Dr. Birx: CDC at 'inflection point,' expects real change following watershed admission
FoxNews.com ^ | 8/21/2022 | Peter Aitken

Former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx praised the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its rare admission of missteps in how the agency responded to COVID-19.

"A lot of directors would have just tried to tweak [it], and tweaking the agency at this point was not going to be successful," Birx said during an appearance on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "This is an inflection point."

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky last week ordered a "reset" of the agency, which will focus on creating a faster dissemination of information and response to new health threats. Some moves include internal staffing changes and steps that will streamline the data release process.

If we can do it in the CDC, we can do it with the F B I.

Unelected bureaucrats should never make what is the equivalent of law. That’s exactly what the bureaucrats at the CDC did during the pandemic and presently continues.

Everyone needs to beware of the opinions of doctors. Note that I wrote ‘opinions’. That is because quite often there is not research that has been repeatedly proven to backup statements made by doctors. Think for a moment about what was known about the coronavirus that began the pandemic. Not only did doctors know very little about the coronavirus, doctors to this day know very little about viruses. Period. Yes, they know more today than ten years ago, and fifty years ago and all of history, but they do not fully know everything. If they did there wouldn’t be a need for continued research.

Doctors are not science. Science is never settled. In fact, real science, as in the type of science that uses the classical scientific method, is very difficult to do because of confirmation bias. It’s not that there is a problem with the scientific method, it is a problem that every human being has, including doctors. Just as important, most doctors real are not scientists, and even the ones that are scientists are not scientists 24 hours per day. Everyone is guided by their personal belief systems and emotions.

If you personally know any serious scientist, then you know how dedicated they are in the pursuit of knowledge. That comes at an expense. Their focus on science comes at the expense of other equally important worldly pursuits. For instance, a doctor focused on studying something as small as a virus is not focused on human psychology or child development. These are enormous domains of knowledge which have major divisions in study and men who are just as intelligent as medical doctors or virologists spend their entire lives learning and conducting scientific research. The point to be made is a virologist is not an expert on the effects of masking children. Exactly what does it mean in child development and the long term consequences to mask a child? There are zero scientific studies for the long term effects because this situation has never occurred and not enough time has passed.

Doctors and scientists are rarely schooled in a serious manner about ethics, morality or theology. Doctors are entrenched in the study of their own problems domain. A course or two in ethics does not make one an expert. Each of the aforementioned domains require a lifetime of study to become an so-called expert, but even after a lifetime there remains unanswered questions and successive generations continue to study.

I can continue identifying knowledge domains that doctors and scientists have little or no knowledge; for instance, economics. But I will halt. Doctors and scientists are valuable because of what they know. They need to control their arrogance in areas they do not know. They are human after all, and they are fallible.

By the way, just in … Anthony FauxChi just announced his resignation! Remember he WAS science.

Real numbers? There might not be any. Things were mis-reported from the very beginning.

All of the unelected bureaucracies is just Congress’s way of avoiding responsibility.

Sounds good on the surface, but I don’t trust the government to do the right thing especially under pinko-Dim control.

I am waiting for anyone at the alphabet soup agencies to admit that their relationship with big pharma needs a reset.
