Our So-Called Health Experts Are Ignoring The Data
"There are none so blind as those who will not see."
A recent interview hit home how health bureaucrats are seemingly out of touch with real-world data. Tucker Carlson of Fox News spent an hour with Dr Scott Atlas, author of the new book. A Plague Upon Our House.
Dr Atlas was a Professor of Neuroradiology at Stanford and also a Health Policy Advisor. In August 2020, he was asked to join the White House Covid Task Force by President Trump. You know the one that regularly trotted out the infamous Dt Anthony Fauci and Dr Deborah Birk, who seemed to gain notoriety for her flashy scarves.
Dr Atlas resigned after only four months because he was constantly butting heads with the other members. Atlas was amazed at the lack of critical thinking by these supposed top-level scientists. As he described it, "There was a shocking level of incompetence." He also asked himself, "Where was everybody?" meaning the true scientists.
Dr Atlas looked at the data and found that lockdowns and masks don't work. He compared countries doing things differently and knew that it was prudent to take a page out of their strategy. Instead, he was thwarted at every turn.
One of the countries that Atlas checked out was Sweden. Comparing countries that locked down their populace with ones that didn't, such as Sweden, revealed no difference in the outcome. In fact, when comparing Sweden to New York since the pandemic started, the Swedes did much better.
Sweden was better than most countries in Europe in deaths per million, and it had half the rate of America. This was even though Sweden did not institute early treatment or preventative measures similar to what took place in India. If we look at the graph above, Sweden's death rate essentially went to zero by July. This was unrelated to a vaccination program as the rate of those fully "vaccinated" was less than 30%.
So what are the health advocates actually doing? A cursory look at worldwide data and research papers would alert the governmental agencies that they needed to change strategy. It's like they are wearing blinkers and can't see what is before them.
A current case is that of Taiwan. The country actually publishes accurate data and is not afraid to tell it like it is. Thanks to Steve Kirsch for alerting me to this short clip.
In the video below, Dr Peterson Pierre pretty much sums up what is going on with respect to the “vaccines”. They don’t work and are causing all manner of side effects. So why do most health bureaucrats ignore the facts? Are they wedded to an ideology that they can't see what is staring them in the face? Are they that stupid? Or are they in a trance-like stupor and can't change their ways? Well, if you read Dr Atlas' book, you may think all three and you have to wonder at the lack of critical thinking.
Ignoring the data leads to unnecessary loss of life. The bottom line is that the health care of a nation should not be in the hands of bureaucrats but in the hands of frontline doctors. Many of these people making decisions have never seen or treated a Covid patient. It’s time for them to move on and let rational doctors make policy decisions.
