Many other outlets have published this. So for you GP haters, there are other sources.

This guy MUST be wrong. He's only an MIT graduate and I read right here on FR that this is so serious that the actions of the government is completely justified.

Appealing to authority is a classic logical fallacy.

I’m hearing a rumor of a nationwide shutdown tomorrow, except for food stores and pharmacies. We’re obviously headed that way.

I’ve never been into conspiracy theories but ...

Soros would happily do something like this.

Send in Seal Team 7 to neutralize him.

Bad link with the post. Does not lead to GP, but to an out date Breitbart column on impeachment.

First, he is not the inventor of email. By the time he invented what he called email, email was already in use.

Second, the link goes to a Brietbart article, not Gateway Pundit's article here:

Its not just pushing medical control agendas, but pushing all forms of overarching control we’d never accept.

Too many here bend over and spread the cheeks for it.

Have to agree with him.

We have gone from prudence to hysteria IMHO.

Anybody who pays any attention to Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, Jim Hoft or Gateway pundit is stupid.

They said 3000 people in the USA have this Coronavirus. That’s 0.0009% of the US population of 330 million. That’s ridiculously small compared to the media attention it is given especially for a virus that isn’t lethal, that has a very high recovery rate. So why are they doing this? Why are they promoting this like end of days, a modern version of the black plague? It’s because it’s an election year! Does anyone think for one second the media would be whipping up such hysteria if B.Hussein was POTUS? Not a chance in hell. When they saw what negative press did to the stock market, that was it, that’s when they upped the ante with 24 hour a day news coverage and promoted it as Armageddon

Judge dismisses ‘inventor of email’ lawsuit against Techdirt
• September 6, 2017

https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/06/judge-dismisses-techdirt-lawsuit/

A Massachusetts judge has sided with Techdirt, dismissing Shiva Ayyadurai’s $15 million lawsuit against the media company, its founder Mike Masnick and writer Leigh Beadon.

The suit centered on Techdirt’s coverage of Ayyadurai’s claim that he is the inventor of email — Masnick’s position on the matter is spelled out pretty clearly in an article titled, “Here’s The Truth: Shiva Ayyadurai Didn’t Invent Email.”

Ayyadurai sued Techdirt for defamation, while Masnick argued that the articles were both backed up by research and protected under the First Amendment. (He also said that regardless of the outcome, the case has had “very real chilling effects” on Techdirt.)

In his post announcing the legal victory, Masnick writes, “This is, clearly, a big win for the First Amendment and free speech — especially the right to call out and criticize a public figure such as Shiva Ayyadurai, who is now running for the US Senate in Massachusetts.”

In his ruling, Judge F. Dennis Saylor agrees that the articles were protected under the First Amendment, partly because they “are not provably false, are subjective statements that do not imply knowledge of objective facts, or are statements involving figurative language or hyperbole.”

Some of this touches on the question of whether Ayyadurai is, in fact, the inventor of email, but Saylor writes, “The articles at issue do not dispute that plaintiff created an e-mail system. Rather, they dispute whether plaintiff should properly be characterized as the inventor of e-mail based on that creation.”

Saylor goes on to note that exactly what distinguishes the first email system from other forms of electronic communication isn’t something that’s universally agreed upon — for example, he says that while Ayyadurai’s suit defines email as including features like an inbox, outbox and folders, the Merriam-Webster definition is much more general.

“Accordingly, whether plaintiff’s claim to have invented e-mail is ‘fake’ depends upon the operative definition of ‘e-mail,’ ” Saylor writes. “Because that definition does not have a single, objectively correct answer, the claim is incapable of being proved true or false.”
