    Crazy idea - if anyone says that the pandemic is going to be over soon, but has said it BEFORE, ask them why we should believe them this time aroundhttps://twitter.com/JHowardBrainMD/status/1434486111825547265 …

    Again I hope she’s right. But given her track record of false optimism, why do journalists keep interviewing her? (To her credit, she does admit she had been wrong about a few things in the same article.) pic.twitter.com/kSlJd7PXTF

        She was so obviously wrong about the CDC's change in mask policy back in May (which the overwhelming majority of epidemiologists disagreed with), and so adamant in her position, that it was hard to take her views seriously after that.

        I mean what’s your prediction? Seems like with how infectious Delta is vast majority of population will be either fully vaccinated or have been exposed. Why do you think this will go on into next year (in countries with high vaccination rates)

        Because people want to hear it. And they seek solace by finding storytellers who tell them the narratives they badly need to hear

        He also quoted Bhattacharyra without mentioning the GBD. Or his India call. Or his DeSantis work.

        I don’t think it is over but I think so many people will be vaccinated or infected that we will no longer see hospitalization and death waves like this again.

        Some folks seem to take comfort in seeing how our species has adapted to other respiratory diseases in the past, but fail to note what “natural selection” actually entails in terms of individuals who are selected against. And the disease is a game changer for cancer/transplants.

        Bro...this you? You know, the article that has been debunked by the hospital itself. Maybe you should delete the tweet before you cast aspersions. NB: **not** a proponent of Ivermectin here.https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1433956243622690817?s=19 …

        Just got dressed down by a USPS employee while trying to drop off a pre-paid return package - something about a label and tape. Rookie mistake, easy fix. I thought: "Why is she so grouchy?" And then it dawned on me: she's a USPS employee.
