Ralph welcomes Michael Mann, Professor in the “Department of Earth and Environmental Science” at the University of Pennsylvania and author along with Dr.
The problem with old fashion warriors whether they be young or old when they make a mistake today it can have bad and sometimes lethal conciquences. Take Pete blowing up drug boats on their way to make a delivery.
Let's assume and I am sure that many will think this would be impossible, the drug boat is two miles off the coast of Miami and hidden under the drugs on board is a 6.8 kilo nuclear bomb.
Peter does his thing and there goes Miami.
Do you think Pete and the Donald will get the Nobel Peace Prize ?
Steve asked about the discrepancy in deaths from Covid (14%) vs population (4%). Dr. Mann deflected the question by talking about current "anti-science" policies. He did not answer the question. The pandemic and deaths were from 2020-2024 not 2025. Ralph talked about corporate malfeasance that led to many deaths, but did not consider that corporate malfeasance from Pfizer and Moderna aided by the CDC and WHO might have led to many unnecessary deaths. The critical thinking of science requires that all be tested separately. Richard Feynman, the person that showed the world what caused the Challenger disaster, said with his typical dry humor, that "Sience is the belief in the ignorance of experts." RFK Jr. used real world statistics to bolster his position. Mann did not. View worldometer coronavirus.info to see how the universally deadly Covid-19 was not.
Interesting. You do know that Hotez was involved with the Wuhan lab where they were doing gain of function work on deadly viruses--a lab that had Chinese military ties and a record of biosafety issues--making viruses that were more transmissible and potentially more deadly.
In 2017, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Hotez a $6.1 million grant to develop a vaccine for SARS. The grant description included research to address concerns over accidental lab release of a virus, among other potential threats. A sub-grant to WIV collaborators: A scientific paper shows that Hotez's grant underwrote research on chimeric (combined) coronaviruses, and the funding was passed on to researchers who collaborated with WIV scientist Zhengli Shi. This project created a recombinant virus called "rWIV1-SHC014S," which combined elements of different SARS-related coronaviruses. Conflict of interest allegations: The controversy centers on whether Hotez and his institutions should have disclosed this indirect funding, especially while Hotez publicly dismissed the lab-leak theory as a fringe conspiracy. For instance, Jeffrey Sachs, who chaired the Lancet COVID-19 Commission where Hotez served, stated that Hotez "strongly rejected" the lab-leak possibility but never disclosed his grant's connection to the kind of research that could have led to such an event.
So maybe this sort of research and potential lab leaks or use as a weapon should be included in a category of major threats along with their other list--a little convenient for them to forget gain of function work in dodgy labs as an existential threat since a potential lab leaked virus may have killed 20 million people. And scientists with ego and lack of accountability like Hotez could end up killing millions of us..

Sorry , I hope I didn't spoil your day.
Good luck America have a great day my friends.
War criminal Trump running Gaza? What a joke.

The human species has become pandemic. Earth has many options for correcting this imbalance, and we are accelerating the process.
I think you've been watching the Andromeda Strain one too many times.
