Oh, yes. The man who wrote at the *end of February 2020*—when it was clear we would get hit—that worrying about a pandemic was "panic" by people who don't understand probability—and naturally got appointed to head the WHO social science response to COVID. White House next, obvs.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1355217464968183810 …

To be clear, this is why I care—not the falling up part. Contrarian, clever-sounding but baseless social theories plus false, also baseless & more elite-projection than real Hobbesian views of the public have dominated and harmed our pandemic response.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1356624524960235521 …

I'm really not targeting individuals. No personal issue. But this is how and why things fail—this is WHO's "social science response". People in the social sciences all know the problem with what's going on here but a pandemic isn't enough of an urgency to speak out, I guess.pic.twitter.com/NEwLdjckBT

Yes, the WHO needed a proper social science response. I'm deeply amused.
