Yes. Some public-health messaging was too absolute.
Fauci’s “dead end” language in May 2021 was stronger than the evidence justified. Walensky’s “vaccinated people don’t carry the virus” wording was also too categorical.
Those statements were made when Alpha-era data showed vaccination dramatically reduced infection and transmission.
Then Delta arrived, breakthrough transmission became much more important, and the guidance changed.
That deserves criticism. Public-health officials should have said:
“Vaccination greatly reduces infection and transmission, but does not eliminate either.”
But an overconfident sentence in 2021 does not erase the randomized trials, the hospitalization data, or the mortality gap between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
There is plenty to criticize without turning every mistake into evidence that the entire pandemic response was fraudulent.
Here is data for you: public health officials lied and said the vaccine would dead end the virus. Fauci said this on Face the Nation. Rochelle Walensky said vaccinated people don't carry the virus or get sick.
This is only a small part of the lies and mismanagement during COVID. We should have people like you exposing this. Pushing for truth. Ensuring that this does not happen again. What we have, for the most part, is people covering for what was done.

He’s so proud of psyop-ing America into suicide by buying Twitter, buying Trump, and convincing America a demented pedophile was better than the Black lady..
I, for one, am tired of malignant narcissist tech bros using their money to rewire people’s minds without their consent.

It's even more urgent that Jared Kushner answer these questions.

An important warning, Dr. Adams.
Dr. Peter Hotez (@PeterHotez) has been warning for years that dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases could become increasingly serious threats along the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Florida’s outbreak illustrates why those warnings deserve attention.
Public health preparedness means taking emerging threats seriously before they become emergencies—not waiting until the case counts make the headlines.

It really seems like Elon Musk is pushing everything anti-Ukrainian, anti-Zelenskyy, pro-russian, and pro-putin on X, while quietly suppressing the reach of pro-Ukrainian content.
At least that’s the impression I’ve been getting lately.

In many ways they are, and anyone who votes with him is going to deserve what they get. The rest of us will just be punished. Don’t let that happen.

"We should (have) some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes."
For anyone watching and understanding Ukraine's years-long struggle for survival, the words of SpaceX founder and world's richest man Elon Musk ring with deep moral bankruptcy.

My late colleague and brilliant co U.S. Science Envoy with me in the Obama Admin the @Caltech Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Ahmed Zewail would disagree. God rest his soul he didn’t have to endure this, and of course RFK Jr forgets that it was the Arab scientists of the Middle Ages who kept Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen alive to hand it down in the Renaissance.

A new paper by John Catanzaro, Nicolas Hulscher, and Peter McCullough proposes that mRNA COVID vaccines may produce persistent biological effects and potentially transfer vaccine-derived material between people.
The accompanying article goes further, calling for an immediate halt to mRNA technology.
Those are extraordinary claims. But the paper also cites several genuine scientific observations that deserve to be understood rather than dismissed.
So what does the evidence actually establish?
And where does a plausible biological mechanism become an unsupported conclusion?
Let’s examine the science.

1/n Many thanks to @PamelaBrownCNN for hosting me on @CNNSitRoom explaining the recent history of H5N1 how it was introduced into the U.S. wild bird population in 2022; got introduced into hens and caused the price of eggs went up; then in early 2024 it transitioned into dairy cattle but transmission to humans was prevented through milk pasteurization. And now mink…

The two most damaging psyops in American history:
1) Peter Thiel, Jeffrey Epstein, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn et al working with the Russians to steal the 2016 election
2) Elon Musk buying Twitter to redpill enough people to steal the 2024 election
The PayPal Mafia is the problem.
This interview makes me sick. Where is Musk’s sympathy for Ukrainian civilians??
Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a "Traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.
Watch every second of his response.
"We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing."
"I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can't give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day."
"I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they're virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. It means parents lost a son. For what? Nothing."

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous and ill thought out. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again
Weird coincidence that I mention @wallaceme. Looks like Lord Ashcroft’s fluffer, doyenne of oligarchs, just happened to retweet a convicted fraudster to attack our journalism. Why? Because we constantly expose his old chums for their Brexit shenanigans bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w…

Scheduled for @CNNSitRoom tomorrow (Monday) around 10:20 AM eastern, to discuss H5N1 on an Utah mink farm over the summer, the risks to humans and why U.S. pandemic preparedness needs to up its game for one health issues and zoonotic spillover.
