We have literally been raising the flag on potential pandemics for DECADES. D E C A D E S.
I’m /so sorry/ everyone working on pandemic response didn’t realize all we needed to do was say “holy mother of god” like it was a magic phrase and everyone would “listen.” 🙄🙄🙄

And let’s be clear: that’s a “listen” because
1) clearly no one with the power to DO anything listened to Feigl-Ding any more than they’ve listened to ACTUAL experts. All EFD did was raise the general population panic and refocus resources towards debunking his bad “science”

2) we have had policy documents for YEARS outlining what to do in a pandemic, including how to recognize them. It’s not the fault of the people who worked on these things that no one listened to basics, like “boost production.” I get it: more swearing, next time 🙄🙄🙄
