This week, The Wall Street Journal reports that Rochelle Walensky steps down as CDC director and warns the public to be on guard against misinformation and the politicisation of science.
Thanks again Maryanne. Oh Dear. I guess this is the pointy end of the catastrophe we all create when we abandon basic responsibilities. Right across western societies we, and/or our families and friends, have allowed laziness, overindulgence, gluttony and irresponsibility to take away our health. The result is an opportunistic response from medical and drug industries, promising the world and delivering little more than a thin veil of hope. We abandon what we must do and then hope for the best. Before we know it, the rescue industries learn trickery and fear envelopes the land. Afraid of dying, we hand over the reigns to greedy, power lusting despots who dress in nice suits and tell us what we want to hear. What work would these people have left to do? What importance could they possibly carry, if everyone pulled on their sneakers and started working out, began to eat fresh natural food, and learned to be selfless. Because we did not demand the buck stop with us, trillions of bucks filled the wrong pockets.
During a taped presentation in an academic medical setting, Walensky was met with a number of pointedly testy questions from attendees. The moderator stopped the barrage, and said words to the effect “...OK, there’s a lot of chatter about what went wrong. What went right?” A softball question, easy to hit out if the park. Walensky’s response? “The CDC on average published papers every other day.” Let’s say twice a week, or 100 papers in a 50-week year. These papers are not book reports, they are decision-making tools. Yet the Director could not point to a public health policy that was correct out of the box, or that withstood the test of time.
A lot of motion/activity but no progress. The public is asking “...by design?”
I'm inclined not to blame individuals here but try to understand why the CDC and many other similar organisations in comparable countries all made the same errors.
They all exaggerated the "infection fatality rate", the risk of "asymptomatic infection", the effectiveness of masks and quarenteen [of healthy people] and the value of vaccines.
I can't believe this was a coincidence but then I may be a "conspiracy theorist". What on earth happened?
Walensky is proud of her work deceiving the American public; Biden is proud of his criminal son, LGBQT are proud of their sexual orientation. I guess by comparison, the rest of us suffer from low self-esteem.
It’s become more and more clear, that the likes of Walensky knowingly and deliberately misled, not only the people of the US, but the whole world! It is my hope that I live to see COVID criminals like Walensky, brought to justice. Be that a long stay behind bars, or a short time at the end of a rope!

Echoing Bret Weinstein's journey to ontological shock, I have undergone a Damascene conversation in quantum stages over the past 3 1/2 years.
I never previously questioned vaccinations per se, nor public health advice in general.
Now my default position is to assume all medical information is a falsehood and try to find any proof for the opposite.
Similar to Karl Popper.
