He thinks???
Remember. First was Fauci saying, well before the covid shots were released, that we should not expect that the vaccines will prevent contracting or spreading covid. He later walked that back and then the 95% effective messaging came out.
You left out, "We also hired you because you are a race-baiting lesbian. If you were a conservative Black woman we never would have considered you. So you see, race had nothing to do with it."

I suspect that, with the exception of a very few, those people are silent now because reality has made them skeptics too.And a lot of the “smartest guys on INGO” choked that down and spewed it out here.
NOTE: They were pretty quiet all of 2023, do you think they will pipe up in 2024?
I think a lot of people fall into that category. For many of us, trust in the public health sector has diminished dramatically. A lot has been written, postpandemic, about the suicide of expertise.I suspect that, with the exception of a very few, those people are silent now because reality has made them skeptics too.
Well, I’ll admit I did at first. I didn’t trust Fauci pretty much from the start, because he’s obviously duplicitous. He flipped his rhetoric so many times. But I did think at one point the shot was probably safe and effective because of strong signals from the healthcare community affirming it. Then data and studies from outside the US started filling in a different picture.I think a lot of people fall into that category.

Yep. Credibility takes a long time to establish, but it can be lost overnight. The public health community has largely flushed theirs down the drain, which is a pity since we will probably need them again. It will be a pity if next time they are correct but their advice is ignored. Not unlike the boy who cried wolf.But I did think at one point the shot was probably safe and effective because of strong signals from the healthcare community affirming it.

Some. Some (I suspect) are waiting, hoping that the data will turn around and vindicate their dearly held beliefs. In places like CA (I recently posted an article) they are crowing about getting masks required in hospitals again…even though all of the data is showing they didn’t stop the virus.I suspect that, with the exception of a very few, those people are silent now because reality has made them skeptics too.
