Political Science?

Remember when politicians swore by the CDC? We suppose once the ‘data and science’ stopped supporting their lockdown and draconian, authoritarian measures to use the virus as a weapon against Trump in November they moved on to another ‘model.’
As long as it’s politically advantageous to certain people for Americans to continue suffering this won’t change
CDC itself has admitted the following:
@JordanSchachtel
"Here's what CDC report admitted w/out saying it: -Lockdowns did nothing. 10s of MMs infected anyway. -US COVID epidemic was bad flu season, exacerbated by nursing home fiasco. -Not nearly as lethal or harmful as advertised. -Models wrong -No interventions did anything productive."
So what’s the deal with extended lockdowns, masks, and other BULLSH*T?
Oh, that’s right, it’s political. We said that up there.
@jfrankcarr
"But, wear your magical non-protective mask to symbolize your devotion to the religion of Science and your subservience to the State."

I got so sick of hearing “we have to follow the science...” a lefty slam against conservatives, and especially Christians.
But what kind of “science” changes every day?
MA seems to still be making noise that they may not want schools and colleges to open in the Fall. Idiots.
Need a link to that CDC report!
The City of Palo Alto, CA just announced the layoff of 25 teachers. But they DID hit the useless administrative overhead hard, too — they are laying off their Director of Sustainability. How’s that for hitting where it really hurts?
Delete the Hispanic cases from the coronavirus Texas reporting, and it’s a different story. Many, if not most, of them are illegally employed in meat packing plants or urban construction sites. Their employers should be ordered to reimburse the state for double all costs involved in their hospitalization. It should be the cost of paying slave wages for labor the past fifty years in Texas.
But it’s a socialist utopia!
Arriving at conclusions based on models is not science. Science is determined by applying the discipline of the Scientific Method to the hypothesis, replicating and reviewing the results and then reaching a logical conclusion. Scientific Method is science. Modeling is not science!
They can’t say that.
I think you're giving these fraudsters too much credit. It is actually more accurate to say:
Arriving at a conclusion and then basing the model on that conclusion is not science.
It is outright fraud, and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
Yep! I wanna see it, not read about it third-hand!
I was always taught that the scientific method was...
1. Observe- “People are getting sick and dying. Yikes!”
2. Hypothesize - “Based on plugging rough numbers into a model I created it looks as if 3% of people who catch this virus will die and if we lock everyone down it will be a better outcome.”
3. Measure - “Well, after looking at the actual figures it appears that our hypothesis/model was wrong. Let us try to figure out what we did wrong.”
4. Refine your hypothesis and re-measure - “After taking into account the results of our measurements, our new hypothesis is that it is only a really bad flu and there was never a need to lock everyone down. Remeasuring has confirmed our new hypothesis.”
5. Come to a conclusion - “The politicians done goofed.”
There is definitely a time and a place for modeling. It is a very useful tool to help come up with an accurate hypothesis. It is to be used BEFORE you start measuring actual results or coming to conclusions.
Considering schools and colleges are bastions of leftist indoctrination, that might be a very good thing.

Yup !
They have been monetizing medical conditions at least since the days of AIDS for the benefit of themselves and their patrons.
The data on he Corona virus has been corrupted from the beginning. Many (Mostly Rat!) state government data at best can be thought of as inconsistent at worst full of shenanigans. Difficult to say what’s what about it. Time will clarify. I think I can confidently say it’s not Black Plague.
Does anyone have the web link to the CDC report. Would like to download before it is disappeared..
