A damning analysis of how covid data and science is politicised by the CDC et al.
Here are some quotes from the article:
"this is not because much of the data has not existed. it’s simply being cloistered and hidden."
"they should open their full data to everyone. now.
they should have done this from the start."
"it is astounding that such statements could be leveled by by anyone, much less MIT, while thinking them a criticism."
"it has taken another 18 months for the “expert narrative” to finally catch up as their narratives became too threadbare to to stop the light any longer."
"left to its own devices, the credentialed class seeks primarily to protect itself from challenge, to retain tenure and status and we have seen such on vivid display lo these 2 long years."

Some quotes from the referenced NYT article:
"“We want better, faster data that can lead to decision making and actions at all levels of public health”"
fast decision making... that's not based in reality?
"“The C.D.C. is a political organization as much as it is a public health organization,” said Samuel Scarpino, managing director of pathogen surveillance at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Pandemic Prevention Institute."
"The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective."
'misinterpreted' or 'correctly interpreted'? Without the data, we can never know!
- baremetal 5y agomy personal favorite quote from the article was "the busses are getting ready to depart. it’s time to throw some people under them."
- JohnDeHope 5y agoMy favorite quote... «"the experts" are not expert. they are merely in positions of power.»
