Is Science Dead?
Steve Kirsch's Newsletter ^ | 02/26/22 | Steve Kirsch

Posted on 02/26/2022 5:37:03 AM PST by Enlightened1

I think so. I asked to give a talk about COVID at MIT, but they couldn't find a faculty member to sponsor it. Apparently they don't allow viewpoints that challenge the mainstream narrative.

Twenty four years ago (in 1998), I donated $2.5M to MIT. They named the auditorium in the EECS building named in my honor: the Kirsch Auditorium, Room 32-123.

Kai von Fintel on Twitter: "The audience for Paul Kiparsky's keynote at  #NELS50 is gathering. https://t.co/4Iaa8JXj4P" / Twitter

I’ve never asked to speak in the auditorium until now.

I wanted to give a talk at MIT about what the science is telling us about the COVID vaccines and mask wearing and how science is being censored.

I also wanted an opportunity to defend myself against unfair accusations made in MIT’s Tech Review accusing me of being a “misinformation superspreader.”

Am I a misinformation superspreader? Or is MIT one by publishing their article?

Read my rebuttal and decide for yourself who is telling the truth. There were 652 comments, nearly all of them suggesting I sue MIT for defamation.

They couldn’t find a member of the MIT faculty who was willing to sponsor me to give a talk that would examine the possibility that MIT made a serious mistake that jeopardizes the lives of students, staff, and faculty

MIT requires a faculty sponsor for all talks and they said they couldn’t find one willing to sponsor my talk.

Therefore, students will not have the opportunity to consider that there may be an alternate hypothesis that better fits the evidence on the table.

I had always believed that MIT was above politics, but it is clear I was mistaken in that belief.

Science is about objectively looking at the data and making hypotheses that fit the data

My claim is important and relevant to everyone at MIT. I claim that MIT made a serious mistake in mandating vaccines for students, staff, and faculty.

As Robert Malone has often said, “where there is risk, there must be choice.” The evidence couldn’t be more clear that the COVID vaccines are the most deadly vaccines in human history.

Shouldn’t this be a topic of great interest and relevance?

Or does science dictate that anyone with opposing views must be silenced and not given a platform to speak?

I have a message to the MIT faculty: you are on the wrong side of history.

There is ample evidence on the table now from credible sources that cannot be explained if the vaccines are safe.

This is why nobody will debate us. I even offered $1M to incentivize people to show up at the debate table. No takers. So I raised it to a “name your price” offer. Still no takers.

The MIT faculty doesn’t want to hear any of it. They will not let the MIT students hear any of it either.

The safety and efficacy of the vaccines shall not be questioned. The MIT faculty will not allow it.

That’s not how science is supposed to work.

Is there a single member of the MIT faculty who is the least bit curious that there might be another side of the narrative that is being unfairly suppressed?

Why doesn’t anyone want to know the answer to these questions?

There are many important questions that any critical thinker would have that need to be explored:

Real science is fine.
Leftist “science” is way past rigor mortis.

Yes

Welcome to group worship (think is just not allowed)

They all have been taught to follow the collective, nearly the antitheses of science.

The proper question is, “Is the scientific method dead?”

The same argument could be made about many other scientific endeavors, climate change being the most obvious.

"Political science" practiced in many colleges is not "science."

Just as with the word "vaccine", the definition of "science" has been changed to fit the political narrative ... to serve a political purpose rather than a scientific purpose ... and fools believe and accept the redefinition of the terms.

Without the ultimate Truth can there be science?

MIT moved from being a top science and engineering institute to being one of the two famed Cambridge institutes for Deep State studies two decades ago, at least. Harvard made its dough off supplying technocrats to the New Deal and its continuing successor bureaucratic manifestations. MIT got jealous and piled on.

Real science is long overdue to break away from government funding. Straight from Mr. "I am the Science" Fauxi's mouth; government funding is so corrupted that it's not science at all.

This is the same way it worked in the Royal Academy of Sciences in London. A lot of skullduggery occurred in an attempt to prevent Michael Faraday from speaking. He was just a janitor.

One more...

MIT told to turn over docs related to Russian, Chinese and Saudi ties MIT's Saudi Arabia ties seem especially concerning to the feds.

Breitbart should have a division called “Big Science.”

The damage is the same.

Who with an ounce of sense will accept “scientific” findings for years to come?

“Science”, like SO many other things (our courts, media, Dept of Justice, etc…) has been hijacked/ bought and paid for - by POLITICIANS.

They use OUR money to pay all these folks - to work AGAINST us.

Real “science” is a RARE thing these days.

This sure had me fooled because I always thought MIT was an institution of higher learning. I personally never attended college & I wouldn’t go now unless I was assured that my tuition was completely refundable. If stuff such as this is MIT’s position, they better hire new help.

When biased interpretation of science becomes the science instead, then science is dead.
