My late older brother had a saying: “He could (screw) up a marble”.
Some things are hugely complex and in no way straightforward. For these things we make cautious, methodical men. Some things are so easy even a caveman can do it. The trick is in the proper allocation of resources - putting the right man on the job.
Fauxi is the epitome of the wrong guy. He’s a bullshitter, not a scientist or medical administrator. He’s consumed by politics and in love with the sound of his own voice (which coincidentally is fingernails on a chalkboard to me).
In his haste to sell COVID as a marble that even the proverbial caveman couldn’t mess up (Well, except for Orangeman Bad perhaps), he forgot the cardinal rule about talking the talk and (more importantly) walking the walk.
He failed, credibility for NAID (or whatever it’s called), and the CDC are in the toilet, and people are needlessly suffering.
At the end of the day he managed to screw up that marble and I hope he pays the price for failure.
What this means is that all their data is based on a very limited sample size of WSG tests being plugged into their model.
It’s all projections made with extreme confirmation bias.
