In what is hopefully just one of many unelected public health tyrants being forced to resign as their failed policies’ can no longer be rationalized, RI’s health director Dr Alexander-Scott is out. The sorry history of her Covid “rule of terror” follows 🧵: 
Dr Alexander-Scott’s greatest hit was her last: firing healthcare workers who chose not to be vaxed while allowing infected but vaxed workers to return to work as RI’s hospitals groaned under a self-imposed worker shortage.

Meanwhile RI has had one of the worst C19 tolls in the world as Dr Alexander-Scott “ruled” by assertion and obfuscation. No accountability, no adaptation, no apologies. Public health via political dogma might best describe Dr Alexander-Scott’s tenure.

After promoting bogus models in April ‘20 that overestimated hospitalizations by 10x, she announced on May 1 that she was changing C19 hospitalizations to include incidental + tests in admissions for any condition as C19 hospitalizations, increasing hosp census by 30+% overnight.
Alexander-Scott continued to hide the true C19 hospitalization census data right up to the end of her tenure, instead preferring to emit word-salad smoke screens at pressers. This “10%” number is likely way below the real figure =30-60% in most states.
Even the few RI politicians asking good questions failed to pry the data from Dr Alexander-Scott.

She also hid PCR test Ct data which thru June ‘20 was performed by state labs so they had the data but refused to disclose it. Dogged FOIA requests finally succeeded, and @andrewbostom and I analyzed it demonstrating how critical this data is to a rational public health policy.

Instead Alexander-Scott chose the “book of Birx” to guide her “policy” - endlessly babbling about testing, “silent asymptomatic spread” and masks on top of masks. Pro tip: having no symptoms /= “course of illness.”
Dr Alexander-Scott loved mask mandates. She never once provided any real data to support their use (there isn’t any) but here she quotes a ridiculous modeling study as “proof.” (Freudian slip: “we know that equivocally”).
Here Dr Alexander-Scott, who kept kids always masked, gleefully talks about how kids can wear tight masks that are “creative and tell a story.”
Dr Alexander-Scott never showed humility or willingness to consider challenges to her dogma even as it was clear masking did nothing. andrewbostom.org/2021/03/despit…
Here she drips disdain as a reporter challenges her mask religion. No data, no justification, just assertion.
It is precisely this type of “public health policy” that has forever tarnished the public’s view of public health, science and medicine. We can only hope that other unelected self-serving unintelligent public health bureaucrats follow Dr Alexander-Scott in “resigning” ASAP.
