Many decades ago, before internet and the TV stations were all local and went off the air at 11PM, I was on the school newspaper staff and we were taught this.
The first paragraph of all articles had to have a synopsis of these things; who, what, where, when why and how. The most important part was a catchy headline to draw the reader's attention to the article.
Why a catchy headline and brief synopsis in the first paragraph? Because that is all people will read!
Nothing has changed, except now the headline is call "click bait," and everything is either a dumb video or an opinion piece repeating the popular headlines of the day.
Assuming the paper is from Stanford, I'd say it has far more weight than the AMGEN group. Maybe, unless one has a political and financial interest connection with the NIH.
"Amgen Inc. (formerly A pplied M olecular Gen etics Inc.) is an American multinational biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California.
One of the world's largest independent biotechnology companies, Amgen was established in Thousand Oaks, California, in 1980."
2020 revenue, $25 billion.
So what stake does AMGEN have in disagreeing and essentially mocking Stanford?
https://www.amgen.com/responsibility...se-to-covid-19- Amgen is participating in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Foundation for the NIH’s Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines partnership and the COVID R&D Alliance, a group of more than 20 R&D heads of the world’s leading biopharmaceutical and life science companies working to speed the development of potential therapies, novel antibodies and anti-viral therapies for COVID-19 and its related symptoms.
Fauci:
"
The 80-year-old Dr. Fauci holds a medical degree from Cornell University and began his 53-year career at NIH in 1968. He assumed his NIAID Director position in 1984 and has advised every president since President Ronald Reagan, though he serves directly under the NIH Director Francis Collins."
You all be the judge.
