Earlier today, Apoorva Mandavilli, the New York Times’ go-to journaler of Covid “science,” published a real masterpiece of agitprop titled The Coronavirus May Spread From Corpses, Scientists Report.
Alex makes a lot of other mistakes, being a contrarian for reasons I don't understand, a personality quirk/disorder. He has a big measure of narcissism, which goes with nearly uncontrollable underlying insecurity, though unlike most narcissists, he is quite functional. His novels were great, he has done some other excellent work.
I opted out of paid subscription with his attack on Malone on national TV, really stupid, hubris.
His refusal to even read effectiveness of HCQ, etc. and he won't explain with hard facts his position - because he cannot. He hasn't invested effort to be familiar with the literature, etc. except to parrot some narrative sound bites.
Narcissists insist on being superior, and unique. They are the most difficult to engage in any CBT. Accountability and honest introspection are existential threats for them, so they won't do it. My observation is that it they will not, rather than cannot.
Agree with all you say. Nevertheless, the fact that he has a large following, and probably many left leaning folks might trust him, that’s a big win on the side of truth.
Indeed, I had know that as well about him. Very sketchy. And he still doubles down on that stuff occasionally as well, albeit not as much as before. It really wouldn't shock me if he turned out to be controlled opposition.
Someone needs to apprise Apoorva that the spring 2020 mortality event is a global outlier that raises numerous questions about whether hospital protocols killed thousands of people.
Take a look at historical rates of antibiotic use in 2015-2019 for bacterial pneumonia and then examine the massive reduction of various antibiotics utilized in 2020 (and beyond).
It was not only mandated that there would be certain lethal protocols used for the invented "disease" called "Covid" but it also mandated that specific long utilized medications were to be withheld.
This pattern and the mandated protocols was the same throughout the West.
"Covid" is pure fiction Jessica, there is no such disease. There is no "lab leak"- there is no "China virus"- it is all fraud.
Everyone must stop reifying the Big Lie that "Covid" exists outside of the propaganda and as a plan to kickstart the demolition of Western economies and installation of an entirely totalitarian digitized system.
Anyone and everyone eddying around in the belief that "Covid" is a real disease and not a multi-pronged operation needs to get off that merry-go-round and quick. Time's up.
And they killed tens of thousands (hundreds probably) of elderly people in March/April 2020 who had bacterial pneumonia- this was done intentionally and planned out in 2019. None of these deaths were caused by a viral event- not one.
I subscribe to the Epoch Times, too. And the WaPo, for comic relief, and they won't let you quit - they offered me $1 per month, so I stayed. WaPo doesn't provide email addresses either.
The NY Times did not list an email address for the author, but they did provide her Twitter account, I don't participate in corporate social media but it should be possible to post feedback there if you have an account
Since we're here cataloging the shameless dishonesty of the NYT's Apoorva Mandavilli, let's not forget her greatest hit:
“Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not today.".
So according to the paper of record, a laboratory leak of a virus: RACIST; but a global pandemic created because the Chinese love to eat fried bats and pangolin: NOT RACIST.
These people rely so much on hitting their opponents with promiscuous bigotry accusations (for them it is like a skeleton key or Swiss Army knife, always there for any emergency need) that they can't help themselves, even when it makes them look like desperate liars.
How in the world did she win a prize for excellence in medical science reporting? Must we automatically distrust, even disbelieve the New Yrk Times? Why not?
Check out Del Bigtree’s The Highwire episode today for another New York Times Covid blunder. Rather incredibly, the Times article supported new masking citing strong science in favor—and then linked to a study that failed to reach statistical significance backing that conclusion. Naturally other more robust data arguing against masking were ignored.
Scientists say that COVID-19 can manipulate time and space. COVID-19 can travel back in time, and infect you in the past, making you sick in the present!
The point is that the media's "corrections" are never actually read. And the New York Times knows this. That's why they ALWAYS lie up front. Because that's what everyone remembers. This is also how propaganda works.
They expect you to believe that around 162,000 a year die from Flu related illnesses, but 900,000 died from COVID, which has nearly the same infection fatality rate? That would mean (5) times more people died from COVID.
There are only two possibilities. The CDC numbers for Flu related illness deaths are completely wrong, or the COVID death numbers are completely wrong.
Nobody was being paid to claim that a patient died of the Flu, but they WERE PAID if a patient died of COVID.
Third option is folks who had pneumonia or flu that were denied medical treatments if worthless PCR said they had Covid health authorities sent them home with no medical care or drugs & instructions to come back when they can't breathe & can be put in ICU beds, vented with renal failure all star Remdesivir. Imagine no Rx at all in our prescription saturated culture.. genocide!
Do you think anyone reads that rag anymore? I am surprised they are still in business. But they probably get lots of money from their 'sponsors' and 'advertizers'
Is she one of Klaus' mob, or in receipt of Gates' largesse? The increase in such articles mentioning Ebola raises the suspicion that the public may be being subtly prepared for Billy's "next pandemic" to which he has notoriously alluded.
There once was a certain guy named Alex Berenson, who was NY Times science reporter, who did not make such stupid mistakes.
But NY Times let him go due to vaccine skepticism and replaced Alex with Apoorva.
Alex is now making many times his NY Times salary

I agree and I personally do NOT agree with Alex on everything!!!
I will never forget how great Ivermectin worked for my wife a year ago
Have you read Walter Chesnut's new Substack?

P.S. I follow your precious PUPPY on Totally Cancelled!

Before his current Covid shtick Berenson was a Reefer Madness professional liar - cannabis science denier. FWIW I don't trust him.
Indeed, I had know that as well about him. Very sketchy. And he still doubles down on that stuff occasionally as well, albeit not as much as before. It really wouldn't shock me if he turned out to be controlled opposition.
He should go back to writing spy novels.
Indeed, those were quite good. I'm bummed he hasn't written any more.
Weird how the top-earning COVID substack belongs to such a sketchy guy. Or maybe not. A lot of his posts are red meat.
Indeed
Ain't no mistakes here.

Exactly.
BINGO

It's all lies.
It is certainly suspicious and implies that antibiotics seem to have been be deliberately withheld
Comments are not available on the article but I sent my comment to the NY Times corrections dept....
> This article states that the Covid-19 fatality rate is 3% of infected patients, the actual IFR has been established at .15%, not 3%.
>>Thank you for contacting The New York Times. We appreciate readers who share their feedback and help us report thoroughly and accurately.
You have written to the corrections department, and your message will reach the appropriate editor or reporter promptly.
The WSJ provides the email address of the reporters for all articles. The reporters actually reply. What a concept!!!
Wow! Epoch Times, to my great disappointment does not.

Maybe they meant the vaxx fatality rate.
that sounds more like it
Wouldn't that be a Freudian slip!

Thanks for this history. I still have a few friends and family who have not canceled their New York Times subscriptions…

I think it's pretty clear what went on here...

You're 100% correct! I pointed this out as well.

Mandavilli appears to be suffering from delusions of relevancy.
Trying to prevent the truth from being discovered through autopsies.
I thought the fatality rate - IFR or CFR - was established to be around .15% for Covid-19, not 1% or 3%
It is. And now it is even lower still for Omicron and its progeny.
Never heard of her for the past three years. Why would anyone take their medical advice from a newspaper reporter? Can’t understand that. 🤡🌏
The NYT is using 3% because it's likely close to the vaxx fatality rate.
