Dr. Osterholm
 

Seriously, how can an expert be so wrong? Repeatedly.

But hey, he is a best selling author and on the Biden team, so that makes his "science", legit?

A lot of Chicken Little’s are coming home to roost...

The worst part is many claimed the ICL model was “science” when it was little more than a guess based on lots parameters where a few small errors multiplied into a huge end-state miss.

Media *****s, all of them.

Meanwhile you absolutely trust that “masks very bad” hypothesis? And if you look at it globally this is absolutely they darkest time of the pandemic. Look at India and Brazil? And most of the world isn’t as strongly vaccinated as we are. We are only doing better because of the good fortune of the US buying and distributing more vaccines.

Well thank goodness we had such forward looking leadership to implement Operation Warp Speed.

Aside from that though, you're wrong. Dr Osterholm was specifically referring to the US.

"“We are going to see something like we have not seen yet in this country,” Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said on NBC’s Meet the Press."

The only thing “Dr Doom” got right was his advocacy for delaying second mRNA doses to get more people “some” (now understood to be 80% at 14 days after first dose) protection sooner.

The UK’s experience shows the value in that kind of policy; even doubling the dose interval from 3/4 weeks to 6/8 weeks would have accelerated things substantially.

Risk aversion, tho...

Who produced that “good fortune”? I never said, “masks very bad”; I said using them in unscientific ways was idiotic and pushed by idiots. If you’re symptomatic, or believe you’ve been exposed to someone positive and indoors with others, fine. Driving a motorcycle, walking your dog, not so much.

I find it hilarious that this forum is now backbending to try to assign credit to Trump.

It's a contortionist show worthy of Cirque du Soleil.

He was the CinC when it was started. Where’s the twisting?
