At the same time, a he's receiving emails from Doktor Danzig, who runs this outbreak of Eco Health alliance. That is a huge proponent of gain, a functional research and Danzig. I mean, if you put aside any value for a second, I think its indisputable. That Danzig has been a dishonest please

couple of themes in fancies emails that I think
open to serious interrogation now which is taken?
Which his arm he knows
very dismissive of store, bought cloth masks at the very beginning of the pandemic. Explains
why they would be useless for virus, particularly in aerosols,.
You see him slowly come around to a very like weak acceptance of maybe, as the pandemic is more widespread,

I don't see anything that lines up with what he was publicly saying about masks in my
in April last year, as he kind of embrace them protection,
you don't see any proof better. He was deliberately trying to protect the supply.
you see as his honest view, that they are store, bought
asks are mostly useless because, as our planet who sang work had the best best interpretation of the mask question too too fast for Fiji is that you didn't think you're gonna make a huge difference, but that they might make a difference in the margins of with someone who's infected and didn't know it to stop them from from spent spreading the viruses quickly due to others and then and then also just using it as a job

I'm a bit out on a limb on this one. For now I dont think for very long, but fancy consistently dismissed and downplay the use of cheap

Am I read on these emails is that they show why we should have a role in our society for experts, but not elevate them too high, not privilege them.
Not put them on a pedestal because they are like almost, and

Michael also had this vanity fair piece which is really impressive. I don't know how many thousands of words it is, but it's it's long and it says, Was- was the fruit of months of investigation which, which shows and their their couple apps,

and just like the nuclear industry before it, you would have the

it would be under the most intense spotlight and they
would it be subject:

be clear that trusting scientists to self regulate this extremely dangerous research.
It was a mistake because they have too much confidence in themselves and their intimate too much of a conflict of interests, because the sources for the funding or so few and far between I mean.
An age funds, thirty two billion dollars of american biology and that's down to the level of funding the salaries of your average.

shows why they try to give you your machine to me one the causes for saying at the very least, why those lessons others this whole absurd should be that he, u dont, go and find no bad viruses in some remote

And there I the peace, that only three locations in which this is done. This will happen.

The pieces is well done, its comprehensive its detailed.
I didn't like the end of it, though, that the end is vanity. Fair peace has two paragraphs about,

authoritarian, have habit or because it had a lovely to hide, is and may always be unknown. That's fair enough
authoritarian state. Is this how communists operate?
ass, he noted whether China did so because that's
China does or whether China did so because China had something to cover up remains to be seen him. That criticism is
a reasonable one in it, outlines one of the problems. In the second paragraph about the blame
really makes no sense unless you believe that american journalists and political figures have no agency and says the United States deserve.
A healthy share of blame is well. Why, thanks to their unprecedented track record of
mendacity and race, baiting Trump and his ally,
had less than zero credibility now, let's assume for
sake of argument that description of the Trump Administration is correct. That's assume that the Trump administration was indeed mendacious and prone to race. Baiting.
That's not an excuse for proof

but we can still evaluate the underlying question. We can still decline.
To marginalize and disparage and mock the people who ask important questions. The people who advanced, credibly and in good faith fairies even in this peace, which is good,

no- there are rumours he's going to retire in the next couple of months as the pandemic ends and he'll go on the award circuit for his work

cold water on the idea that what we are seeing in the jobs numbers is the result of a lack of safe child cap, provided at the federal level,

that what we are seeing in the jobs summit is the product of people being paid to stay at home. Now I understand
that when people head that on the left, they say: ok, but if private businesses
