Any decision-making based on fear rather than science, evidence and reason is not good decision-making. There must be a voice — or a body — of reason capable of overriding poor decisions when emotions and panic threaten to take hold.
Medical professionals and ordinary citizens around the world did speak out, often loudly, but their voices were drowned out by the hurricane of what may ultimately be remembered as one of the greatest public health failures of modern times. The foreseeable consequences are still unfolding.
Those who occupied positions of power during that period will be judged by history. As for Fauci... history will have its say.
Dr. Marine sounds like a wonderful and honest doctor, and there is the problem. Public health in the U.S. at least is a government organization. Its decisions are politically, not scientifically, motivated. The departments staffed by the same career bureaucrats who relish dictating exactly how citizens should live their lives while waiting to collect their fat pensions. They think the public is dumb, too, so they want directives, not nuance.
We desperately need change at the CDC, were so hopeful when RFK Jr initially brought in his team. (BTW I grew up about two miles away from the CDC building.)
I can see why Marine didn't get the job, far too much 'for the people approach' at the expensive of the system and pharma
