It was even the same “expert”? that is wild.

The very same.

One interesting factor that gets missed is that this woman was one of the early voices of sanity, and was initially attacked and vilified for publicly stating that “unless you’re 65 or 70, this (the CCP Coronavirus) isn’t going to be a big problem for you.” And she kept on making sense as a heterodox voice in the academy in a lot of ways, opposing masks, school closures, “lockdowns” etc. The media (and the kooks) focused on this claim and have been studiously ignoring the rest for the past three years.

Why is that? It looks a lot like a classic red herring. Yeah, this off-the-wall catastrophism is easy to mock and makes her look ridiculous, so this is what the media focus on. And they can always count on the tin-foil hat brigade to signal boost the least credible claims, all of which has the effect of undermining the more reasonable criticisms of the covid dissidents.

It’s kind of like the Pizzagate foolishness. The media wanted to pretend that the alarm bells being sounded about exploitation and corruption in DC was all about the basement of one pizza joint that didn’t have a basement. Of course, they had to step over the likes of Barney Frank who got caught way back in the 80’s running a prostitution ring out of his DC apartment while a sitting member of congress. That stuff never ended, and it deserved (and still deserves) to be exposed and dealt with, but the easily fooled lemmings couldn’t help themselves, and followed the pizzagate scam right off of the cliff, taking the issue out of the news.

Almost like it’s being done on purpose.
