Paul D. Thacker in UnHerd laments the willingness of scientific journalists to accept results from yet-to-be reviewed scientific articles – aka “pre-prints” – when they support pre-existing agendas. This disturbing lack of skepticism was evident in the New York Times’ recent reporting on studies purporting to find “incontrovertible” evidence dismissing the Wuhan lab leak theory.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth
Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.
