Cambridge recruiting Jason Arday was fully justified. The naysayers are being particularly narrow-minded and hypocritical. Instead, the impact of his courageous appointment on the UK, Cambridge, sociology and education should be celebrated. x.com/soniasodha/...

I’ve written for the Times today on what Jason Arday’s rise and fall from grace tells us about the chunks of modern academia that have become places that prize midwitted groupthink, and people parroting idiotic ideologies to remain in with their mates.

1/2 Reading 'Biological War - A Scenario' by @AnnieJacobsen. Milton Leitenberg, David Hoffman ( @thedeadhandbook ), David Relman, @R_H_Ebright, Jeffrey Sachs, Robert Kadlec, and many more were interviewed.

A soldier in tactical gear walks through a bleak, smoke-filled environment, emphasizing themes of biological warfare in the book cover.

1/4 At the end of 2021, I gave an interview to a French newspaper where I carefully explained how the available data and the clear risk factors pointed to a research accident in Wuhan. @DrJMarine @HansMahncke @SenRandPaul @SenRonJohnson #DRASTIC @ladepechedumidi

Two scientists in protective gear work in the P4 lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, focusing on COVID-19 research.

Here Lipkin mentions again knowing of the outbreak in mid-December (interview: Sep 2025): Lipkin: "When I first heard about it, which was the middle of December, earlier than many other people.." @sigridbratlie @HansMahncke @RandPaul @ashishkjha @BillyBostickson @R_H_Ebright youtu.be/jMIvf5MHC6s...

1/7 I nearly missed that one. It's a beauty. Everything is in it. Also Fauci keeps complaining in his diary of people stealing his show. They dare go on TV instead of him. Like that a..hole HHS spokeswoman Jenny Backus during the Obama administration. It's so much better under Trump.

A list of movie stars and athletes on a Zoom call organized by Kim Kardashian, noting attendees like Michael Kives and Katy Perry.

Fauci had to preserve his shot at the Nobel Prize. Hopefully his diary, once published in the correct form, would get that done. Could disparage and insult @R_H_Ebright and @SenRandPaul there, plus the rest of us, and ride into the rich Nobel sunset.

2021-07-22, as Fauci was bending the intel with Cameron: When I walked into the Oval the POTUS put his hands on my shoulder, brought me close and said: “You did a great job in stuffing that horse’s ass” referring to Rand Paul. He also said that 1st Lady Jill was “cheering for me” as she watched it.

1/6 Fauci Diary prequel, continued: It's always about himself, and he seems obsessed with money, but not so much about ethics. Why did he jump to thinking of himself as HHS when he does not want the job, and nobody asked him. Is that the $5 millions after his own $1 mln loss?

Text discussing stock market losses, political appointments, and a humanitarian awards event featuring notable attendees.

1/14 For those who wonder why I am pretty sure that Ian Lipkin was a CIA mole in the Proximal Origin team, I'll just paraphrase Lipkin and say that it's 'obvious'. It's so funny the way he screwed it up, #DRASTIC @Jerdman2005

A transcript excerpt shows a dialogue about investigations involving the CIA, DOD, and related threats, highlighting ongoing controversies.

Fauci is such a saint. 👉🏻 'We discussed and provided 'White Papers" a) to justify our not agreeing to the renewal of the 1992 Bioweapons Convention [..]. b) justification for not destroying the smallpox stores [..]. c) Short and long range plans for countering an immediate or distant attack.'

When the CIA comes and rings on the door to get their mole into the Proximal Origin team. At that time, the overall objective was to get access to China. @RandPaul @JamieMetzl @SenTomCotton

Email excerpt mentioning concerns about a research site, notable individuals, and possible power loss, dated February 10, 2020.

Complete 🤡 show! Daszak (7 Sep 2021): Why is Jesse Bloom asking for data that we should have released? DO NOT RELEASE IT! Zhengli: Bloom is a conspiracist who says that China is not being transparent. Anyway, we will get our database back up once we have improved its security.

A correspondence about COVID-19 data requests, mentioning transparency concerns and plans to update scientific databases.
