Physician, heal thyself.
Outgoing CDC Director Rochelle Walensky departed with a warning that we should beware of politicized science and misinformation.
She should know.
In recent months, we’ve seen a lot of public-health folks quietly rowing back their once-apocalyptic COVID advice and asking for forgiveness for the mistakes they made.
Well, to make mistakes is human, and to forgive them is divine.
But it’s easier to forgive human mistakes that aren’t pronounced using the Voice of God.
And deliberate misrepresentations don’t count as mistakes. Those count as lies, because that’s what they are.
In the early days of COVID, Anthony Fauci told the public that masks didn’t work.
...
The “masks don’t work” line was then followed almost immediately by an equally draconian pro-masking rule.
And this wasn’t based on science either (there still wasn’t any), but anyone who disagreed was accused of “spreading misinformation” and treated as an accomplice to the deaths of old people everywhere.
Plus, as this was happening, then New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was actually killing grandmas by putting still-infectious COVID patients in New York nursing homes. He was made a hero of CNN, of course.

Ex-Biden aide Jen Psaki hit for coercing tech companies to censor conservatives by federal judge
The injunction says that Psaki began pushing social-media platforms to ‘censor COVID-19 misinformation’ in May 2021
Judge’s ruling could be ‘most consequential’ opinion on the 21st century: Clay Travis
OutKick founder Clay Travis reacts to a federal judge’s ruling over the White House’s communication with Big Tech on ‘Fox & Friends.’
Former White House press secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki was named several times by a federal judge who is temporarily preventing White House officials from meeting with tech companies about social media censorship.
The injunction said that Psaki “publicly began pushing Facebook and other social-media platforms to censor COVID-19 misinformation” on May 5, 2021.
“At a White House Press Conference, Psaki publicly reminded Facebook and other social-media platforms of the threat of ‘legal consequences’ if they do not censor misinformation more aggressively,” it continued.
The injunction by Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty was in response to recent lawsuits from Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general. The suits allege that the White House coerced or “significantly encourage[d]” tech companies to suppress free speech during the COVID-19 pandemic.
