Here's a question - is there an example of someone who said that the pandemic was over/herd immunity reached in the last 12 months who has then admitted that they were wrong?

I'm not looking for the mealy-mouthed half explanations here. Lots of people have said "I was kind of wrong but also mostly right", that's not really admitting an error in my book

I am skeptical (pun intended) he was "simply reporting the CDC's ACTUAL lag-adjusted for that week", because otherwise he would have chosen to add some wording along the lines in the quoted tweet. https://twitter.com/Marco_Piani/status/1331202138614149120?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/332jajZoC8

See, that's a perfect example of no admission. "I was wrong but really the CDC was to blame" is pretty much the opposite of admitting a mistake

That's the best example I can think of. When I posted it on my other account (
@BadCOVID19Takes), one commentator said it was good for him admitting him. Like, what? He "admitted" that the CDC supposedly cooked the books for unknown political reasons, so it's not his fault.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

And by "best example," I mean "most over-the-top-non-admission."

Yeh that seems pretty common. No one who said that the pandemic was entirely over can admit that this is clearly what they meant and agree that it is demonstrably untrue
