‘I don’t make decisions by myself’: L.A. County Health Director Barbara Ferrer responds to criticism of her credentials
KTLA ^ | 05/16/2020 | Kristina Bravo

She holds a doctorate in social welfare and masters degrees in public health and education.

Dr. Stephanie Hall, the chief medical officer of USC’s Keck Hospital, acknowledged some initial concern among health care professionals that Ferrer was not a medical doctor like Fielding. But having worked with Ferrer on the county’s COVID-19 response, Hall applauded Ferrer’s work with her deputies and other experts.

“I found her to be incredibly straightforward and honest. … When some people want to lead … sometimes they add a spin or try to make it appear they know more than they do,”

She doesn’t seem like a bad person but she is milking this for all its worth. The majority of the deaths have occurred in nursing homes, so again why are us regular folk stuck at home being forced to stay home. We dont live in nursing homes, we are fine, open the damn city up already so we can go to the mall, restaurant, etc etc

The left has the American economy by the throat and isn’t going to let go.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

All these filthy democrat politicians rely on some pseudo “scientists”..svengalis, Rasputins, charlatans etc..and then claim they are following the “science”.

“She holds a doctorate in social welfare and masters degrees in public health and education.”

And never had a course remotely resembling science.

The irony is that the states suffering the most are democrat-controlled and likely to go to the dems in November anyway.

Let’s be clear. She’s part of the side that is KILLING people. MANY TIMES more people than would have ostensibly been saved by WuFlu.

More people will die because of traumatic economic impact on their lives, loss of jobs, income, savings, investments, and the ensuing hit on the 401K’s that will ensue. (Related: I wonder how much stock China and its proxies bought since Virus Day?).

Every one of these people are no different...NONE!...from Stalin, from Hitler, from Mao. And I don’t use it in analogy, but DIRECT COMPARISON.

I am seething, and yes, this is the biggest attack against the United States in its history...INCLUDING THE CIVIL WAR. For roughly half this country wants to commit murder-suicide: Murder of conservatives and suicide of the rest.

Now,I’m going to fight this as much as I can, for as long as I can, but realism is realism. The Democrats finally hit the Mother Lode of the Destruction of Humanity.

Sorry, long rant. But it didn’t take much today.

and probably not a coincidence, the subject of her credentials originally came from rightwing blogs like Gateway Pundit and Flopping Aces. Unbelievably, it got picked up by the MSM.

... Health Director that’s not a doctor? That’s nuts

Or a DNP - Doctorate in Nursing Practise
Should have very powerful practical insights into Health Care
Practical would be very helpful right now

But yes, the position demands Doctorate level understanding

in college, I would make money by tutoring the pre-med students in their (required) mathematics courses.

A lot of them got into medical school, but I was convinced that they couldn’t balance their own checkbooks.

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to be a medical doctor, that’s for sure.

I started out in Nuclear Engineering,
never saw a math or physics class I couldn’t ace,
then I went to Medical School, where memorization skills are at a premium. The first year was... hard,
but as problem solving skills came to the forefront, it became much easier.

My problem with Director Ferrer is that she seems lack common sense at times...

She ordered people to wear masks on LA County beaches...I find that order to be silly...

On Watter’s World tonight, I just saw a video of Mayor Deblasio handing out masks to people who were in a New York City park. Have any of these experts ever heard of breathing the fresh air?

fauci has an MD. That does NOT qualify him to make decisios, either. They are and should be expert advisors, not decisions makers.
