    No. Vox did not accurately relay what experts were saying at the time. WHO had declared it a *global* emergency in late Jan, weeks before the infamous Recode handshake piece. The facts were there. They were covered up in favor of a just-the-flu narrative. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1228447944287932416 …https://twitter.com/EricNewcomer/status/1243580674193395713 …

    i think a lot of reporters are stuck on the fact that vox accurately relayed what experts were saying at the time. but clearly that got them in the wrong place and there were experts then who thought differently

        It wasn’t just Smallvox that contributed to the just-the-flu narrative, the biggest lie since WMDs-in-Iraq. See this Buzzflu thread from Jan 31. All the facts were present, they were simply ignored. Clickbait helped cause lockdown.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1223088081777065985 …

        Balaji Srinivasan added,

        First, you made a comparison error. The current death toll of the flu is not comparable to the future death toll of a fast-spreading new virus with no vaccine. Second, to reduce that future death toll, WHO just declared a global emergency. "Panic" is never warranted, concern is. https://twitter.com/azeen/status/1223020563351973888 …

        Every organization — press and state — that published just-the-flu misinformation should have apologized on their own already, written retractions (but kept the articles up), and put the people involved on internal UBI so they could stop harming public health. Instead, denial.

        Precisely the type of lies that were used ex post to justify early support for the war in Iraq. "The experts said…" History is rewritten *very quickly*. To correct for this, positions and their reasoning need an immutable record. In matters of prediction track record matters.

        Would you label WHO as experts? They don’t sound like experts tbh

        By the same argument you can just as well say that the stock market - pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds - were all wrong because the markets were at an all tine high mid- Feb.
