Rejoice – Kyrsten Sinema’s Political Career is Already Over, TPM, Josh Marshall Amidst all the...

The weasel noticed this, ran to the hare, told him about it, and said: “Brother hare, let’s go...

I have a piece up at Science Based Medicine digging into some misleading claims by two authors of the Great Barrington Declaration about Anthony Fauci. Frankly I was surprised at how brazen some of the misrepresentations were. For example, they criticize Fauci for being in favor of school closures, but: . . . if you follow the link Kulldorff and Bhattacharya supply, what you will find is a Substack post that shows Fauci approved of school...
