    And true to life, once sickness envelops her, HR will kick her to the curb.

    I don’t know anything at all about the Fauci situation, except that real or imagined that whole kerfuffle will have horrible ramifications for years to come. And now the Harvard president being discovered to have committed literal plagiarism aka fraud… in the latter case at least, stop proving the Alt-Right actually correct!:-(

    It’s going to embolden their supporters who are tired, busy, some maybe single parents, many of whom lack any kind of degree and especially a graduate one, all the more so in a related field, so then when they DO manage to dig deeper into a situation like the president’s academic dishonesty, they will feel vindicated and trust those who told them that story in other situations as well.

    Fortunately there are efforts such as this amazing anti-anti-vaccine video, but still it’s hard to fight each new aspect of misinformation as it comes along, especially when the Alt-Right manages to work in such a “victory”

        The facts are super complicated. For one thing, supposedly the author herself wrote to the journal after-the-fact acknowledging her error. Whether she forgot the quote marks and citation part initially or what, she was not careful in such matters. Also she only had like four papers? It seems like there is smoke there, I am saying, regardless of whether or not there is an actual fire, hence perhaps not solely a political hit.

        Edit: to anyone who wants to down-vote this, feel free, though you’d have a better chance at changing my mind if you leave a comment with a link for me something to read? Otherwise, I have read at least a little about this - have you? If you are interested in a real discussion rather than reinforcing your preferred set of facts inside of a mere echo chamber, let me know…
