This guy was all in on lockdowns, censorship, and covid vaccine mandates, with the Canadian government funding his propaganda efforts. I opposed all those because they made no scientific, medical, economic, or ethical sense. Unlike him, I have no interest in his psychology.
I'm fascinated with psychology driving Prasad, Makary, Bhattacharya, Oz, etc. These individuals have a science background. They MUST know they're: - pushing harmful BS - enabling an authoritarian admin - their legacy is now darkness WTF is the motivation? Why do this? WHY?

Prasad is a prolific clinical researcher , a clinical practicing oncologist and an epidemiologist who quickly climbed the ladder of academia publishing papers about pharmaceutical industry gamesmanship and spoke about regulatory capture frequently. This made him very popular

It's irresponsible for journals to publish dangerous gain of function studies. The Chinese government should follow the US lead and ban its support for this kind of mad science.
🚨 NEW: Chinese researchers have engineered a SADS-CoV virus (swine acute diarrhea), through gain-of-function research, which is now capable of infecting humans “Herein, we sequenced the spike (S) genes of bat SADSr-CoVs and classified them into four genotypes. We constructed an

A reminder that the empirical evidence shows lockdowns failed to protect life and caused tremendous catastrophic harm. Let's hope the NYT never again has a say in public health policy. https://t.co/xp1EnZVKAW
First and most obviously, lockdowns failed to protect people from dying. Since Jan '20 Sweden has the lowest cumulative age-adjusted all-cause excess deaths in Europe. California was worse than Florida. It was the lockdowners who threatened the nation's health. 2/5

A friend told me that the NYT just published a piece criticizing me, fearful I wouldn't recommend a lockdown if another pandemic came along. Not sure why that's a criticism. Lockdowns were the biggest public health disaster in history and it's true I won't ever recommend one!

This expose by @JamesOKeefeIII is interesting for more than just the usual reason. The guy filmed thinks of science as a dead thing, frozen in amber, to be brought back after the barbarians have receded. But science is alive and changes with new discovery. The old web pages

“California allows children as young as 12 to work in agriculture, but many face punishing conditions, including extreme heat and exposure to toxic pesticides.” Why is this allowed, @GavinNewsom? https://t.co/UPeGqfYYwG

Britain never ran the basic test: did lockdown actually work? The Hallett inquiry treats a modelled 23,000 figure as fact while ignoring the real evidence. My Times column:-

Canadian professional organizations abused their power to vilify and suppress the speech of dissident scientists and doctors during the pandemic. Glad to see Alberta is moving to rectify the problem. https://t.co/0ZxuVryWRW

@DrJBhattacharya @TheAtlantic We knew early in the covid pandemic about reversible risk factors for serious illness and death from covid. It was a tragic mistake for the public health community to take no action to try to reduce those risk factors, a standard approach for all other diseases. What a blind

Sweden & Covid 🇸🇪 This key point was completely overlooked in the Covid inquiry conclusions - Sweden didn’t enforce lockdowns, school closures and mask mandates during the Covid era, yet Sweden’s excess death rate during 2020–2022, was the lowest of all European countries.

@DrJBhattacharya In no universe and no scenario does it take 5 years to conclude that the real reason 2 weeks to stop the spread didn't work is because 3 weeks to stop the spread would have been magic.

Two questions for Katherine Wu: 1) Do you believe metabolically heathier people fare better when challenged by pathogens? 2) Do you think it's a good idea for scientists to make pathogens more deadly as a way to prevent pandemics? I say yes and no. https://t.co/oDFNYislFe

The old one failed to cope with Covid and may even have caused it.

The only people spreading the 'miasma' theory (whatever the heck that is) is @TheAtlantic. This piece evinces a basic lack of reading and analytic skills, and a fair bit of conspiratorial thinking. https://t.co/ly6zOFmyFp
