Interesting article which reminds me of CDC response to AIDS in the 80s. After a friend taught a class in report writing to the CDC in Atlanta he told me that all the reporting on AIDS was grossly exaggerated base upon his conversations with his students. All his students were doing AIDS research and they told him that if you couldn’t relate your work to AIDS then you would be unemployed.
Shortly thereafter I read an interview with the head of the CDC. He spent most of the interview explaining the direness of the AIDS threat and how it was inevitable that it would breakout into the heterosexual population. After several rounds of his dodging question after question, he finally admitted the chances of a breakout were small. He claimed they only had the best interests of the population at heart but it was clear that they only wanted to ensure their future federal funding.
Fifty years later, same story?
the medical industry has been hoping to make another AIDS out of COVID.
billions for research institutes, university hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry.
touting 35 cent pills and the fact that as soon as summer hits its gone in not in any of their best interests
You got it. Fauci was an AIDS researcher who got money and power from that earlier fraud.
EXACTLY same story. I’ve posted about this here before. There was obviously a consensus amongst the (Liberal) medical community that if the public thought AIDS was “a gay disease” the funding for research wouldn’t be there. In short order, we saw the always-obliging media pushing stories about “heterosexual AIDS.” Similarly, COVID-19 has, through the efforts of the media, become not just a disease mainly imperiling the elderly and those with compromised immune systems and pre-existing conditions, but a scourge that threatens everyone. Lately, I’ve seen a bunch of stories about children with illnesses that “might” be COVID-19 related. You have to read a few paragraphs down to get into the “might” and the “maybe” and the “possibly.”
Neil Ferguson has a history of predicting 100x-1000x more dead from diseases than actually happened. His Imperial disease model predicted 2% of the entire population dying. It isn’t even 0.2%. But he was WILDLY off in the past.
