Angela Rasmussen did an excellent job of blasting Jeffrey Sachs (and also co-author Richard Ebright) for their article claiming that COVID was due to a lab leak. See link and some selected excerpts from Angie’s tweets: Link - https://bit.ly/390lafa Not overlooked, but ignored because I don’t wish to further amplify it. But here’s a quick summary: Like many of his fellow economists with Ivy League credentials but no specific expertise in biology, he suffers from the delusion that he knows what the fuck he’s talking about. Jeff Sachs is the chair of @TheLancet COVID-19 Commission. This isn’t an official government board with any real mandate. It’s just a prestigious medical journal deciding to make up a task force of prestigious people to write more prestigious content for said prestigious journal. The Lancet COVID-19 Commission will issue a bunch of reports that are glorified opinion pieces stating the obvious: we weren’t prepared for the pandemic, there are massive inequities, it had huge global impact, need more vaccines/infrastructure, etc. This includes Richard Ebright, the human manifestation of Pepe the Frog, who spends his days squatting on his Twitter lily pad croaking at everyone who disagrees w/ his uninformed views on biosafety, virology, & evolution that they are shills, stooges, & thralls of the CCP. Feel free to lecture me about professionalism here & get blocked w/ a quickness. I gave a talk on Twitter disinfo & had an entire slide cataloguing every time he called someone (inc me) a stooge in the prior 2 weeks. He’s an abusive bigot & I don’t owe him professional courtesy. Cases starting to come down in Northeast, but still cases going up in undervaccimated areas, mostly in the South Monkeypox problem growing: Global.health tracker -- 921 confirmed MPX cases, 70 suspected (non endemic countries) https://bit.ly/392v2F1
