Thank you so much for the analysis and the post. I have a background in biochemical engineering, I have worked in clean rooms, I have done research and I have taken graduate level statistics classes. I know how research studies work and I know how the games are played. When the world shut down, I had time to look at the research and the curiosity to try to figure out what was happening.
I found almost everything that the CDC published to be highly suspect just from the abstract. If I actually analyzed the papers, I felt infuriated and insulted that the paper were even published. I also felt like I was wasting my time since I have no power to convince people that the CDC is being misleading. The work that you are doing, tracking down the information, presenting the discrepancies clearly, and publishing your analysis for reference, is very important and time consuming and I really appreciate it. Thank you.
What a delight to discover your Substack. And to read the above article. I briefly practiced psychiatry in Germany after attending med school there (in German, then my second language). Family issues necessitated a return to the US, could not take a year off to learn English vocabulary, take Boards, then compete with a bunch of people twenty years younger than I for a residency. So, I did other things.
Basics of epidemiology have not changed, nor have basics of how to deal with a viral pandemic: focus resources on the old and the fat, leave everyone else alone pending more information. Put patients outdoors in sunlight, because sunlight damages viruses and even a slight breeze dispels a vapor cloud. So, we did the opposite in Democrat-dominated areas, and tried to mandate the wrong approach nationwide.
N95 masks, worn properly, are fine for adults. NOT for children, period.
