NBC News Spent Weeks Reporting On A Contributor’s Journey Battling Coronavirus – But He Never Had It (Dr. Joseph Fair)
Daily Caller ^ | July 10 2020 | Shelby Talcott

Posted on 07/11/2020 3:18:16 AM PDT by knighthawk

NBC News spent weeks documenting its science contributor’s battle with COVID-19, but now he admits that he never tested positive for it.

Dr. Joseph Fair, a virologist, believed he had the virus and appeared on air numerous times to discuss his struggle with illness in May and June. On Tuesday, Fair admitted that he tested negative for the virus multiple times but had originally believed he had it regardless. Fair also tested negative upon taking an antibody test.

“My undiagnosed/suspected COVID illness from nearly 2 months ago remains an undiagnosed mystery as a recent antibody test was negative,” Fair tweeted Tuesday. “I had myriad COVID symptoms, was hospitalized in a COVID ward & treated for COVID-related co-morbidities, despite testing negative by nasal swab.”

It would be funny if he now did get the virus for real. That makes NBC look foolish and complicit in the deception.

There is a name for people like Dr. Joseph Fair... It’s called Hypochondriac... There’s a name for NBC too... It’s called Fake News.

He had 10,000 symptoms? (Linguistic meaning of myriad)

Too innocent. Almost apologetic

Liar and fraud are more accurate.

It's not a mystery you simpleton. You didn't have it!

Why are these people so terrified of symptoms? Got a sniffle? Coronavirus! Sore throat after spending the whole day on conference calls? Coronavirus! Lost your sense of smell after attending a keg party at a lake bonfire? Coronavirus!

We are descending rapidly into a society that is afraid of its own shadow.

This is another example of criminal, information warfare by leftist media against the people of the United States.

I think his undiagnosed mystery was really just a way to make money. He’s a fraud. 8>)

How I felt after the typical Marcus Welby MD episode as an impressionable 70s kid.

Who threatened to go public with Dr. Fair's lie and forced NBC to come clean?

What is NBC to do now? Call him a liar? Blame the tests?

They're going to quadruple down with lies that this magical Wuhanic Plague can trick tests so everyone who's not a rioter (or a Democrat politician marching with them) should be forced to endure more restrictions.
