα χρόνια από την αποκάλυψη των τηλεγραφημάτων της αμερικανικής πρεσβείας η Ελλάδα φαίνεται να έχει «πετύχει» όλους τους στόχους της αμερικανικής διπλωματίας: το πανεπιστημιακό άσυλο καταργήθηκε, η πόρτα για την αναγνώριση των αμερικανικών κολεγίων άνοιξε ενώ αστυνομικοί ετοιμάζονται να λάβουν θέσεις μέσα στα εκπαιδευτικά ιδρύματα.
    1. ReconfigBehSci. (2021, October 30). as the fallout from the JCVI minutes build, it’s worth considering that the corresponding U.S. body ACIP has been live streaming its meetings on YouTube... Transparency helps reduce faulty reasoning...we should have learned that lesson with the very first lockdown, no? [Tweet]. @SciBeh. https://twitter.com/SciBeh/status/1454502337368764421

    1. The US military is bigger and more costly than the next ten countries combined. It is patently absurd to think that it is Russia or China, not the US that is setting the world stage militarily.

      Propaganda have is think US is the peace force Russia & China the bullies, while it's the 1 vs 10.

    2. The US is not only an Empire, it is the biggest and most powerful Empire the world has ever seen. It has 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and it bends other countries to its will through sanctions and war. It has interfered to subvert the democratic processes more than 50 times in Latin America alone.

      Why is US a great unchallenged imperial?

    1. Ο Ραντ σημειώνει επίσης στη πρώτη σελίδα ότι αφήνει κατά μέρος σε αυτό το έγγραφο «τη βαθύτερη ανησυχία ότι ο πρωταρχικός ρόλος των κυρίαρχων οικονομικών στην κοινωνία μας είναι να παρέχουν δικαιολογίες για μια εγκληματικά καταπιεστική, μη βιώσιμη και άδικη κοινωνική τάξη».

      Ταξική θεωρία πλέον μέσα και από την Fed (o Jeremy Rudd ειναι ανωτερος υπάλληλός της)!

    1. This article fails to recognize the societal benefits of free education. Since the US is all about the individual, this isn't surprising. However, the facts - as evidenced by countries where education is essentially free - is that it increases the societal level of education, which improves so many things, not the least of which is more informed and rational voting.

    1. I've got serious reservations about this Gerst fellow. His answers are too vague and contain too many bald assertions. The form of his answers fits what I've noticed to be a "style" of regressives seeking to promote obsolete traditions and social norms.

      Granted, it's difficult to present precise information in "interview format" articles like this one, but education is too important to get get wrong - again.

    1. Cleavon MD 💉. (2021, July 22). 46 y.o. Brandon Haynes from #Louisiana died from COVID. "I asked him to take the vaccine & he wouldn’t.

    1. Mike Baker. (2021, August 28). Today, Mississippi surpassed New York in total coronavirus deaths per capita. For a long time, I didn’t think we’d ever see any state end up worse than New York or New Jersey. One year ago today, Mississippi’s death rate was less than half of New York’s.

    1. Craig Spencer MD MPH. (2021, August 6). Even with Delta, the likelihood of severe illness if you’re fully immunized is still a small fraction of the likelihood for the unvaccinated. In other words, nearly every COVID-19-related death right now is preventable with vaccination. [Tweet]. @Craig_A_Spencer. https://twitter.com/Craig_A_Spencer/status/1423674337089949710

    1. Tammy Duckworth. (2021, July 22). Please—Listen to the experts. 97% of those hospitalized from COVID-19 are unvaccinated. Over 99% of those dying from COVID-19 are unvaccinated.
