Unfortunately, @JeremyFarrar won the UK pandemic policy fight. Now he is trying to evade responsibility for the biggest public health mistake in history, with too many COVID deaths among the old and workers, and enormous collateral public health damage on children and adults. 2/5
Moreover, @JeremyFarrar is making false accusations against @SunetraGupta. Either he is deliberately distorting her science, or, he never bothered to read her papers and the @gbdeclaration, instead basing his slander on the inaccurate writings in e.g. the @guardian. 3/5
Scientific slander is always bad. It is extra concerning when done by @JeremyFarrar, the director of one of the world's biggest funders of medical science. It silences other scientists who depend on him for funding. Dangerous for science and public health. 4/5
One lesson from this pandemic is that heads of research funding agencies, such as Anthony Fauci and @JeremyFarrar, should not set public health policy. It stifles critically important scientific discourse, as scientists do not want to contradict the funders they depend on. 5/5
Anybody in the UK should be able to see the @gbdeclaration for what it was by now. We have basically replaced the ambiguous "shielding" with vaccines that not only "shield" but reduce transmission and extended coverage far further through society than shielding was proposed...
...yet we see our hospitals and ICUs again filling, with 20-50 year olds. Even if shielding had miraculously protected the vulnerable (it obviously wouldnt) we would have lost so many young and still overwhelmed our hospitals chasing herd immunity.pic.twitter.com/YjIkSv1xUd
Didn't Gupta say it would be over May last year? Didn't Heneghan delete some of his tweets about the pandemic last year?
