Crystal clear elucidation of the replacement of
science 🔬
by "The Science" scientism 🙏✝️

Philosopher Matthew Crawford interviewed by @freddiesayers for @unherd . Matthew pretty much nails the entire faux expert and faux science phenomena.

Quotes of ✨brilliance✨ follow:

"Science has changed from a mode of inquiry to a form of authority that you are not allowed to question"

"We've seen this extraordinary extension of expert jurisdiction over every domain of life...it involves a delegitimizing of common sense as a guide to action."

"You can't really follow the science because science doesn't lead anywhere... it can't make the choices for us, and pretending otherwise is a way for decision makers to avoid responsibility for the choices they make on our behalf."

@GovRonDeSantis

@GovRonDeSantis Roundtable going on now:

Dr Sunetra Gupta: "imperfect lockdowns [which all are] are closer to a 'let it rip' strategy than focused protection."

Dr Scott Atlas: "Our country more than any other was willing to sacrifice our children out of fear."

Dr Martin Kulldorff: "Children should not be wearing masks"

Dr Jay Bhattacharya: "Former CDC director said masks were more effective than vaccines - simply not true. You would expect to see a profound effect if they worked."

Dr Gupta: "Variant presence indicates there are only a few ways the virus can change. Variants indicate SLIGHT advantage over existing strain. More likely to happen when more people immune. Overhyped. Models predicting huge variant effect are in denial of herd immunity."

💥🇸🇪The Sweden “Problem” SOLVED!🇸🇪💥

Or, how does a biased world rid itself of the best example of a non-lockdown control for its horrible lockdown experiment?

Simple! CHANGE THE DATA.

Of course we all know Sweden has been a battleground regarding its mild voluntary lockdown strategy versus the heavy lockdowns of most of the EU. Inconvenient graphs like this one are quite a thorn in Team Lockdown’s side. Sweden fewer deaths/M, much better quality of life.

When I did some analysis in the Spring and Fall, I looked at Oxford’s stringency index as a proxy for lockdown severity. And sure enough Sweden was significantly lower stringency than all other EU countries.

💥”Pop expert” predictions vs the data💥

JPM released some good news today: hospitalization growth rate graphs that clearly show the seasonal winter wave has been declining for some time and hosp growth is declining now in all regions.

But what did the “experts” predict?

“OMG OMG” who could forget this tour de force of Public Health “devastation” by RI’s own Megan Ranney? Whoooooops...

Or Saint Fauci’s “surge upon a surge” that he “didn’t want to frighten us” with? Oooof...

@TLennhamn

The real deal on Sweden🇸🇪 from an actual Swede @TLennhamn . Please read the paper but I’ll hit the highlights here. “The world’s cautionary tale” it definitely is, but not in the way the writer of that headline intended... key facts in this thread -> …edevelopmentperestroika.wordpress.com/2021/01/15/fin…

Sweden did have about 6000 more deaths than “expected” -98k vs 92k. And the “highest number of deaths since 1918”, a “fact” gleefully reported by the media. But perhaps that’s a bit misleading...

Simple question for the Sweden-haters:

if a population doubles, wouldn’t you expect deaths to double all things being equal?

A tough concept for biased folk I know, but look at Sweden’s population growth and the population-adjusted curve. Can you spot the pandemic now?

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.”
