MALE TV REPORTER: Tonight while Governor [of California] Newsom is telling all of us to have Thanksgiving dinner outside, he's facing some new fallout for that fancy birthday dinner party he went to at the French Laundry.[1]

[cut]

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: It was in Napa which is the orange status, relatively loose compared to some other counties. Ah, it was to be an outdoor ah, ah, restaurant.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: And I let my guard down, and I apologize for it.

[cut]

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: I can't make this any clearer. You absolutely must stay at home. We will cite you. And of we need to we will arrest you and we will take you to jail. Period. There should be nothing unambiguous about that.

[cut]

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I guess you would all imagine that a lot of people were surprised when she made a trip to the hair salon.

[cut]

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: I take my personal hygiene very seriously. As I said, I felt like I needed to um, have a haircut.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI: It was a set up. So I take responsibility for falling for a setup. And that's all I'm going to say on that. [cut] I think that they owe, that the salon owes me an apology.

UK PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON: That I myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government I lead had introduced to protect the public—

[cut]

CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU: Let's put into practice what it truly means to love our neighbors as ourselves by making sacrifices to protect their health. Let's stay home for them.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Not long after recording the video you just saw, Trudeau left the capital and traveled all the way to Quebec to visit his family at their lake house. Just like you'd want to do on Easter, if you were allowed to do that. But you're not allowed. So stop complaining.

[cut]

VOICE OF MALE TV REPORTER: Former president tweeted: "It might be Labor Day weekend, but let's all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It'll save lives."

[cut]

ROD MELONI: Well, you know, the governor spent a lot of time asking Michiganers not to go on spring break, particularly in Florida. It took the governor's office a couple of months to confirm it, but she indeed flew from Lansing to West Palm Beach in a private jet on March 12th, spent the weekend with her father, and headed back to Lansing on March 15th.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Again and again they do the very things they punish us for doing. When they're caught, they acknowledge no shame. They are entirely lacking in self-awareness. They have no idea how absurd they are.

On November 20, 2022, 85% of Stanford University’s Faculty Senate voted to condemn Dr. Scott Atlas, a former chief of radiology at the Stanford University Medical Center who was serving on President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force. The Stanford faculty pilloried Atlas for questioning the efficacy of state-enforced lockdowns, face masks, and social distancing protocols, even arguing that his claims were “anathema to our community, our values and our belief that we should use knowledge for good.” A few weeks after the Faculty Senate rendered its verdict, the Academic Advisory Board of the University of California’s National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement held a meeting in which its members questioned whether Atlas’ COVID-19 pronouncements were protected by academic freedom.

....

Why did the Stanford Faculty Senate and the National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement feel the need to castigate Atlas? In the years since the pandemic, experts have acknowledged both the negligible effects of the lockdowns on mortality rates and the deleterious effects of COVID-19 policy on childhood development. Given everything we know now, was Atlas’ perspective really deserving of institutional rebuke?

I saw Dr. Atlas speak in person a year ago. He was very clear and impressive.
