We’re about halfway through Native American History Month. There is no creature more native to the U.S. than the survivor (el sobreviviente in Los Angeles; ناجية (nājiya) in Michigan; badbaadaha in Minnesota) and so let’s look back four years and see whether the readers of this blog were smart enough to infer the truth of what a now-famous survivor, Kristin Knouse, had been up to.
I hadn’t been paying attention to David Sabatini in 2022 because, although I like to Follow the Science, I’m not a biology researcher. The comments on #MarkedSafe from a cutlery basket in California asked for my opinion on the situation and apparently I’d read at least a headline. Excerpts, not in quote style for readability, …
Tony Doe: No comment on the firing of David Sabatini by MIT and his subsequent unpersoning from NYU? One of the best scientists in the United States must go to work for China because he dumped a girlfriend. (May 19, 2022)
Me: I didn’t know him personally. I thought those Whitehead Institute folks spent all of their lives hunched over PCR machines. Now we found out that they were having sex with each other. Having sex with a senior researcher certainly seems like a smart way to get tenure. If the sexual relationship continues, the senior person lobbies on one’s behalf. If the sexual relationship ends, allege harassment and then the institution can’t be seen retaliating by denying tenure.
Me again: The real question is why the canceled guy doesn’t just set up a lab in China, which has a 5,000-year history of progress in (lowercase) science and technology. Who in China will care which Americans were having sex with each other? [Sabatini ultimately did set up a lab in the Czech Republic, which starts with the same letter as China!]
Just a gringo: What happened to Sabatini is chilling, it reads like a witch hunt. Pretty similar to how Steve Kirsch got cancelled by MIT for the sin of going against the Covid narrative, check out this hit piece in the MIT tech review no less. https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/10/05/1036408/silicon-valley-millionaire-steve-kirsch-covid-vaccine-misinformation/amp/ Social Science could probably explain the physiology of what collectively happened/is happening in our current culture. If their results were reproducible, and if it was an actual Science.
It appears that I was skeptical of the survivor’s accusation due to the fact that it could be “a smart way to get tenure” and correctly forecast that Sabatini would be forced into international exile. The reader named “Just a gringo” was yet smarter: “it reads like a witch hunt.” He figured out that the survivor would need a coven to arrange the unpersoning of David Sabatini and, of course, turned out to be correct. See this X post regarding Ruth Lehmann, the head of the Whitehead Institute.
Below is a chat between biologists Kristin Knouse (a.k.a. “The Survivor”) and Izabella Peña. This is August 2020. Schools will be closed in Democrat-run cities for another year. Toddlers are forced to wear saliva-soaked face rags (“protective masks”) 8 hours per day. Were they trying to use their brains and training to understand the most malevolent virus in the history of humanity? Experiment with novel treatments for COVID-19, then killing healthy slender Americans in their very primes? Prepare a defense against the next pandemic virus? No. They were discussing arranging sexual encounters with new friends (i.e., exchanges of respiratory viruses in confined spaces; source).
Did the coven extend to other institutions? Here’s Angela Rasmussen, an American virologist who works in Canada:
The latest news in the “Why psychology keeps asking how she feels instead of what she gains” department (see The Dark Tetrad in Women, Kristin Knouse edition?)… it seems that Knouse got what might have been millions of dollars in cash from Whitehead and Howard Hughes Medical Institute back in 2022. This included getting all of her legal fees paid.
Source, which mentions “a seven-figure payout” (good example of “what she gains”, if true!):
Interesting, wasn’t Dr. Angela Rasmussen of the MIT #MeToo dogpile also one of the leading figures causing the Exodus of Greenspun from Maskachusetts?

Here is Dr Rasmussen in 2023: (there is an excellent picture in the link)
“Unfortunately, after three years, people are exhausted. But what I am frustrated about is the fact that we—and by ‘we’ I mean the world—have not encouraged people to uniformly adopt wearing masks and getting vaccinated. It turned into a political football, rather than something that should be considered across the board as the public health issue that it is.”
