wow.  good for you.  Everyones opinions are shaped by their experiences.  That's why I seek and have lived very diverse experiences  Yours don't seem to have much relevance to virology, pandemic mitigation, epidemiology, infectious disease or medicine.

Oh gosh no, I feel like I was pretty clear on that in my reply.   I would say my experiences tend toward thoughts centered on leadership and human behavior.   

 

The problem with Faucci wasn't his genius in virology, epidemiology, infectious disease or medicine--he was uniquely qualified to speak at length about the nature of the virus and it's potential.  

 

The problem was his inability to inspire or articulate key message points on a consistent basis, and thus creating confusion on the pandemic mitigation side of the ledger.  When the political factions are at war, and you're the person in the hot seat, its best to stand up and take charge.  He didn't, couldn't, or wouldn't.  Seems to me if the world is at risk, and he wasn't up to the challenge, surely there must have been another person to step into that role, understanding of course that would have neutered him in some respects.   

 

To be candid, it seems like the same problem you had with your suggestion and the CEO response.  If the plan was to save lives, it actually sounds sort of...sad... that it was scuttled due to concerns about the likability of the CEO, shrugged shoulders and "not how it works".   Maybe next time, skip the email and call the guy, Doc.  Better yet, a face to face meeting can pay dividends.

news flash:  I neither need nor want your help.  And if your mindset was prevalent in schools around me, I'd definitely go private.  12000 kids is no big deal tho...

Please stop pretending you worked in the medical field. A comment like this can not come from someone who understands how death rates work, but let me ask you howany of those kids would have been saved by vaccine?

36 YEARS AGO TODAY, REAGAN UTTERED HIS MOST POWERFUL WORDS: ‘Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall!’

More than just a speech, Reagan’s words presented an America determined to allow the world’s nations to embrace freedom. Not through war but via a robust American military to create mutually assured destruction, bankrupting the USSR, and constant offers of peace; compare that to foreign policy today:

With all the money printing before and after Covid and a proxy war we're winning at the expense of one of our biggest enemies (and by their doing), the Fed seems to have threaded the needle:
