It often feels like the strong delusion that engulfed so much of the world, particularly those in politics and medicine, can never be broken. The accumulation of two years of conniving among politicians and self-imposed indoctrination among scientists has kept many of the brightest minds in both fields oblivious to the real science surrounding Covid-19.
Every now and then, we get to see moments of clarity as brave scientists come forward and acknowledge they were wrong. Such a stunning moment occurred during yesterday’s doctors roundtable, called The Curtain Close on Covid Theater, hosted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Dr. Joseph Fraiman, an emergency medicine physician in New Orleans, was part of the panel. He didn’t just admit that he was very wrong to oppose The Great Barrington Declaration. He apologized to three of the doctors who were present on the panel who had supported it.
“These policies were harmful. Initially, I was – I don’t want to say I was ignorant but it was irrelevant because there were lives on the line, I’m an emergency doctor. There were lives on the line. No, we have to do it. But if the policies didn’t make a big difference and they only caused harm then you have to start rethinking what we’re doing,” Fraiman said.
“You take the data that is clearly in front of us and if it is only causing harm and at best can only save a few we need to think about it. At best, an aggressive lockdown policy, imagine it reduced hospitalizations and death by 20%. 20% of deaths and hospitalizations were reduced. If that were the case, then maybe we could come here and debate. Is the harm caused by those lockdowns worth that benefit? And how do we negotiate that benefit through navigating through our freedoms?” Fraiman asked.
“The reality is hospitalizations and deaths were not reduced by 20% by any policies,” Fraiman said. “Because if they were we would have had studies at this point that would have consistently identified that. And that just has not occurred at all. So, I think as a society we have to decide if we want to continue a public policy that’s obviously producing large harm and offering only a minimal benefit at best. It’s currently unmeasurable.”
“Also, personally, I would like to apologize to the three other scientists sitting with me here on Zoom, the proponents of the [Great] Barrington Declaration,” Fraiman said. “Initially, I did think y’all were crazy, or dumb, or maybe you just didn’t understand what I was seeing. But I now realize — I’m sorry because I believe now you guys were correct. And you were correct from the beginning and I wish that more people, including myself, have realized that sooner. And I hope more people realize that soon enough.”

Haha, a doctor admitting that he was wrong. I guess the apocalypse HAS begun.
One thing I found out long ago about stepping up to take a stand, even or especially when everyone else is sitting down, is you never know what allies you will inspire to also rise.
Now that the fullness of time has plainly shown how DeSantis' freedom-oriented approach to this mass insanity was the correct one, is now taking the battle to the enemy. You don't win by staying on defense.
Bravo Zulu, Governor!
I am happy anytime someone who embraces leftist approaches sees the light and is willing to state publicly in a sincere way (as this physician did, IMO) that they were wrong.
It doesn’t excuse malfeasance which should be exposed and punished. But there was a lot of misfeasance, which we should try to forgive where that is possible, and accept their courage at facing their mistakes.
This is what YouTube removed right? Someone posted a video of this I believe and YouTube took it down.
I agree.
I’m still waiting for apologies from my MD close friends that recommended I take the jabs and booster(s).
Did they admit the mask is useless too?
Welcome to the party, pal (Dr. Joseph Fraiman).
Still there. Go to 1:13:10 for the apology.
Ja, Herr doktor Freiman...
Dr. Faiman spoke at this FDA panel too. There’s a ton of eye popping details spoken at this panel. Much more than simply what the title communicates. I hope you’ll all read it.

Fraiman, not Faiman.
Don’t hold your breath....................
It sounds like he admits that he was blinded by his direct involvement in treating people afflicted by this. He so desperately wanted a solution, that he believed what was offered. That belief meant closing his mind to alternatives and to the consideration of impact.
I believe this is all completely normal and expected human behavior. It is not good leadership, but is probably what leadership was counting on.
Now, the same pattern repeats in Ukraine.
Thank you, I look forward to watching this.
bkmkzz
now we deserve our pound of flesh.
not only get them to admit they were wrong, but now extract the costs they have inflicted on us.
