I was perusing US Covid media coverage & I was amused to see we’re still hearing from the same rotating list of captured experts who have been wrong about everything since 2020, spectacularly bombing every prediction. The list never changes. It’s always the same people. Thread:
We’ve got Gottlieb, King of Failed Predictions—I’ve done threads on his pandemic prediction failures.
CBS: Dr. Scott Gottlieb says he's "pretty concerned" about new COVID variant Dr. Scott Gottlieb tells "Face the Nation" that he's "pretty concerned" about the new COVID variant BA 2.86. While it doesn't appear to be more dangerous than other strains, it could be more transmissible, he said. 13H AGO
CNBC: Pfizer board member Gottlieb says the Covid pandemic could be over in the U.S. by January PUBLISHED FRI, NOV 5 2021 8:53 AM EDT UPDATED FRI, NOV 5 2021 4:37 PM EDT Robert Towey @ROBERTTOWEYCNBC WATCH LIVE
We’ve got Sanjay Gupta, who once again declared the pandemic over in May 2023, & who kicked off the pandemic in 2020 telling us kids didn’t transmit Covid effectively because their “short statures made for less powerful coughs & sneezes.”
CNN: Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains what you should do if you get Covid now Federal surveillance data suggests that Covid-19 levels are trending up in the United States, but key metrics remain well below most other points in the pandemic. Dr. Sanjay Gupta explains.
CNN: Dr. Sanjay Gupta: The Covid-19 emergency is ending. It’s time for the patient to leave the hospital By Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Updated 10:22 AM EDT, Wed May 10, 2023
We’ve got Leana Wen instructing us to use more Paxlovid four months after we heard variants are already developing resistance to Paxlovid, and 2 months after she was hospitalized for pneumonia in the middle of the summer. Washington Post: “The Checkup with Dr Wen Paxlovid is still underutilized. That must change” Leana Wen August 3, 2023
We’ve got Bob Wachter telling us he isn’t masking today and pretending it’s because he has this novel risk calculus that works really well, but really it’s because he just got Covid and busted his face.
Bob Wachter tweet 8/18/23: “However, once you hit month 4, don’t count on your boost or Covid case to protect you vs. infection. (They still will protect you from severe infection & Long Covid – I give them 1 year of credit in this regard). So while I’m not masking today, if the case rates remain… (13/25)”
CNN: “A doctor known for assessing Covid risk fell ill with the virus. Here’s what he wants you to know.” Dr Robert Wachter posted an image of himself after his fall showing his injuries and stitches” (photo of Bob Wachter in a neck brace, black eye, stitches on his face)
We’ve got Ashish “My hope is that in 2023 we will see commercialization of all these (Covid) products” Jha, who rode off into the sunset amid great fanfare over the summer, back again for a new & even more frightening wave in August.
Washington Post: “Opinion: The US is more equipped than ever against Covid. Thank you Ashish Jha by Leana Wen June 21, 2023
WBUR. “Covid is spiking in Boston. Local doctors tell us what that means.” August 16, 2023 by Khari Thompson Carrie Jung A photo of Ashish Jha is shown
May 2021: “There are all these kind of hidden systemic structures that explain why we get who we get on TV, and only a tiny percentage of that is related to the expertise of the person.” statnews.com/2021/05/18/how…
I will never forget this.

Interview requests go to the optimistic, not the cautious and concerned.
We reopened schools with no mitigation based on the guidance of economist Emily Oster & her Koch-funded database.

We spent 2 years infecting & reinfecting the nation’s children with a BSL-3 novel pathogen, & it continues to this day. levernews.com/how-the-koch-n…
Excellent point
Our “new courageous accept exposure” strategy was detailed here in January by Steven Phillips MD, MPH, former Medical Director for Global Projects at Exxon turned VP Science & Strategy, COVID Collaborative & Fellow of the American College of Epidemiology. time.com/6251077/covid-…
Time: Time: “The U.S. is now at a major pandemic crossroad. “Follow the science” has been a central policy guidepost in the pandemic. Science and public health knowledge and expertise is the conduit to both sound policy and public education through media channels. New courageous “accept exposure” policies, public education and behavior change strategies are needed to capture the benefits of the new paradigm. This could be a major step in bridging our national COVID divide.

This is why we never make progress.
CBS: New COVID variants EG.5, FL.1.5.1 and BA.2.86 are spreading. Here's what to know. healthwatch BY ALEXANDER TIN AUGUST 21, 2023 / 1:14 PM / CBS NEWS A still video shot of Scott Gottlieb being interviewed on Face the Nation
Leana “I was quietly hospitalized for ‘pneumonia’ this summer” Wen is back to steer the conversation away from “Accept Exposure” to “Accept Disability.”
I missed the Stat News piece, “Long Covid is a new name for an old syndrome,” was written by Exxon’s former Medical Director for Global Projects, the “new courageous accept exposure policies, public education, & behavior change strategies” eugenicist himself, Stephen Phillips.
Andy Slavitt is making an appearance this season.
It is 2023 and mainstream media won’t stop interviewing all the same people who previously drove us off a cliff. The people never change and the guidance never changes either.

EVERYTHING is about protecting business at the expense of humans. The lies aren’t going to stop.

“The crew is vomiting and passengers all around are asking for masks.”
It’s difficult to hear but I’m pretty sure that says “masks.” I bet they wish they had worn N95s on the plane.
So many in-flight biohazards these days…

This is one state. The faster we die, the cheaper it will be.

“The data show that nearly 3 million Pennsylvania adults reported being disabled, costing the state $42 billion dollars a year in health care costs.”
THREAD 🗣️

In 2021 we were told the system would collapse if even a few million Americans were disabled by Covid & filed for benefits. No funding was allocated & we kicked off The Great Unmasking & ended the public health emergency. (I firmly believe this is the main reason for that.)
We have NEVER counted the number of Americans with LongCovid, by design. We haven’t had testing or Covid data since 2022.

Some suggest 25 million Americans have LongCovid now, even though 24 million had LongCovid in 2022, & 80% struggled to complete daily tasks.

There is an absolutely massive list of produce brands & store names in 18 states.

The U.S. has been ignoring ongoing listeria outbreaks for like the last 3 years. There are also ongoing listeria outbreaks linked to deli meats. h/t @lovemoz1 allrecipes.com/produce-recall…

It has become clear we aren’t going to reevaluate our priorities, & in fact we are going to march full speed ahead into yet another anti-public health arrangement without a second thought. Everyone is choosing to believe in magic YET AGAIN. People genuinely seem to think we don’t need a plan or public health funding, as simply pretending things are great & nominating a SHINY & NEW candidate (whose spouse tested positive two weeks ago) will scare away all the Covid. We must never speak of how the virus destroyed the last one. Electing a younger president to ignore Covid will be different.

LongCovid patients are still expected to rot—as millions more are disabled & killed. Nothing is going to change. We can’t seem to stop engaging in fantasy, role playing, & self-sabotage. We need an ACTIVE PLAN. Pretending away the Pathogen Apocalypse isn’t going to work. The cult-like behavior and refusal to acknowledge or address unpleasant truths only ends in collapse.
We live and die for GOOD FEELS and corporate profits and convenience now. Enjoy.
I haven’t confirmed this, but I don’t think people realize how LITTLE data the CDC actually collects. medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-h…

China has been giving Covid patients Azvudine—an HIV drug—since 2022.
In June 2020, the NYT said Covid causes immunodeficiency like HIV, & suggested, “A cocktail of antiviral drugs may be a good bet for those with mild illness.”

For 5 years, NO ONE has been getting the cocktail of antiviral drugs.
Lengthy recent thread + article about the HIV drug Azvudine.
