This is a lie. The CDC says as of today there are 1,460 children with Covid listed anywhere on their death certificate, and for about a third of those, Covid is not listed as the underlying cause of death. cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr

I'm in awe of 's efforts. Despite no formal training, she manages to be consistently more scientifically accurate, thoughtful and empathetic than a team of professional epidemiologists in her treatment of Covid paediatric deaths in the US.

One of my biggest disappointments is seeing many of the people who were proven correct on Covid policy like I was, now being so engaged in Covid conspiracy theories.

An unidentified man wearing a mask on the subway shot someone this morning. Criminals here in NYC are encouraged to hide their identities behind masks and that’s what they do. Normalizing masks was a huge fucking mistake.

Update, the entire class wore masks. This University allows individual professors to mandate masks in their classrooms and that’s what happened here.

A judge just prohibited the enforcement of Gavin Newsom’s appalling and disgraceful Covid misinformation bill.

“The inadvertent exaggeration of C19 deaths & long COVID leads not only to misplaced policy decisions, such as new mask mandates & booster recommendations for 6-month-old babies, but also to a needlessly enduring climate of fear.”

The junior Covid “expert” attempts to use confounded observational data, like an uncontrolled study with hairdressers calling their clients asking if they got Covid, to contradict the gold standard: randomized controlled trials that consistently fail to show that masks work well.

This junior Covid “expert” calls me an “anti-masker” (thanks). I used to think masks work well too & supported them until vaccines were widely available. But the real world data & RCTs are pretty clear that masks haven’t really worked, so I admit my mistake. It’s called integrity

Either the Governor of New York doesn’t know that Covid vaccines don’t prevent Covid transmission, or she’s lying to justify the horrific discrimination against unvaccinated people. Both scenarios are indefensible and disqualifying.
Quote Tweet
A NYS Supreme Court Judge has deemed the #COVID19 vaccine mandate for health care workers "null and void" saying @GovKathyHochul and @HealthNYGov overstepped their authority by mandating a vaccine that’s not included in NYS Public Health Law. Today, I asked the Governor about it:

I don’t think the people who pushed for Covid shot mandates have much of a right to criticize “anti-vaccine” sentiment, because this sentiment was largely born from these mandates.

There’s a constant insistence that the reason we don’t need more Covid mandates now is because of high population immunity. But the reason we have high population immunity is because Covid mandates didn’t work.

Today’s mail is the new book from one of the bravest people I know of , who was essentially the only person in media to stand up to the Andrew Cuomo personality cult of 2020. While everyone else lavished him with praise, she looked at the data on nursing homes.

There was a question recently about what it would take to restore faith in public health and part of the answer is "retribution"
The people who pushed for a public health police state need to be punished. They should lose jobs, careers, entire agencies should be disbanded. twitter.com/herandrews/sta

Thanks!
You had Eric Feigl-Ding on your show claiming that “We know that with Omicron it’s actually more severe in children than in adults.”
So please spare us your interpretation of who is and who isn’t a “Covid expert.”

It’s hard to exaggerate how big of an L Duke University took on mask mandates. They announced that they’ll likely mandate masks in classrooms on January 9, then were forced to walk that back a week later. People are fed up with Covid mandates and won’t take it anymore. A big win!

Duke just announced that they will not mandate masks, even though their region is still in the CDC’s “high-risk” Covid category. Another reminder that Twitter really can affect positive change.

I simply can’t accept that most of the FDA and CDC are still working remotely. It’s just beyond unacceptable. The Biden administration has destroyed “public health” in so many ways.

Wow, do you really think NYC’s mayor would be in Texas complaining about the border if Texas’s Governor didn’t send migrants to NYC? Regardless of how you feel about these issues, one thing’s for sure: sending migrants from Texas to NYC, etc., was a very savvy political decision.

On the ground in El Paso last night. This is a national crisis and we need a national solution. Mayors like @OscarLeeser and I are on the front lines and we need federal support.

This piece is a bit more personal and was very hard for me to write. It is on how Stanford University, my home, failed to live up to its ideals during the pandemic.

We are now in a position to evaluate the impact of Covid vaccines. Overall, I believe they were a success, actually well beyond what most informed people probably anticipated in 2020.

“Students at Duke…are now fed up with being compelled to engage in performative displays of safety theater at the expense of our communication, learning, & mental health. Mandatory masking is not a cost-free mitigation strategy and has negative impacts..”

Excuse me, but if masks are required at Duke in Winter 2023, then why wouldn’t they be required at Duke in Winter 2024? And so on… So yeah, Duke’s impending mask mandate is a clear indication that masks will be a permanent part of life at Duke, just like I wrote.
