Not "people" -- a single, unnamed, VC. It's right there in the article. Read it.

> Prasad was ousted

No, he wasn't. He voluntarily resigned pre-emptively after the WSJ editorials, then he was re-hired almost immediately. You are just misinformed. You'd know this if you read a better source.

So, again, you’re not showing how it’s an ad hominem, you’re just disagreeing with the biased reporting.

Where did I say it was an ad hominem?

>> Instead of just reporting the facts of the case (as was done by the Stat piece, which they're ripping off) they spend multiple paragraphs making ad hominem attacks about the CDC, Prasad, etc. Almost unbelievably, they put those things first.

Touché. I shouldn't have said "ad hominem attacks", because, while these arguments are certainly specious, and completely unrelated to the subject of the article, they're not strictly ad hominem.

I agree with your comment that my criticism is (and was) biased reporting.
