Doesn't the US waterboard people when they really want answers?

There is so much to comment on, but to keep it simple, I will just make these points:

(1) The vast majority of people who both suppressed discussion of the lab origin and promoted the clearly unsupportable assertion that COVID was zoonotic: the vast majority of them either have a vested interest in either self protection from responsibility or continuing doing dangerous virology. (The exact name of “dangerous virology” is a distraction - a smoke screen.)

(2) David - we (my son Dan Sirotkin and I) communicated through Brad’s office to the subcommittee as we were the first to both, in a whitepaper, outline the evidence that COVID came from the Wuhan lab, as well as, the first to publish in a peer reviewed scientific article the details techniques likely used in the Wuhan lab to generate COVID yet Brad or his office did not either acknowledge the usefulness of our input or follow up with us. Since you have access to Brad, can you confirm he received it and why the resounding silence occurred?

As I subscribed, you can email me if you are interested in those communications or any other follow up with us.

Hey David, thanks so much for taking the time to dig into the origins of the virus - back in January 2020 my childhood friend Jason Shell was the NSC's Director of National Intelligence Programs, and got the original whitepaper about Ralph Baric and the WIV's work engineering viruses I published in front of the NSC.

This lead to William J. Broad of the NY Times emailing me about the White House's interest, however he quickly stopped responding, even after the paper I wrote with my dad about past cover-ups of escaped pathogens and this virus being engineered via the gain-of-function research method called "serial passage" passed peer-review and was published in August 2020:

My father and I have reached out to Rep. Wenstrup's office multiple times but have never gotten a response, it would be great if you could help us connect and respond to our outreach:

Such a great interview David! Excellent job. I hope that some of your questions will filter through the congressmen and will make their way to Fauci directly. Wish you were grilling Fauci yourself. Really nice work.

This is not responding to the interview with Wenstrup, but I'd like to see Fauci questioned in depth about whether he solicited input from places that weren't doing aggressive lockdowns. Not just Sweden, states like Nebraska, Georgia, Iowa. Anders Tegnell said Sweden had covid models that "forecasted much smaller number of hospitalizations" than the U.S., U.K., etc. Why didn't we learn from the errancy of our models?

Your interview was great. I loved your enthusiasm and truly hope he will ask the questions you forwarded in the interview. Keep it up!

Thanks David. Fauci should be leaving those hearings in cuffs. A pretty much all there is to it.
