And this pathetic move by @JDVance1 isn't what is so odious about him. He's just a phony, all ambition, no real interest in public service. He made a big show out of moving back to #Ohio to start a group to work on the #opioid epidemic. 1/

I work on the opioids, on research on the epidemic, its relationship with HIV/HCV, overdose. I work with data from Ohio, so care deeply about what is going on there. I was excited. Until I started digging. There's no there there. 2/ https://t.co/n54j1VVisq
More here. 3/ https://t.co/v4BA6wLKac
You can even read their IRS-990-N filing. Sure looks like @JDVance1 tried real hard on combatting the opioid epidemic in his state. Um. Not. 4/ https://t.co/Z2Y8hataaR
Now he's moved on to venture capital. Money is more interesting than the suffering of the people of #Ohio I guess. 5/ https://t.co/V4s8eSiD02
Yes, he'll say, I'm driving investment into #Ohio. Yeah, all while pulling in a great salary as you sign up with the party of tax cuts and slashing of public investment in the fate of the most vulnerable in this country. So spare me. 6/
So, he trashes #NYC, trading in racist dog whistles, pretends to care about the opioid epidemic in #Ohio, uses his @YaleLawSch degrees to climb the ladder of power, which is mostly meant for his own advancement, not that of communities he came from. 7/
Hillbilly Elegy my ass. This guy is a grifter, turned his back on the opioid epidemic when a better offer came along. Decided that he'd embrace Trump, because that's what wins elections now, even though he criticized the man in 2016. 8/ https://t.co/D7ZaD29Yy8
And he thinks he's smarter than the rest of us, than the people of Ohio, who are supposed to lap up his nastiness about NYC and the people who live there like catnip. I have more faith in people than Ohio than he does. And I'll keep on working on the opioid epidemic there. 9/
I'm trying to figure out what's needed there. Most people who live outside of cities in the state have little access to opioid treatment. How about working on that @JDVance1? There is rural treatment gap. A big one. 10/ https://t.co/m91L2Lmw57
And we're trying to figure out more about the patterns of overdose in Cincinnati to help guide efforts to save lives. 11/ https://t.co/rKyIw9xRec
Even doing some #COVID19 work in Columbus. 12/ https://t.co/C3UXulNBdb
So, go ahead @JDVance1 with your Senate run. But the people of Ohio and this country should know who you are. We see your kind pass through @Yale all the time, who get a taste for power and privilege no matter where they came from, morph into balls of white-hot ambition. 13/
Others come through here and want to do good and try to use what they've learned here to do just that. But we know your kind. You're a dime-a-dozen here. Ruthless. Ambitious. Cynical. Grasping. Selfish to the core. end/

I think @SamAdlerBell in his quest to be the contrarian on Fauci gets several things wrong here. 1/


First, the failure last year actually was driven by the White House, the #Trump inner circle. Watch what's happening now, the US' scientific and public health infrastructure is creaking back to life. 2/

I think Sam underestimates the decimation of many of our health agencies over the past four years and the establishment of ideological control over them during the pandemic. 3/

I also am puzzled why Tony gets the blame for not speaking up, etc. Robert Redfield, Brett Giroir, Deb Birx, Jerome Adams, Alex Azar all could have done the same. 4/

Several of these people Bob Redfield, Brett Giroir, Alex Azar were led by craven ambition, Jerome Adams by cowardice, but I do think Deb Birx and Tony tried as institutionalists, insiders to make a difference. 5/
Important tweet from @jaketapper. One amendment: mainstream media will try to change the subject too. It's not a new criticism, the deferential spirit among the political press corps has been noted since Didion wrote about it in the 1990s.


"Those who talk to Mr. Woodward, in other words, can be confident that he will be civil (“I too was growing tired, and it seemed time to stand up and thank him”), that he will not feel impelled to make connections between..." 1/

"what he is told and what is already known that he will treat even the most patently self-serving account as if untainted by hindsight..." 2/

"In this business of running the story, in fact in the business of news itself, certain conventions are seen as beyond debate. “Opinion” will be so labeled, and confined to the op-ed page or the Sunday-morning shows." 3/

"'News analysis' will be so labeled, and will appear in a subordinate position to the 'news' story it accompanies. In the rest of the paper as on the evening news, the story will be reported “'impartially,' the story will be 'even-handed,' the story will be 'fair.'” 4/

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Хајде да направимо мали осврт на случај Мика Алексић .

Алексић је жртва енглеске освете преко Оливере Иванчић .
Мика је одбио да снима филм о блаћењу Срба и мењању историје Срба , иза целокупног пројекта стоји дипломатски кор Британаца у Београду и Оливера Иванчић


Оливера Илинчић је иначе мајка једне од његових ученица .
Која је претила да ће се осветити .

Мика се налази у притвору због наводних оптужби глумице Милене Радуловић да ју је наводно силовао човек од 70 година , са три бајпаса и извађеном простатом пре пет година

Иста персона је и обезбедила финансије за филм преко Беча а филм је требао да се бави животом Десанке Максимовић .
А сетите се и ко је иницирао да се Десанка Максимовић избаци из уџбеника и школства у Србији .

И тако уместо романсиране верзије Десанке Максимовић утицај Британаца

У Србији стави на пиједестал и да се Британци у Србији позитивно афирмишу како би се на тај начин усмерила будућност али и мењао ток историје .
Зато Мика са гнушањем и поносно одбија да снима такав филм тада и почиње хајка и претње која потиче из британских дипломатских кругова

Најгоре од свега што је то Мика Алексић изговорио у присуству високих дипломатских представника , а одговор је био да се све неће на томе завршити и да ће га то скупо коштати .
Нашта им је Мика рекао да је он свој живот проживео и да могу да му раде шта хоће и силно их извређао
