There's a difference between doing science, and going on a press tour to push a viewpoint, though. I don't think actual science was ever being suppressed.
If covid was killing 40% of people instead of 1% of people, would we still want to spend 3 years figuring out, on spreadsheets, whether it was really merited based on long-term scientific studies?
And if we decided that we should do some things for public health in the very short term, should we humor every crackpot who wants us to wait?
