Global USA Andy Slavitt is out there tweeting in my defense. Yasmeen Abutaleb (Washington Post) Has agreed to write a story trying to uncover the source of this organized effort to discredit me period up to this point I have told her to hold back on doing any big story. However, I think the time is coming very soon uh to do something about this unprecedented attack that I am experiencing. We are getting bombarded by letters from Republican congressmen and senators (Ranking Minorities) on the various committees asking pages and pages of ridiculous questions that really have no answers concerning our oversight of the Wuhan Ecohealth grant and demanding explanation for things that really in many respects are trivial. All of it is underscored by a strong accusatory tone in all the questions. One letter in question was 14 pages long from Cathy McMorris Rogers addressed to Francis Collins. it contained the most miniscule details about technicalities of grants that was getting to the point that we did not have good oversight of the ecohealth grants and hence the strong implication that we may have supported research that led to SARS-Cov-2. Absolutely preposterous !!! PRESS: NPR “Morning Edition” with Noel King; Spectrum News1 TV “Inside the Issues” with Alex Cohen; CNN with Don Lemon How Trump’s allies are still trying to insulate him from blame for the coronavirus pandemic President Donald Trump waves to members of the media as he leaves the White House to go to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after he tested positive for the coronavirus on Oct. 2, 2020, in Washington. (Alex Brandon/AP) By Philip Bump National correspondent Today at 10:30 a.m. EDT On Tuesday, freshman Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) gave a speech from the floor of the House that was as furious as it was terse, as inscrutable as it was accusatory. Over the span of 64 words, he called for the creation of a commission aimed at exploring the origins of the coronavirus at the heart of the pandemic, called the country’s top infectious-disease expert Anthony S. Fauci a “demon doctor,” accused Fauci of lying to Congress, accused Fauci of having a hand in creating the virus and suggested that Fauci was linked to “funding the torture of puppies in Africa.” It took 65 words just to summarize the claims, which should tell you something about Cawthorn’s succinctness.
