Stanford, the same whose “professors” moved in unison to condemn Atlas, Battacharya, Ionnidas, and the rest? The truth is that, like the medical profession and its doctors, universities and its professors are pending disposal for their horrific behavior during Covid. They still take billions from our government every year to promote nonsense like climate change, DEI, wars, and the like. No one should send their children to such places.

I’ve owned pets smarter than these morons.

This is a great start. But this problem is not simply due to honest differences of opinion. In this case one side has a MASSIVE vested interest in the general public NOT knowing how much money they made and will make, and how many laws they broke and will continue to break, and how many promotions they made and will make should their policies continue. The other side has no financial vested interest, just a personal interest in freedom/liberty/honesty. It's a David and Goliath scenario.

What a crap mea culpa effort by Stanford. They LED the world into believing lies and deceptions, all to cover their butts in obeisance to maintaining their suck up to the federal NIH tit. Academia hasn't changed one bit. They just want everyone to believe they're still the bastions of science and know what's best for everyone. This fool me twice charade won't change public's opinion now, and good riddance. I've worked in biomedical academic administration for over 20 years and knew from the onset that public health common sense was being disregarded from the get go.

Bingo. Mistakes were not inevitable. It wasn't an unprecedented crisis in nature. All of the plans were there. A century of research, studies, science - real science - with billions of dollars of money spent by government and academia alike to meet the next pandemic. ALL of which was scuttled right out of the gate. Discarded, ignored, declared dangerous dis/misinformation. Anyone who dared refer to it was deplatformed, fired, lost their licenses and memberships of any professional clubs they belonged to. For saying they were doing it all wrong, contradicting the century of research and billions of dollars spent on preparation.

No, mistakes were not inevitable. The only thing unprecedented wasn't nature - we/they understood nature plenty well. It was their response to it that made it a crisis. How is it possible to have a dialogue with lying liars who begin and end their remarks with lies?

Justin, It's in the title so worth mentioning. Please spell "amends" properly! Don't want to detract from the content.

As well as the last name of the President of Stanford. See Kudos line...

Laudable on the surface, however does not recognize, nevermind admit and accept responsibility for the naked coercion then, nor remedy for the future.

The only effective restraint for these coercionists and their ilk is certainty of retribution. Not dialogue.

Apologies by the control freaks are needed. I will never respect them until that happens. They can go pound sand.

Gotta shout out to the Stanford Internet Observatory and their collaboration with the Election Integrity Project as documented in Missouri v Biden (Murthy v Missouri) in censoring public policy debates

Bravo that Stanford provides the videos to the public. It was quite shameful, their past censorship and criticism of Dr. Bhattacharya.
