The challenge to academic freedom that Professor Lynn Comerford encountered upon adding Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science and The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health to her students’ assigned reading list is one readers may not have heard about. It appears to have received no coverage outside of the Children’s Health Defense website.
The CHD article quotes Comerford as saying, “If faculty are not free to ask questions — even questions that turn accepted orthodoxies on their head — there is no growth, and the purpose of the university ceases to exist. The pursuit of knowledge and truth is not a popularity contest.”
Comerford wrote a Substack piece in March defending her decision to teach the material.
I have not read the book, but I generally know the sense of it. It seems to me if someone is in favor of Dr. F then discussing what's wrong with the RFK book is valuable. Without debate about the merits of his book there are more questions about why it is suppressed than if it were discussed and dismissed.
