“ Francis Collins was a poor NIH director. He made false promises about the value of genomics and continued a Byzantine grant mechanism without ever assessing it properly. He tried to stifle coronavirus debate, and that might be because he was complicit in the viral origin. History should hold leaders who failed (Fauci, Walensky, Murthy, Collins, Jha, Brixs, Adams) accountable and not lavish them with false awards. I hope the House continues to investigate. I suspect the rot runs deeper. “ https://www.drvinayprasad.com/p/francis-collins-ad...

hclasvegas: History should hold leaders who failed (Fauci, Walensky, Murthy, Collins, Jha, Brixs, Adams) accountable...

First, this was bullsh1t yesterday and it's still bullsh1t today. Prasad's a moron. Collins specifically testified: I made those comments in the context of what it was like in March or April of 2020. People have forgotten just how devastating the situation was with trailer trucks pulling up outside the morgue because the morgue couldn't handle all the dead bodies, thousands of people dying every day.

I am a public health person, I'm a physician. I swore the Hippocratic Oath. I was speaking about myself in that quote. For me trying to make a decision or contribute to a decision about mitigation measures, my number one -- basically my sole concern had to be saving lives. ...

Keep in mind, in terms of the harms that were done that you've described with prolonged closures of schools, those were state and local decisions. The government made general recommendations. States had to decide what to do.


Also, where's Trump on your list of "leaders who failed"?

Nobody was responsible for more American pandemic deaths than Trump. And as you'll no doubt recall, he was the president when schools and businesses were closed.

LOL, no.

First, it's not like we haven't had flu emergencies in this country before. Saying "I don't know what to do" is a damning indictment of the public/political health apparatus.

More BS:
Keep in mind, in terms of the harms that were done that you've described with prolonged closures of schools, those were state and local decisions. The government made general recommendations. States had to decide what to do.

The CDC and NIH were doing their level best to push the message that closure is the only thing to do.

Nobody was responsible for more American pandemic deaths than Trump.

A lie from you. More died under Biden than Trump, and Biden had the vaccines that Trump left him.

hclasvegas: "History should hold leaders who failed...accountable...

LOL

The Poster Boy for covid failure is Trump...

"Study indicates Donald Trump was the main anti-vaccination influencer on Twitter."

"Trump chose to receive his covid vaccine in private an acknowledgement of the unpopularity of the vaccine with large swaths of his base."

"I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate." ~Trump

And of course...

"People in counties that voted strongly for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election were nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19 as people in pro-Biden counties."

And, "Excess mortality was significantly higher for Republican voters than Democratic voters after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults."

And I know the "hold 'em responsible crowd," doesn't want Trump held responsible, simply because Trump hates all the same people they hate.

you are very special common, trump should have known that Fauci, Collins, Birx, etc were all lying self dealing grifters ? Did a sharp guy like you know that in 2020 ? Were those who questioned the govt grifters vilified, demonized, and canceled? Keeping you informed has become a full time job bro. Carry on.

I see you've started your weekend bender early.

Trump assembled his Covid response team. Trump selected those folks himself. And he often ignored them by refusing to wear a mask, telling people they didn't need to get vaccinated, concealing the fact that he knew weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and “more deadly than even your strenuous flus,” and yet he repeatedly played it down publicly.

Trump said Covid would just disappear, like magic. He said we had a lot of cases because we did too much testing and that if we did less testing we'd have fewer cases. He said injecting bleach might be a cure and that despite no evidence they were effective treatments, encouraged Americans to take an anti-malaria drug and a horse dewormer.

So, no, I'm not interested in your Vinay Prasad bullsh1t, but thanks anyway.

Try to focus bud, is there any way Trump or Biden could have known that the three amigos were lying self dealing grifters ? Why does everything have to be political with you, where do you think covid originated ? Thanks.

This is hilarious. Why do you fall for so many taken out of context quotes or stories that require a reader to willfully ignore information that runs counter to the nutty story they are selling? Are you completely unable to tell when people are taking advantage of you?

That is why your friends called you Harold.
