Former Obama official Andy Slavitt was recently appointed to Biden’s team as “senior advisor for Covid response.” Known for his frequent “Twitterhea” length fear-mongering threads preaching subservience, we’ve saved some of his greatest hits so that no one doubt his character.
First we should mention that Slavitt has worked for arguably the two most notorious vampire squids of capitalism: Goldman and McKinsey. He’s no social worker. He is also (shockingly) not a scientist or Dr (of any kind). He’s an English/Econ major with an mba.
But in any case let’s focus on a thread from July where Slavitt tells us all how to stop c19. It’s easy you dolts! We can stop it “any time we decide to.”
We just need to do a hard lockdown for 4-6 weeks. Why? Because it worked great for all kinds of other countries! First up, NZ which even he knows is ridiculous so he quickly moves on to Germany
Whoops.
No matter. How about Italy France and Spain? They locked down and really crushed the curve says Andy.
Whoops! (Again)
Errr- no matter. “Pick virtually any country” admonishes non-STEM Slavitt. They all did better than the US (as long as they are mostly 🍒🤏small tropical islands or nations that you’ve barely heard of). Completely valid compares according to STEMless Slavitt. Barbados, Brunei...
We just need a 4-6 week “kitchen sink” lockdown. Which means more masks. No schools, churches, bars, restaurants. No interstate travel nor flights in or out of country. Crop pickers truck drivers and health care workers stay home!
Totally practical right? Stop the entire economy for 4-6 weeks. Which of course means most of the world’s economy grinds to a halt.
It is so ludicrously unrealistic that only a McKinsey consultant could propose such tripe.
“Sadly” though after the kitchen sink lockdown we wouldn’t be out of the woods but Japan, Czechia, and Greece can show us the way. And note the snark about most of us not having common sense. “Beginning to recognize the flaw.” Me too.
Whoops whoops whoops. This is just starting to get sad. For the country, that is, if this guy gains any influence.
Lest anyone still thinks Andy Slavitt is qualified to be a national Covid advisor, let’s take a good hard look at this guy’s character. Hint: Slavitt compadre Dr Dingus would probably start this part with “🚨🚨💥💥WOAH TROUBLESOME!💥💥🚨🚨”
Slavitt thinks a good portion of the nation are cheeseball-eating Walmart-shopping Sw*stika-mask wearing deplorables who are foolishly concerned about their personal rights. And oh yeah their “scarves don’t match their outfits.”
This is so disgustingly elitist and vile that no one should be under any illusion that Andy Slavitt is anything but a horrible person.
“Scratch an intellectual, and you find a would-be aristocrat who loathes the sight, the sound and the smell of common folk.” -Eric Hoffer
I’ll close with two more Slavitt gems regarding kids. The “stick your college kid in the garage for thanksgiving” thread- a real winner that he deleted claiming it was a joke which is still terrible...
And the “CDC is stupid because they say kids should be in school” tweet.
There is so much material I left out but it should be clear that Andy Slavitt is an unqualified, out of touch with reality, elitist menace who despises much of the country. But sure, put him in a senior advisory role. People can change, right?
Wrong pic. This is the one about Italy France Spain.
Sorry but I can’t stop. Folks need to know what a despicable cretin this guy really is. Here English/Econ major Slavitt admonishes the commoners for not having credentials and hence not being qualified to understand the pandemic. Stupendous hypocrisy.
Here political grifter Andy Slavitt has a Twitter love fest with the single biggest fraud on Twitter “Dr” Fake-Dingus. Not a surprise these two love each other.
Finally (?) an oldie but goodie where Slavitt opines on something that as a supposed mba he might actually be able to understand. Whoops. H/T @NahasNewman

Due to the proven immense human costs of lockdowns, there must be overwhelming evidence that they have a significant public health benefit. There is none. Just one recent example of the terrible costs:
More important findings from the newly uncovered RI PCR test Ct data!
Recall I previously showed the Ct values of more than 5000 C19 PCR tests from the RI state health lab. Here they are again color coded for estimated infectivity. While all these folks were “positive”...
The green folks were likely not infective and the yellows may not have been. The higher the Ct score, the lower the viral load - the person is “less sick” or has remnant viral rna which can be detected for months while infectivity lasts maybe a week.
Yet it is nearly impossible to obtain Ct score data! Go ahead and ask for it- you will likely get a blank stare or a weak excuse about authorization or data storage. But you won’t get your Ct score. Ridiculous.
PCR Ct data revealed! For the first time we get a look at the Ct values from a state health lab - these cover March-June 2020. First the scatter of all 5036 positive tests:
Next we look at the distribution of Ct values for all tests:
Finally, the temporal shift in percentage of tests with Ct > 32 (arguably a fair cutoff for infectious viral loads).
Or, an easy way to understand the problems with and damage done by PCR tests for COVID-19
You've probably heard of PCR tests, which are by far the most widely used for COVID-19. Yet many of us are saying that positive PCR test results - “cases” - do not reflect actual viral infections accurately. Why? Read on for a simple analogy...
Let's say there has been a big problem with houses becoming infested with ants [people infected with c19] in your neighborhood. The government says you should get tested for ants [C19] because your ants might "silently spread" to other houses! Scary!
Breaking: No one tested at RI’s airport has COVID! 1% of those tested did however have “FalsePositive19”, the pandemic sweeping the world! Officials warned travelers that they “should be ashamed” that they contracted FP19. 1/6 wpri.com/target-12/11-t…
Meanwhile officials admonish public to “stay home but also to get tested”. The DOH director noted that “if folks don’t get tested, we won’t know how many have FP19. Furthermore, hospitals are filling up with FP19 patients.” (Fact check: 22% of avail beds). 2/6
The Binax Now Rapid Antigen test used at the airport has a 1-2% specificity= false positive rate. Hence any perfectly healthy pop tested with Binax will show 1-2% FP19! Just like the airport. 3/6
