1/@CDCDirector endorses and promotes lockdowns by incorrectly citing Sweden and Chinese data.

“To give you a sense of what lockdowns were able to do in other countries, and I mean really strict lockdowns, in China their death rate is 3 per million.”
2/ Leaving aside excess deaths, here are all of the countries between Sweden and the US based on COVID deaths per million. All locked down.
3/ Here are all of the countries greater than the US on a deaths per millions basis. All locked down.
4/ @CDCDirector is completely wrong on her baseless and unscientific claim that lockdowns are correlated to saving lives. wsj.com/articles/lockd…

1/ These “temporary” camps designed for tourists become permanent camps for Australians as predicted.
2/ It was easy to see the writing on the wall.

A credential vs. science

“Natural immunity confers longer-lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SCoV2, compared to vaccine-induced immunity.” medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

science.org/content/articl…
NIH is part of the "anti-vaxx" trope.

"The immune systems of more than 95% of people who recovered from COVID19 had durable memories of the virus up to eight months after infection."
nih.gov/news-events/ni…
Ireland is in on it too.

"Reinfection was an uncommon event (absolute rate 0%-1.1%), with no study reporting an increase in the risk of reinfection over time."

1/ There is no longer any doubt that Sweden won.

"And more and more countries are taking that position, because even with a fantastic vaccine, we can control it, but we cannot eradicate it… We have to accept a certain level of spread in the society."
unherd.com/thepost/anders…
2/ "We probably have to accept there’s going to be a few cases in our hospitals, with COVID in the foreseeable future, just like we are accepting a few cases of flu or a few cases of many diseases that we cannot control completely."
3/ "I mean, if you look at excess mortality, for example, Sweden did not fare very badly at all, maybe four or five from the bottom in the European Union. But there was definitely a need of a much higher level of immunity in a population..."

1/ Fauci is 100% wrong on both of his claims that natural immunity is not durable and getting vaxx’d with natural immunity offers “dramatically increased protection.”

Fauci needs to spend more time reading and less time on TV.
2/ “People who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID.” israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx…

1/ This is why you get an F in public health if you base your policy on viral loads, bad models, and rejected papers while still showing strong VE against severe outcomes.

You get stupid headlines and hysteria like this…
2/ Let’s see what others have to say -

1/ This is dangerous.

“It would create a carveout in Section 230 opening social media platforms up to lawsuits for hosting health misinformation. The bill directs the HHS to issue guidelines on what should be classified as ‘health misinformation’.”
theverge.com/2021/7/22/2258…
2/ Several voices including myself to @MartinKulldorff to @BallouxFrancois have been slander with the label “misinformation” even though we present evidence and data based views.

This isn’t about your health or safety. It is purely about controlling you and science.
3/ What is “official advice” often contradicts itself. Officials will change their mind or not take a position due to uncertainty. This will force regulators to take unhealthy positions. Trust will fall.

It’s “misinformation” to assume there is one voice in science and medicine.
