But if you say things Claire doesn't like about the pandemic then you're "irresponsible" and she will publish (s)hit pieces on you to defend your right of free enquiry.
Having had a couple of days to let this interview settle in my head, I think @lexfridman exposed the biggest issue with the official response to the pandemic: Lack of humility.🧵
Vaccines based on entirely new to humans technology deployed at an unprecedented rate and scale. Mandated, even to children. Overriding natural immunity, underpinning a war on early treatment, steamrolling Adverse Events data, based on bogus data on efficacy from broken trials.
The CDC and FDA look like cults on autopilot. The advocates are in charge of analyzing the data, and they'll lie with statistics to force their view on everyone. Anything named "vaccine" is perfect and has no downsides.
If there *was* an issue with a vaccine, how would we know?
2. Counting partially vaccinated as unvaccinated until 2 weeks after first dose:
“unvaccinated <14 (less than 14) days receipt of the first dose of a 2-dose series or 1 dose of the single-dose vaccine or if no vaccination registry data were available.” cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
The following is a 🧵on the Lex Fridman / Francis Collins podcast.
I haven't listened to it yet, so I'll be writing as I listen:
Episode #238 (Francis Collins: National Institutes of Health)
The pod is here if you want to listen along:
Fridman starts by stating the goal is to ask hard questions with empathy and humility "so that we may begin to regain a sense of trust in science, and it may once again become a source of hope". Francis says "he loves the goal" and so do I.
Off we go. Fridman's first question is "is there a chance the virus leaked from a lab" and Collins starts with the usual deflections. "I can't exclude that, I think it's unlikely".
1. Why is the CDC/USG pushing for universal vaccination over any other consideration, including natural immunity, age risk profile, vaccine waning data, adverse events, etc, even though we know these vaccines can't produce herd immunity?
