It's possible that hospitals were claiming something like a car crash victim with COVID as a COVID death for extra funding, making actual total deaths less due to COVID than reported, meaning what he said was true, even while the hospital is full of people with COVID, possibly including that very car crash victim.

Other official facts of the time period included 1. standing in a restaurant without a mask on is almost terrorism and 2. sitting at a restaurant without a mask on is fine.

"Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

You forced me to not actually read the dissent but to CTRL+F "immune,", because I couldn't believe a person/demigod serving in such an incredibly honorable and powerful position would ever write a rant with the same word 4 times in a row.

All knowledge/predictions are encoded as a chain of probabilities that something is true, otherwise, what else is it? My brain calculates 0.8 * 0.3 * 0.5 * 0.6 in order to make a 3-pointer, but Michael Jordan's brain ... well his mitochondria does a triple back flip and inverts the voltage into a tachyon particle.

According to billionaire-owned media, the owner of which is owned by a trillionaire investor, you are a conspiracy theorist: both parties work for their constituents.

"But their senior civil servants quit if they try."

Why does abandoning ship when the ship is set on fire or under threat to be set on fire save the ship?

Worse if the abandoners are the good ones to be replaced by more fire starters.
