White coat supremacy -- a major threat to freedom and democracy in America.
Francis Collins, the first appointed National Institutes of Health director to serve more than one president, stepped down on December 19, leaving behind a record open to question. For example, in an October 8, 2020 email, Collins told Dr. Anthony Fauci, “there needs to be a quick and devastating public takedown of its premises. I don’t see that on line yet. Is it underway?”
Collins’ target was the Great Barrington Declaration, signed by more than 900,000 epidemiologists and public health scientists to show concern about the damaging physical and mental health impact of government COVID policies. Those policies, the signers contend, should focus on the most vulnerable while letting others continue normal lives.
The Barrington signatories included biophysicist Mike Leavitt, professor of structural biology at Stanford and the 2013 winner of the Nobel Prize for chemistry. Stanford Medical School professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya also signed on, joined by Dr. Martin Kulldorf, professor of medicine at Harvard.
These experts are every bit as qualified, or more so, than Collins. Even so, the NIH boss called them “fringe epidemiologists” and wanted Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), to deliver a hit piece.
On October 19, 2020, MedPage Today posted a piece headlined “Who Are the Scientists Behind the Great Barrington Declaration?” As the article noted, “All three have advocated against lockdown measures since the start of the pandemic.” This assumed that lockdowns were an unalloyed benefit for the people.

NIH and CDC are corrupt.
DeSantis applied the recommendations of the Great Barrington proclamation in Fla. The most vulnerable were helped first. Fla was open for business. Schools never closed. Fla did as well as lockdown states without the economic and social devastation.
Much like the GB doctors, DeSantis is viciously attacked because he exposes the idiot blue governors who followed f face Fauci’s directions. I look forward to Rand Paul asking f face Fauci why he suppressed the GBP.

“A quick and devastating takedown”. I must have been out that day when they taught this as an aspect of scientific method.
“I look forward to Rand Paul asking f face Fauci why he suppressed the GBP.”

It is truly sad that Paul and just a few other Republican senators oppose the tyranny.
The good guys against tyranny:
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska).
If I missed any doing meaningful work, please add to the list.
Bump.
The disfunctional chaos of the fedgov covid policy is a result of separating Authority from Responsibility. In management theory, it’s one of the worst mistakes there are.
“Authority” in management is the ability to make decisions. “Responsibility” is self explanatory.
“He who makes the decision accepts responsibility for the outcome” is a rule in management.
But, separate decision authority from responsibility of the outcome, and you will always have chaos.
Always.
Fauci and Collins have authority, i.e., masks or not, lockdowns, schools, but no responsibility for the outcomes of those policies. Hence, chaos.
Who’s fault? Whover is above them. Whoever gave them the authority without holding them responsible.
It’s a happy place where all bureaucrats want to be. Have decision authority without responsibility. Happy, happy, happy bureaucrat.
