I don’t understand what your motivation is for saying this. Why do you think Bill is not to be asked these questions? Do you think he would twist or misrepresent facts? Do you think somehow funding so much research makes him untrustworthy?
- refurb 6y agoOh, they can certainly ask Bill these questions, but I would say there are a ton of people who have far more expertise in infectious diseases than him. If they were asking him about funding these efforts, then yeah, he’d be the go to guy. But asking him about the science?
- yalogin 6y agoHe is not about the details of the research, in the whole article he was simply talking about it as a manager who understands what he is leading. I am sorry but the way you phrased those statements feels as if you are convinced he is lying and has nefarious intent.
- refurb 6y agoHe makes the statement "most of the tests are crap". That seems like a technical question to me.
- pteraspidomorph 6y agoHe was talking about the performance of the procedure as a whole. He's saying most tests are unacceptably slow in the US because the labs doing the testing aren't paid less for being slow, so they take in more customers than they can handle reliably.
- refurb 6y agoActually, he blames reimbursement and has this to say "Because the federal government sets that reimbursement system." That is not an accurate statement. Yes, the government sets reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid, but not for private insurance which is ~60% of Americans.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoExactly when it takes 2+ weeks to hear back about a test it's pretty much pointless as the person is probably either close to recovering or in the hospital.
