Remember when Joe Rogan interviewed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and they spent some time on vaccines, and a "Dr. Peter R. Hotez" expressed his horror at this, but then when Rogan invited him to come on the show and debate RFK he gave every excuse in the book for why he couldn't do it?
There's a reason for this.
Their side is not used to being confronted. They're used to sitting in a bubble, sipping lattes with people who agree with them, and deploring how many people refuse to accept their stupid opinions without question.
If people like this ever do debate, it's against someone handpicked by a cable news channel, and who agrees with them on the fundamental premise of whatever the question is. They then "debate" their three-percent area of disagreement. (These outlets would never have a guest debate someone like me, it goes without saying.)
Now and again debates and confrontations like this do happen, and the result is nearly always disastrous for the bad guys.
For instance, our friend Scott Horton had an extraordinary opportunity to debate Bill Kristol, the neoconservative who has supported every catastrophic foreign intervention you can think of, and who, never learning a thing from any of it, always favors more.
Kristol must not have known who Scott was, because his decision to agree to the debate is otherwise inexplicable.
As you may know, Scott completely demolished Kristol. It was so bad that when Scott attempted to speak to Kristol for a brief moment afterward, Kristol snapped, "I don't owe you another minute of my time."
Well, we just had another example of this phenomenon. Kate Klonick is a law professor at St. John University, and she just debated Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford, at the Soho Forum on the following resolution:
"The making of national internet policy was hindered, rather than helped, by the July 4th federal court ruling that restricted the Biden administration's communications with social media platforms."
A bit convoluted, but in effect she was arguing in favor of the Biden Administration's efforts to suppress the speech of certain individuals (including Jay himself, who is a plaintiff in the famous Missouri v. Biden case).
The debate fit the usual pattern: Bhattacharya, the dissident, demolished Klonick, the voice of the establishment, even though the resolution involves a legal issue and Klonick is a law professor while Bhattacharya has no background in law at all. Bhattacharya was completely in command, and repeatedly had to correct Klonick.
The Soho Forum's debates are conducted in the Oxford style: the audience is polled both before and after the debate on their position on the resolution, and the winner is whichever side changed more minds in its favor.
Jay changed four times as many minds.
Klonick's performance was weak throughout. She repeatedly revealed, especially in the Q&A portion, how little she knew about the facts of Missouri v. Biden. Among other things, she didn't even know that the Biden Administration had ordered Facebook to shut down groups of vaccine-injured people who were trying to figure out what they should do. https://www.youtube.com/live/p-Eh_E_35Ew?si=4_GUjVF4TpffJJ9A
For me this is always a proverbial white pill: the bad guys are extremely unimpressive people, and cannot hold their own against us.
Even happier is that my folks in particular will be more impressive still once next year rolls around, because we're all doing this, and we'd like you in there with us:

The Cubic lattice appears to be the universal Paternal constant of mathematical construction of Maternal mass,
matter and ultimately, form.
"The Cube of Space is an occult concept that was invented by the prominent occultist Paul
Foster Case. The Cube of Space associates the three axes of the cube, the center point of the
cube, the six sides of the cube, and the twelve edges of the cube, with the 22 letters of the
hebrew alphabet. The Cube of Space is based upon two verses in the proto-kabbala text called the Sepher Yetzirah.

Today, we're diving deep into the findings of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report, a moderately comprehensive document that sheds light on the origins, missteps, and long-term implications of the pandemic response. While we find much to discuss—and critique—within its pages, this report is another crucial entry into the growing library of work highlighting the urgent need for accountability and reform.
Together, we'll explore its insights and use them to advocate for a future where overreach, mismanagement, and infringements on our fundamental rights are not tolerated. This conversation is vital to ensuring that the lessons of the past guide us toward a more just and resilient tomorrow.

No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse.
Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed.
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back.
Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. It implied that mail-in balloting must be the norm, which probably flipped the election. It delayed the reopening as long as possible. It was sadistic.
Even with all that, worse was planned. On July 26, 2020, with the ...
Congressmen Scalise and Comer, Members of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Steven Quay and I am honored to speak at this forum. I am a physician-scientist with over 360 publications on a wide range of topics in science and medicine. I have 87 issued patents in 22 different fields of medicine, including the chemistry of RNA drugs like the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. I have invented seven FDA-approved medicines that have been used by millions of people worldwide.

I appreciate the non-partisan approach the Subcommittee is taking today. Clearly, science in the last few years, but especially on topics related to the COVID pandemic, has been coopted by geopolitics. Thus, I am here, not as a mouthpiece for any political party, but as an American scientist.
I dedicate my testimony today to the more ...
