FAUCI IN THE NEWS---WUHAN TO FACEBOOK, WHY CAN'T FAUCI EXPLAIN KEY EARLY-COVID DECISIONS?

Unless you are having trouble sleeping, I do not recommend trying to read Dr. Anthony Fauci’s 363-page testimony in a federal lawsuit about how U.S. government officials colluded with Big Tech to censor online speech about COVID.

It is positively soporific to parse Fauci saying, “I don’t recall” over and over again in response to questions ranging from the research he was funding at the Wuhan lab to whether his inspiration for lockdowns came from China. In all, President Biden’s Chief Medical Advisor drew a blank on a couple hundred occasions during his late-November deposition detailing crucial government efforts during the earliest days of the pandemic It was an amazing display of total recall — in reverse — all from being put under oath by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.

Despite tap-dancing around many of the questions, Fauci did dish some disturbing truths: READ MORE  AT https://nypost.com/2022/12/10/why-cant-anthony-fauci-explain-key-early-covid-decisions/

R.I.P. JEFFREY FRIEDMAN

By MATTHEW CONTINETTI--December 10, 2022 6:30 AM

In memory of a great teacher

I had not heard from Jeffrey Friedman for several years when, last Sunday evening, a mutual friend told me that he suddenly had died. Jeff was a 63-year-old political theorist, academic, author, and editor of the journal Critical Review whose five years as an assistant professor at Barnard College in the early 2000s partially overlapped with my time across the street at Columbia University. For eight months during my senior year at Columbia, Jeff figured prominently in my life as a teacher, mentor, and collaborator. Our friendship was something of an accident — but a happy one.

Jeff was a voracious reader, clear writer, and sharp intellect whose biting wit enlivened any discussion. As I brood over his passing, I am amazed at his continuing influence on a generation of scholars and journalists who, like me, interacted with him only as undergraduate students or as participants in the summer seminar he used to hold. Jeff imparted lessons not easily forgotten. He formed a community where none existed. His intellectual intensity made him a great teacher. MORE AT Jeffrey Friedman, R.I.P. | National Review
