The problem for the scientific community is not that its leaders got the pandemic wrong. To err is human. It's that they abandoned:
1) Evidence-based medicine
2) Basic principles of public health
3) Open scientific discussion
4) Academic freedom

Proud to support @DrJBhattacharya's nomination. I have no doubt he can lead the bipartisan reform the @NIH needs.

To restore integrity and strength to medical research and science, I hope @Stanford's @DrJBhattacharya will be our next @NIHDirector.

There are people in American academia whose primary purpose is akin to the political commissars who policed Soviet academics against wrongthink. They operate by smearing, insinuation, and ostracization rather than reason, of which they have little.

Four years ago today, with @SunetraGupta and @DrJBhattacharya, we published the @gbdeclaration, advocating focused protection instead of school closures and other lockdowns.
Thank you all 940,000 co-signers. We were proven right‼️gbdeclaration.org/

“I have three children and I need to be able to see them in the eyes” Kulldorff told @JoyPullmann @FDRLST, when asked why he risked his position at Harvard and government research grants for publicly opposing lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

Good article by Prof @DrJBhattacharya and @MartinKulldorff in The Spectator.
Happy to report that my teenager read this in print copy.

"Fun" Fact:
I don't know a single academic in Africa (from around 15 countries) who doesn't think Covid response was a neocolonial catstrophe.
With around 5 noble exceptions, I don't know any academic researching Africa in the West who has made any public comment on this at all.

By avoiding lockdowns, Sweden had the lowest excess mortality in Europe.

Bittersweet to see children's charities finally find their voice. The harm was predictable and predicted and might have been stopped had it not been left for a vanishingly small number of us - @UsforThemUK and a few brave professionals and journalists - to stand against the lockdown juggernaut in spring 2020.
If any of these organisations feel like putting their newfound courage to the test, the unexplained excess death spike in younger cohorts and their parents would be a great place to start.

"The mask debate .. as well as debates over school closures, lockdowns, and vaccines, is settled in the minds of too many people on .. whether they view the given partisans of a position as good people, and not on the evidence provided." - @Leigh_Phillips

I despised GBD in 2020/21 while in trenches with people proned and vented for weeks with Covid. Many died.
Then one night I interacted with @DrJBhattacharya and expressed my disagreement.
Since then, I’ve re-evaluated my stance on Covid policies and realized that we were all 🐑.

Why is @anya1anya falsely claiming that "right-wing dark money" was behind our efforts to open schools? Is her goal to promote the right or to cleanse dark money??? It was actually just basic public health thinking and trying to protect children.

"Science has debate, and they squashed any debate"

This story by @davidzweig perfectly captures why Americans have lost trust in public health. Public health officials view the majority of Americans as the enemy or, at least, an intractable problem to be solved rather than fellow citizens to serve.

"Only way to fully understand how and why [covid] policies based on weak data were imposed for multiple years on millions of Americans will be through a bipartisan group of experts as part of a congressional commission."

How did it come to pass that the American left embraced lockdowns and trickle down epidemiology, while the Swedish left embraced protection of vulnerable people as pandemic strategies?

UK health secretary @MattHancock refused to properly protect high-risk nursing home residents from #COVID19, while railing in parliament against the @gbdeclaration call for better focused protection of older people.
