Just like the former magazine, “Lies of our Times” used to say: All the News that Fits, We Print.
She has her dollar value in this article, the subject of which is NYT’s coverage of RFKj’s beleaguered defence of his health policy to a panel of Democrat, pharma funded senators.
This CHD account is a good acccount of the substance
Technically Kennedy could be thought the ‘winner’ as the attacks on him were of a purely adhom nature, based on assumptions that the CDC and the vaccine programme were previously the US people’s wonderful saviours.
Such coherent responses as he did manage to make are well summarised in the CHD article above.
But he unfailingly wasn’t given any time to respond to the questions, immediately being interrupted by more attacks. He lost his usual measured patience, and failed to highlight the rhetoric and deception in the questions. This could have altered the dynamic of the occasion.
The CHD page has a link to the whole 3hrs. I can’t recommend it for any purpose of information, but 10 mins or so will show the pattern of this concerted feral attack on the head of the HHS, with a view to forcing him out and restoring the honeypot to their backers.
Only Trump and MAHA now stands in the way of RFKj and the mob of phenators.
Round two of Vaccine Wars saw a different kind of spectacle yesterday. A pompous professor of infectious diseases who seemed to know nothing about covid vaccines was sent packing by three medically unqualified people who knew their stuff.
Dr Jake Scott is the propagandist du jour.
I recommend starting about 1 hour 55m (or you could start at about 2hrs.5m), until about 2hr 27m.
Dr/Professor Jake Scotts’s body language in the second half of this short segment is memorable - one for the connoisseurs - as he is made to look like an imposter by the rampant Senator Ron Johnson, whose performance and grasp of the salient material, as Meryll Nass observed, was indeed a tour de force.
I swear I heard Scott croaking “Please sir, M-may I go now, sir?”
In fact his main support, Pharma stalwart Senator Richard Blumenthal, did remember a previous appointment during this part of the senate hearing, leaving Scott on his own against the non-medics - so terribly unfair, as he may not have had the vaccine leaflets on him.
But the spectacle could not fair to cheer up the antis and campaigners no end.
I watched 25 minutes. Senator Johnson was clearly frustrated and angry. Jake Scott’s body language, the delay before he answered any question, and his almost apologetic “I don’t want to harm anybody” statement spoke volumes.
