This person seriously damaged the reputation of the Baylor College of Medicine.
He is wrong about everything.
This is not Monday morning quaterbacking.
Anyone who has followed me from the beginning knows that I never changed my position on any of this starting in early March, 2020, when I calculated the correct IFR showing the “experts” had it 40x too high.
This doctor is doing nothing but trying to scare people into lockdowns, school closures, etc., by talking about deaths that were grossly inflated. He talked about teachers being “ terrified to go back to work and appropriately so”. There was never any reason for teachers to be terrified of going back to work any more than they are every year when the flu has its winter season (coinciding almost exactly with school in session). In fact, the data on childhood transmission never showed that it was anything but, much less so than flu. Children just don’t transmit this virus very efficiently and there are good reasons for it but I promised myself I would make a non-technical post for once.
Teachers got full pay while they were at home sitting it out. But many weren’t home. They were making money teaching groups of children from rich families. It’s all documented now. While Randi Weingarten was influencing the CDC to keep schools closed so her union membership could get paid while they weren’t working, many of them were doing the same thing they were sent home for. And you wonder why we are getting ready to go into a recession as inflation rages… Do you see the connection? RW is the President of the Teachers Union and has her members give to the Democratic Party every year. She reminds Rochelle Walensky’s boss in the White House of that fact every chance she gets and expects something in return. So when she goes down to Atlanta to talk to Dr. Walensky, she demands the schools stay closed so her members can continue to enjoy their paid holiday. The members like this and so they keep voting RW in. Everybody wins… except for the taxpayers …and the kids who can’t afford to pay for private tutoring by the teachers who are “at home”. They will be affected negatively for the rest of their (shorter) lives. I didn’t know that it was this damaging to miss this much school but Dr. B explained it in great detail in one of our videos. From ABC- a liberal network…
Hotez proposes “ONE case per 100,000 or 1 million residents” (listen carefully at 2:55).
The degree of stupidity associated with this was mindboggling then and it still is.
One of the biggest problems during the last few years has been the news media’s failure to interview dissenting voices like mine. Why didn’t PBS (the PUBLIC Broadcasting System that we all pay for), have someone on with this person to debate him, to call out all of the idiotic things he was saying, so the American people could get a differing view. Judy Woodruff does the best she can to press him but she doesn’t know anything about medical science- why should she? The producers of her show on PBS should have gotten someone on there who knew something, someone who could call out this fear monger trying to make himself look important (or was he doing it all to make the White house look bad. He mentioned his colleagues saying they had a “Nov 3rd plan”. That slipped out and he tried to fix it but that was telling.) He and others who pushed for lockdowns killed a lot of people and if they were doing it just so they could win an election, they should spend the rest of their lives in prison. Being stupid is not a crime or we’d all be behind the walls.
The reason the US led in cases and deaths worldwide is very simple. It will be ranked #1 on the list of the “25 Most Important Slides of the Pandemic” in my book “Heroes and Villains: The COVID-19 Book of Lists” coming out in about a month. You’ll be able to pre-order it in about 2 weeks. Dr. Michael Yeadon, whom you should be familiar with, accepted my invitation to be a guest contributor and he came through like you wouldn’t believe. I asked a number of others to be guest contributors from “the Narrative” side and none have agreed so far. They’re all trying to change history, saying they were against masks and lockdowns the whole time, etc. Thank god for videotape.
Who in their right mind thinks the US doctors, with all the resources we have at our fingertips and the education we have in this country, could perform the worst in the world in a technical/medical matter like this? If you believe that’s possible, you need to travel more.
I’m not going to let these evil people get away with this. That’s why I wrote the book.
here’s the video. It’s only 7:11 long.
