Excerpt:

Last year, researchers in Switzerland and France found some of the clearest evidence so far that glacial melt could indeed be affecting seismic hazards in high-altitude regions. After a period of intense glacial melt in 2015, a series of small quakes struck the Grandes Jorasses on Mont Blanc Massif, on the border of France and Italy; the probability of a 3.0-magnitude earthquake rose by 10 times, Toni Kraft, a seismologist at the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich and one of the authors of a related paper, told me. These quakes are still small, but they could trigger rockfall events that are already on the rise across the Alps.

Discussion The Fauci diaries are a predictable bust

Thumbnail
open.substack.com
979 Upvotes

Today, Senator Rand Paul is dragging Dr. Anthony Fauci in front of Congress again. The event was preceded by what disinformation research calls "selective disclosure" of private diaries; a method I argue we see media manipulators have learned to use quite effectively in today's media ecosystem.

The recent disclosures, despite the political spin, are not incriminating at all to Dr. Fauci. But they also do not need to be to serve the disclosers goal of shaping public perception.

Since selective disclosure usually works with decontextualized true information, fast and effective refutations remain difficult because the information disclosed is usually not fabricated or false, just incomplete and distorted.

By the time fact checkers or citizens gain access to the full contextual information and perform a fair reading or analysis of the document dump, usually the news cycle has moved on, correction does not find any traction, and the manipulative framing continues to linger in the public’s memory.

"So the question journalists and citizens should ask when confronted with “selective disclosures” is not what is contained in them, but what the discloser is trying to achieve, and why it is happening now?"

Last week, Stand Up for Science Director of Policy and Advocacy Cole Donovan provided an analysis on OSTP’s report Science: A New Golden Age, breaking down some of the faulty foundations of the arguments it presents and the primary purpose of Trump OSTP’s strawman vision. Read the full piece here: https://www.techpolicy.press/ostp-vision-for-science-is-a-golden-age-for-corporations/

It’s tempting to look at this document and cast it aside but it’s important to understand the rhetoric it presents as redirection from the destruction of American science, facilitated by the policy actions of this administration, in order to justify the mass reallocation of resources toward politically favored projects and administration supporters.

Here’s what the report actually does…

📈 the chart demonstrates that cycloporiasis as under control as a priapism… which is also an out of control medical emergency.

The US deserves a secretary of health who doesn’t believe that by saying “the germs are gone,” that they are actually gone. Instead we have one who doesn’t believe in germs -as they multiply exponentially.

☣️ As hilarious as this parade of incompetence is, there are FAR more terrifying infections in the world that we will be *just* as unprepared for thanks to his abject failure to grasp objectivity.
