ANTHONY FAUCI: THE MAN WHO THOUGHT HE WAS SCIENCE

Anthony Fauci: The Man Who Thought He Was Science By Jayanta Bhattacharya 

October 15, 2024

As a young medical student, I admired Tony Fauci. I bought and read Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, a vital textbook that Fauci co-edited. In reading his new memoir, On Call, I remembered why I admired him. His concern about his patients’ plights, especially HIV patients, comes through clearly.

Unfortunately, Fauci’s memoir omits vital details about his failures as an administrator, an adviser to politicians, and a key figure in America’s public health response to infectious disease threats over the past 40 years. His life story is a Greek tragedy. Fauci’s evident intelligence and diligence are why the country and the world expected so much of him, but his hubris caused his failure as a public servant.  MORE AT Anthony Fauci: The Man Who Thought He Was Science ⋆ Brownstone Institute

THE MANY MISSTEPS OF MONDAIRE JONES

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

THE MANY MISSTEPS OF MONDAIRE JONES----As he looks to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, former Rep. Mondaire Jones isn’t too worried about the fact that Sean Patrick Maloney, the former chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, lost the seat to Lawler two years ago. He argues that people in the 17th Congressional District know him much better than Maloney, owing to his two years representing them in Congress during the Biden years.

Returning to the Lower Hudson Valley district after a doomed run for the 10th Congressional District in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Jones is banking on his existing relationships in the district. While Jones may be remembered in the district, he may not be well-liked – largely thanks to a series of self-inflicted blunders.

Jones was a progressive when he entered politics amid the Black Lives Matter protests and the pandemic. That label still haunts him, as Lawler looks to link him to the “defund the police” movement and brings up his past comments calling Immigration and Customs Enforcement a “racist institution.” Since leaving Congress, Jones has made a concerted effort to change the way voters see him, calling out leftists “who are more interested in burning shit down” than working to make incremental change. In the process, he has alienated a chunk of the district’s progressive base that previously supported him strongly. The flashpoint came earlier this year, when he endorsed Westchester County Executive George Latimer over Rep. Jamaal Bowman during a heated primary battle. Jones criticized his former colleague’s strident denunciations of Israel, which he said had made his Jewish constituents feel unsafe.

MONKEYPOX: EVIDENCE OF THE 'PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS' LIE

“Pandemic Preparedness,” and the gain-of-function research that underlies it, operates under a grand deception, a big lie.

The Biological Weapons Convention, which every major nation has signed, “prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons.” As a result, gain-of-function research – the process of taking viruses and other pathogens found in nature and making them more transmissible and dangerous in humans – must be justified by defining it as something other than what it really is – namely, the creation of biological weapons and countermeasures for those weapons.
