Thanks for sharing this! Any time anything that bucks the enforced consensus makes it into a conventional news service, it's cause for kindling our hope.
Thanks for your efforts to dig into this mess. I just finished reading a substack from A Midwestern Doctor talking about how big pHarma does business and what they do as they acquire other pHarmaceutical companies. I think you and your readers will like it Link: https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/what-can-we-learn-from-the-pfizer
This article is cringeworthy, not praiseworthy. It's a partial admission of guilt but he still is trying to evade responsibility.
"Our approach alienated large segments of the population from what should have been a national, collaborative project. And we paid the price."
What price did these elites pay, exactly? Did they have to declare bankruptcy, did they lose businesses, did they face public scorn and find themselves locked out of job opportunities?
Most of the government workers, academics, MDs, PR firms, tech employees (etc) who went along with the COVID scam didn't pay any price at all. They profited from it. As he points out in the article, this was a major wealth transfer to the already top 1%. Who is more likely to hold stocks, a delivery driver at Amazon or an MD?
Many of us were wiped out financially by these idiotic lockdowns. A massive percentage of small businesses closed permanently while big corporations like Amazon were rewarded.
"... for public trust to be restored in science, scientists should publicly discuss what went right and what went wrong during the pandemic, and where we could have done better."
More delusion. He thinks that discussion is enough to address these issues? Some of what transpired was criminal. No trust will be restored until certain pharma products are yanked off the market and thousands of individuals lose their jobs and face criminal charges.
At a minimum there should be First Amendment lawsuits against the government for censoring critics of the lockdowns/vaccines. Then move to the regulators who lied to the public about their activities. It's one thing to make a mistake, it's another to lie and claim that you are doing something that you are, in fact, not doing. The CDC failing to monitor VAERS for safety data is one example. The lack of risk assessments of lockdowns is another.
Imagine if Ford was able to just ask for a 'discussion' if it released a car model that killed hundreds of thousands of people and put millions into poverty. Sorry about the exploding gas tanks, we'll have a discussion about how to improve our practices. No, the criminal justice and tort systems exist for a reason.
I don't think you are being altogether fair to him. When he says "we paid the price" he is talking about the scientific community, and the lost trust in them. And he doesn't talk about "discussion" only. "Intellectual elitism, credentialism, and classism must end." This is what he says.
I have not seen any concrete evidence that the scientific community has suffered a loss of trust. I see plenty of concrete evidence that working class people were harmed by these lockdowns and related policy choices.
Ending elitism, credentialism, and classism is simply not enough. I'm not against a certain amount of those things. It's perfectly fine for the pilot of an airplane to exclusive access to the cockpit. There are some fields, like power grid engineering, where only credentialled people can really understand the issues.
However, when experts are given positions of power and influence, they should be held to reasonable standards. If there is negligence, fraud (etc) they should be punished. If they are incompetent, they should be fired.
There's a growing body of evidence that various actors went far beyond incompetence. We have whistleblowers who pointed out fraud in the clinical trials. We have EU apparatchiks who negotiated multi-billion dollar contracts on smartphones, against typical procurement procedures. We have governments who admit to conducting zero risk assessments and keeping no records of policy formation. We have regulators like Health Canada who dropped standards time and time again to accommodate medical products that had serious quality issues. We have government agencies who colluded with tech firms to censor skeptics.
All those things you mention, fraud in clinical trials, lack of risk assessment, censorship and many others are already eroding trust in the scientific community. And it will only grow bigger.
I read this article earlier this morning. have to agree, James. They also didn’t suffer one bit of mental duress because of the lockdowns, masking, loss of freedom, loss of bodily autonomy, & the derision & attempts to exclude fellow citizens from social life. Because they were for every bit of it.
Besides, anything featured in a rag like Newsweek isn’t fit for toilet paper

The whole thing is starting to unravel, finally!

Your Ford example is solid!
