Fauci email dump includes 'sick'
March Madness-style virus bracket
Posted By: Ribicon, 6/5/2021 11:33:11 AM
The Dr. Anthony Fauci email dump includes a puzzling image—a March Madness-style tournament bracket of fatal diseases, in which coronavirus emerges as champion. The image is titled “Dr. Fauci’s March Madness Bracketology Picks.” It is dated March 11, 2020, and signed “—Tony F.” In the morbid pool, coronavirus—top-seeded out of the East region—defeats a field that included such dreaded diseases as Ebola, H1N1, Zika, herpes, and measles. Whether it was a weak attempt at gallows humor among Fauci and his friends, or a published cartoon being forwarded around, isn’t clear. But the image did generate shock on social media.

The former head of the Food and Drug Administration, Scott Gottlieb, has said Dr. Anthony Fauci told world leaders in the spring of 2020 that the coronavirus may have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. U.S. researchers around that time still were considering whether the virus came from a lab break, and Fauci told the health leaders gathered that the newly identified strain of the coronavirus 'looked unusual,' according to Gottlieb.(Snip)
Meanwhile, Gottlieb concluded by saying that it was a mistake to only look at the virus from a scientific perspective: It also needs to be examined from a national security lens, he said.
“Damning” science strongly suggests that COVID-19 is a man-made monster, optimized in a lab for maximum infectivity before hitting the outside to catastrophic effect, two experts said Sunday. Writing in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Steven Quay and Richard Muller pointed to two key pieces of evidence to support the claim, which has increasingly gained steam after long being derided as little more than speculation.(Snip) The pair noted that the double CGG sequence has never been found naturally among the entire group of coronaviruses that includes CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. But, in what Quay and Muller called
Atlanta—Atlanta police released the identity of a suspect they believe shot at joggers in Buckhead, wounding one, on Saturday before pinning a pedestrian between his car and a truck a few hours later. Police said 22-year-old Gaelen Newsom is the suspect in the two apparently connected crimes. He's currently facing criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He's currently in Fulton County Jail.(Snip) Resident Michael King said he called 911. He later went outside to find the wounded man.
"You just don't expect something like this in this neighborhood," he said.
Adversaries to the US are capable of shutting down the nation’s electrical grid, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted Sunday, saying that such cybersecurity attacks are “happening all the time.” Granholm warned of the system’s vulnerabilities—amid an uptick of ransomware sieges—on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Yeah, they do,” Granholm told host Jake Tapper when asked if foreign actors have the ability to make the power grid go dark. “There are very malign actors who are trying, even as we speak,” she explained. “There are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally.”
Jared Kushner is stepping back from politics and trying to establish a 'simpler' relationship with father-in-law Donald Trump, a Saturday report revealed. The former senior adviser to Trump told a small circle of advisers around the former president, according to The New York Times, that he wants to focus on writing his book. Those people told the Times that Kushner wants to end his professional relationship with Trump and instead just be his son-in-law.(Snip) Previously Kushner was viewed as the most politically involved family member with his role in the administration and campaign, but the former president's eldest son Donald Trump Jr.
The coronavirus death toll in a California county has been cut by 25 percent—after officials found that some fatalities were not a “direct result” of the virus. Alameda County on Friday issued a corrected death toll that puts the total number of fatalities at 1,223, significantly down from its previous count of 1,634. “Alameda County previously included any person who died while infected with the virus in the total COVID-19 deaths for the County,” health officials said in a statement. “Aligning with the State’s definition will require Alameda County to report as COVID-19 deaths only those people who died as a direct result
Miami—Three people are dead and at least six others injured following a shooting at a Florida graduation party, the latest in a string of such violence in the Miami area, police said Sunday. One of those killed was a state corrections officer, Miami-Dade police Director Freddie Ramirez told news outlets. He said the party at a strip mall lounge was ending when one or more vehicles “pulled up and began to fire into the crowd.”(Snip) Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said she was “horrified” by this latest shooting. “We will not allow a small group of violent actors to terrorize our community,
Black Lives Matter protesters took to the streets in Minneapolis for a third straight night over the death of a Black man who was shot and killed after firing at officers who sought to take him into custody for a felony firearms violation. Demonstrators blocked streets Saturday night in the Uptown neighborhood where the shooting occurred following a Friday candlelight vigil that spiraled into unrest, resulting in Minneapolis police making 27 arrests on rioting and weapons charges, according to media outlets.(Snip) The Uptown Association reported that several businesses, including a CVS, Walgreens and T-Mobile store, were looted and vandalized in the Thursday night unrest,
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp drew boos and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was formally censured at the state's GOP convention Saturday for what critics say were their roles in former President Donald Trump's loss in the pivotal state last November. Kemp has been criticized by the former president and his supporters for his certification of the state's election results that favored Joe Biden, while Raffensperger was chastised for his allowing the use of absentee ballots this past election, which backers of Trump's stolen election claim say allowed for widespread voter fraud.(Snip) The jeers drowned out Kemp's speech for about 30 seconds
Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, says the latest round of conservative attacks against him are "nonsense" attacks on science. The doctor appeared on Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC to discuss a trove of emails of his that were obtained by BuzzFeed News and The Washington Post that are at the heart of the recent criticisms. "Dr Fauci is the subject—in a negative way—of every hour on Fox News prime time now, where they think he can somehow be blamed for causing Covid or something, since he's the country's lead scientist on it. Or maybe he's a secret Chinese communist.
The Nigerian government announced Friday it had indefinitely suspended Twitter’s operations in the West African country—but drew mockery for posting its statement about the ban on Twitter. Minister for Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said that the country had “suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria.” The statement, posted on the ministry’s official Twitter account, cited “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.”
The suspension came two days after the social media giant deleted a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists.

University graduates have designed a women's urinal they claim is six times more efficient than the traditional lockable toilet. Amber Robyn and Hazel McShane, who graduated from the University of Bristol last year, designed the hands-free Peequal when they were asked to solve a 'real life problem' for their masters project.(Snip) Not wasting time on opening and closing doors and cleaning toilet seats, or laying toilet paper out over the seat, are also ways the design improves efficiency.

Late Friday the British publication DailyMail reported that the United States Department of Defense provided $39 million in grant funding to “EcoHealth Alliance” as part of the aggregated grant funding received by EcoHealth Alliance to conduct various types of “gain of function” virus research – a type of research in which scientists engineer viruses to make them more transmissible or lethal and which can be used to create bioweapons.
EcoHealth Alliance used a large amount of its funding to support research projects on the subject at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, led by Chinese “bat virus” expert Dr. Shi Zenglhi — the “Bat Lady.”

A 21-year-old Amazon delivery woman viciously beat another woman, 67, who had called her a bi**ch after the San Francisco-area driver told her to 'check her white privilege' when she'd complained about a delayed package. Itzel Ramirez, the Amazon driver, was arrested after she was filmed assaulting the woman in Alameda County, the sheriff’s office said on Friday.(Snip) ‘I believe the Amazon driver said something about “your white privilege,” and my tenant said, “You don’t need to be a b***h about it,” turned around and walked away,’ Smith told KTVU-TV. Ramirez was so enraged that she began punching

The recent campaign launch by a Bush family scion has upended their longstanding unity, causing heartbreak behind the scenes and even a rare public rebuke from a longtime Bush loyalist. The Bushes have long been known for their conservative politics and loyalty to their inner circle. Political consultants and advisers for former President George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush often worked with them for a decade or more, remaining in close contact years after the time in elected office had come to an end. George P. Bush, Jeb’s son, was elected as

President Joe Biden told new graduates that systemic racism is one of the 'greatest crises of our time' and said it was an 'inflection point' similar to the Vietnam War. Biden's brief video message to graduates was released by the White House under his @POTUS address as the coronavirus pandemic has put a dent in commencement ceremonies. Comparing today's students to those who graduated during the era of the civil rights and anti-war protest movements, Biden encouraged them to seize the moment to tackle climate change and systemic racism which he described as one of 'the great crises of our time'.
Former President Obama criticized voting laws being passed by Republicans across the country, saying that such changes to the voting system is "rigging the game."
He said during an Economic Club of Chicago event Friday about the new election integrity law in Georgia:
That's the kind of dangerous behavior that we're going to have to push back on.
Obama suggested that urban areas will face more barriers in order to vote, alleging that the law made a "different set of rules for how votes are counted in Atlanta versus how they're counted in the rest of Georgia."

For many teachers across the country, the stress of managing their own health concerns during the pandemic, juggling classroom and online education and trying to maintain a connection with students has brought them to a breaking point. A January survey by RAND Corporation found that because of pandemic-related anxieties, one-quarter of U.S. teachers plan to leave the profession by the end of the year. “One of the most consistent narratives you’ve probably heard over the past year is [that] teachers who are stuck in these hybrid situations feel like they’re doing justice neither to the students who are in the
