DASZAK, MORENS, FAUCI IN THE NEWS....

A British zoologist involved in risky bat coronavirus experiments in Wuhan is accused of plotting with a senior US health official to shut down the theory that Covid-19 leaked from a lab.

Dr Peter Daszak, the former president of EcoHealth Alliance, sent bottles of wine to David Morens, thanking him for his “behind the scenes shenanigans” and promising further gifts, such as dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, US court documents state.

REMINDER---8/21 CROTON SENIOR CLUB MEETING

Again---the meeting is at SENASQUA---EverythingCroton: 8/21 CROTON SENIOR CLUB MEETING

ETHICS ALARMS -- THAT MEDIAN STRATEGIES "EXPERIMENT"--JACK MARSHALL

 

This tears it for me, I think. I’m not paying attention to any polls from anyone or anywhere, ever.

I don’t know why anyone ever would, except, well, you know. Most people are stupid and gullible with flat learning curves, and our political parties and the news media depend on it.

A supposed polling organization called Median Strategies released a poll before the Wisconsin gubernatorial race that showed Democratic Socialist whack job Francesca Hong with a lead of more than 20 percentage points. Hong lost, and it wasn’t all that close either. Another Median Strategies poll this month showed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass leading City Councilwoman Nithya Raman by nearly 12 percentage points ahead of the November mayoral runoff. Bass was apparently ecstatic, declaring on social media, “Doing the work, showing up, and gaining momentum. Let’s do this, LA!”

On Monday, the company acknowledged on its website that it had produced the fake polls as a”short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification.”

Oh! That’s all right then! No, it’s not, and I don’t care what the alleged justification for releasing fake polls was. The incident proves one thing, and one thing only: we can’t trust polling organizations, we can’t trust polls, we can’t trust the news stories that cite polls (Trump’s support among Hispanics drops 50!” was a headline this week…I bet they polled illegal immigrants).....MORE AT The Median Strategies “Experiment” | Ethics Alarms
