1. Would love to see some some data from legitimate news or science source for your thinking on this. They were wrong. Texas was at less than 15% vaccination a few weeks ago..and Abbot opened the state up fully. No hospital overflow. Did they reach natural herd immunity? No. Not a single word about hospital overflow. 2. They absolutely did predict that and they were wrong. Here's a science article about it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7447267/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7447267/ 3. 'dumb complaint' I disagree. If this was a serious disease like the black plague this would kill people. If Covid was serious you would have just sentenced people to their death. But you're fine with it either because you like killing people or Corona virus is not serious. Peoe are digging their heels in on this narrative because if it turns out not to be true then they look like fools. Science doesn't even matter anymore.

Quoting an article by Ioannidis on this subject is indeed proof that science doesn't matter, after the cherrypicking job he did in Santa Clara.

  MD PhD from Stanford with decades of experience and infectious disease and epidemiology? Can you tell me which experts and scientists are the right ones to believe that don't contradict your narrative?

    You might try a few closer to home at Tulane - Mac Hyman (who I’ve had the privilege of taking classes with and who invited Nick Hengartner of Los Alamos who did the R ~ 5.7 paper here a couple months before the pandemic) and Susan Hassig. Or Peter Hotez at Baylor. I am not the only one who is angry with Ioannidis over what he did.

      Do you disagree with the swedish epidemiology team Anders Tegnell and his team? What about Norway, Texas, Florida and all of their epidemiology team? We have a situation here where people are picking and choosing experts based on their own narrative.
