.ashishkjha, President Biden’s COVID czar, says that public health isn’t just the absence of disease. It’s a “much broader sense of well-being that comes from spending time with family and friends and socializing and going to school and going to work.”

not as an emergency, but not something we can forget about, either. Is that the way that you see things? Are we condemned to repeat the recent past for the foreseeable future?

A lot of people think of communication as the icing on the cake. You have your policy, you have your recommendations, you get the science right, and the communication is kind of a nice-to-have. In a pandemic, that’s completely wrong. You need to engage the public, helping people understand, “Hey, the infection numbers are growing, and that means these are the three behavior changes you should make.”Net good.

Before the pandemic, you wrote about health policy at a blog titled “An Ounce of Evidence.” You didn’t complete the sentence, but I always imagined it to be something like “. . . beats a pound of opinion.” You’ve described yourself as a “reluctant academic” and have said that you didn’t want to do research at all. Then you built a career as one of the most productive health-policy researchers in the country. What happened?

If we could talk about a viable solution we could educate the public:

Time to give it a rest.

No thanks. I'll pass. This is most widespread medical experiment in human history. As soon as we have years of studies that actually prove it to be safe and effective, I will get vaccinated. Until then, go to hell

For fun, you should google ADE (Antibody-dependent Enhancement).

Your are great! You’re not Ashish Jha but Ghant🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮Sycophant! You should be ashamed of yourself! Ghant!

Then he needs to talk about something other than vaccines! We need clean air like we need clean water. We have no public space ventilation standards to reduce infections, no filtration standards, and very limited discussion on ultraviolet light (such asUVGI/Far UV).

shinglest I have been telling everyone that cases are rising. No one seems to want to pay any attention to me. AZ isn't even wearing masks usually. I DO wear a mask when I need to enter any building other than my abode.

DonnaGallipeau At least 167 Americans died from the flu every day in 2017-18 and this was perfectly acceptable.

DonnaGallipeau At least 167 Americans died from the flu every day in 2017-18 and this was perfectly acceptable. Imagine being this poor guy and thinking, 'The science is no longer on my side, so there must be SOMETHING I can make up to keep the COVID scam operational.' What a pitiful existence.

New age racism in every way,builds on ignorance.Assume narrative targets illegal immigrants to sort population,easily flipped to target minority citizens(like20generationsof)sprinkle some stereotype on it.Damage done&oops thought you were illegal birthermuch

About one-third of the country embraces a death cult. They don't mind people dying from covid.

Was just at the supermarket. Me and two other people in masks.

coba kamu total eropa....

Yall still trying to scare people lmao

🤡

Covid would never have disrupted worldwide economy and societies if govts had ignored it. Statism is the real plague.

And than there is the actual science .

Fixed it.

Sometimes you need to have the courage not to let things disrupt your life. Because life is not infinite and hiding under a bed is not living.

It wasn’t the (manmade) virus that was disrupting our lives. It was the ultra-authoritarian response from our politicians and bureaucrats who saw a chance to seize and wield dictatorial powers over their fellow citizens.

🤡

What an empty suit. As well as legend in his own mind.

Then r we doing anything to trace its origin?!

Human Rights First ?, Humanity ? justice ? EqualRights ? Democracy ? God Bless World, God Bless America, Please Pray for America, God Bless All.
