i nver heard a R call it a hoax. They called the policies involved a hoaxRepublicans said COVID a was a hoax
Republicans still call COVID a hoaxi nver heard a R call it a hoax. They called the policies involved a hoax
and then we all learned that 99% of people without a pre-existing disease survive it. A 116 year old nun survived it.. and others over the age of 100 did as well.
we were lied to on a grand scale
and any idiot can figure out that wearing a mask on your face for hours, breathing in your own exhaled breath is NOT healthy..
i mean Duh
what a lieRepublicans still call COVID a hoax
Uruguay has banned covid vaccines for children under 13...the tide is turning in your favor, i admit, bro!We said shutdowns were bad, we said masks were bad, we said school closures were bad, we said the vaccines and boosters for children were bad, but we were called anti science for it. Remember? This is simply another thing we were right about and the left was wrong about. This seems to be the constant trend in the past several years.
Now there is a mass exodus from the CDC because you fucking left wingers refused to allow any discussion on COVID while you pushed your false science.
“It’s like a horror movie I’m being forced to watch and I can’t close my eyes,” one senior FDA official lamented. “People are getting bad advice and we can’t say anything.”
That particular FDA doctor was referring to two recent developments inside the agency. First, how, with no solid clinical data, the agency authorized COVID vaccines for infants and toddlers, including those who already had COVID. And second, the fact that just months before the FDA bypassed its external experts to authorize booster shots for young children.
That doctor is hardly alone.
At the NIH, doctors and scientists complain to us about low morale and lower staffing: The NIH’s Vaccine Research Center has had many of its senior scientists leave over the last year, including the director, deputy director and chief medical officer. “They have no leadership right now. Suddenly there’s an enormous number of jobs opening up at the highest level positions,” one NIH scientist told us. (The people who spoke to us would only agree to be quoted anonymously, citing fear of professional repercussions.)
The CDC has experienced a similar exodus. “There’s been a large amount of turnover. Morale is low,” one high level official at the CDC told us. “Things have become so political, so what are we there for?” Another CDC scientist told us: “I used to be proud to tell people I work at the CDC. Now I’m embarrassed.”
Why are they embarrassed? In short, bad science.
The longer answer: that the heads of their agencies are using weak or flawed data to make critically important public health decisions. That such decisions are being driven by what’s politically palatable to people in Washington or to the Biden administration. And that they have a myopic focus on one virus instead of overall health.
Nowhere has this problem been clearer — or the stakes higher — than on official public-health policy regarding children and COVID.
First, they demanded that young children be masked in schools. On this score, the agencies were wrong. Compelling studies later found schools that masked children had no different rates of transmission. And for social and linguistic development, children need to see the faces of others.
A child is held by her mother as she receives a COVID-19 dose.
Next came school closures. The agencies were wrong — and catastrophically so. Poor and minority children suffered learning loss with an 11-point drop in math scores alone and a 20% drop in math pass rates. There are dozens of statistics of this kind.
Then they ignored natural immunity. Wrong again. The vast majority of children have already had COVID, but this has made no difference in the blanket mandates for childhood vaccines. And now, by mandating vaccines and boosters for young healthy people, with no strong supporting data, these agencies are only further eroding public trust.
One CDC scientist told us about her shame and frustration about what happened to American children during the pandemic: “CDC failed to balance the risks of COVID with other risks that come from closing schools,” she said. “Learning loss, mental health exacerbations were obvious early on and those worsened as the guidance insisted on keeping schools virtual. CDC guidance worsened racial equity for generations to come. It failed this generation of children.
US agencies aren’t ‘following the science’ on COVID — and staff are too scared to complain
Silencing physicians is not “following the science.” Less absolutism and more humility by the men and women running our public health agencies would go a long way in rebuilding public trust.nypost.com

The current Vice President encouraged people not to vaccinate as long as Trump was President. Now that is crackpot.Republicans said COVID a was a hoax
They ignored masks and social distancing
They encouraged people not to vaccinate
They advocated crackpot cures
Hundreds of thousands died because of RW misinformation
The current Vice President encouraged people not to vaccinate as long as Trump was President. Now that is crackpot.
I said she “encouraged”. Big difference.She said no such thing
Why are you lying?
Post her exact quote and prove me wrong
She said no such thing
Why are you lying?
Post her exact quote and prove me wrong
You don’t see that as encouraging people not to get vaccinated??? Biden and Harris encouraged us to get vaccinated once they took over… I never thought of not taking the vaccine just because who was President. Why would she?Thanks for proving my point
What both Biden and Harris said was don’t take Trumps word on how effective the vaccines were but listen to what medical experts were sayingYou don’t see that as encouraging people not to get vaccinated??? Biden and Harris encouraged us to get vaccinated once they took over… I never thought of not taking the vaccine just because who was President. Why would she?
Oh Bullshit…. Trump was advocating the vaccine because the same people Trump was trusting the validation of the vaccine were the same people Harris-Biden would look to as well.What both Biden and Harris said was don’t take Trumps word on how effective the vaccines were but listen to what medical experts were saying
Due to the lies and misinformation being spread by Trump about COVID, that is wise advice
