The above is only a tiny fraction of what the Garbage People did to us with their “credentialed” $cience
What we did not properly appreciate is that preferences determine how scientific expertise is used, and that our preferences might be—indeed, our preferences were—very different from many of the people that we serve. We created policy based on our preferences, then justified it using data. And then we portrayed those opposing our efforts as misguided, ignorant, selfish, and evil.
We made science a team sport, and in so doing, we made it no longer science. It became us versus them, and "they" responded the only way anyone might expect them to: by resisting.
Kevin Bass—Newsweek
The above excerpt is from a Newsweek op-ed written by an MD/PhD candidate called: It's Time for the Scientific Community to Admit We Were Wrong About COVID and It Cost Lives.
Sorry, Bro—the massive damage is already done. The failed policies for a fakedemic have wreaked havoc on societies all over the world. Perhaps, millions are dead and others are permanently harmed beCause of the “policies” of this boutique $cience: Where the “facts” are twisted to fit the policy, just like the “facts” about invading Iraq were cherry-picked and twisted to fit the policy of a pre-emptive invasion of a country that had no ability to harm the U.S.
What do we do when a co-conspirator confesses to mass-murder?
But perhaps more important than any individual error was how inherently flawed the overall approach of the scientific community was, and continues to be. It was flawed in a way that undermined its efficacy and resulted in thousands if not millions of preventable deaths. KB
Wow, it’s almost like a Nazi cavalierly confessing that work camps and mass graves were just a “flaw” in “efficacy.” I am not sure what reality this is, but the one I grew up in contained trials for those Nazi war criminals. If only the Nazis had submitted “whoopsie” op-eds to major news magazines, maybe they would have escaped execution/imprisonment just like the Nazi $cientists did when the U.S. smuggled them into our country after the war during Operation Paper Clip.
When we read the entire op-ed, it seems that Kev (like Dr. Leana Wen—CiaNN contributor here) is more upset about the lack of trust in $cience seemingly being the main shit that these rogue $cientists caused, when in actual fact, WE (I KNOW, I) WERE ALSO READING AND LISTENING TO REAL DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS, WHO ALSO HAD LONG LINES OF CREDENTIALS BEHIND THEIR NAMES:
My motivation for writing this is simple: It's clear to me that 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.
And, also:
Intellectual elitism, credentialism, and classism must end. Restoring trust in public health—and our democracy—depends on it.
My initial reaction to Covid in 2020 was a mistrust of the medical industrial complex and politicians—which saved me when the jab got rolled out. But, my opinions became more concrete in real science, when the hard science was coming in—data, facts, people’s lived experiences. Look at mainstream media coverage and replace “Osama bin-Laden” for “Covid-19” and one begins to see a pattern emerge from their playbook on how to terrify a population into compliance with harmful measures and confusing propaganda: masks don’t work, masks do work, wear two masks, make cloth masks, DON’T make cloth masks—blah, blah, blah.
In the midst of these simpering non-apologies, we still see contempt for we skeptics. This Kev, $cience Bro, paints skeptics as people who “resented” the measures perhaps based on Tarot cards, or Ouija boards, and not on hard-science. How would $cience Bro react to a question about why were heavily credentialed doctors and scientists deplatformed, or losing their licenses, or reputations for having an opposite view from his? Correct information was widely available from the beginning, so all of these apologies ring hollow and it comes to a question I have that I am not sure can be answered. Just like the cartoonist Scott Adams who admitted that his conclusions were wrong, even though they were based on “analytics,” but the rubes and boobs in the antivax cadre only got it right because we have the intuition of simpletons.
So, after three-years of being forced to follow incorrect, harmful, and fascist measures/mandates and losing so much for publicly questioning them, or not taking the jab—WHY ARE SO MANY JAB/COVID-NARRATIVE PUSHERS NOW RETRACTING, OR APOLOGIZING, OR BOTH?
Is is to soften us up and build trust for the next fakedemic? I mean, they literally shit the bed on Covid, so who will believe them when the Monkey/Bird/Bat Flu/Pox is rolled-out, next?
Here in the U.S., we have been conditioned to yearn for the next "new and improved” “lemony-fresh” “more value” toothpaste, or douche, so I have a feeling we can expect the “new and improved; lemony-fresh; more value” flu/pox in the near future.
I wonder how many will fall for it?
As I meander on social media and through my neighborhood, stores, and restaurants, I feel like most will “fall for it,” because they are still wearing face nappies with looks of panicked “flight or fight” in their visible eyes. Many people still are treating fellow humans as nothing but filthy, disease vectors that are out to commit genocide with their free faces and insistence upon reasonable human interactions.
With rebuilding trust as they further seek new ways to censor information, the WEF meeting in Davos was the focal point of this new Garbage People energy. Like $cience Bro Kev they are ultimately not so worried about how the fakedemic affected us, but how their out-of-control knee-jerk fascism harmed them and their ability to scare us to death with Modelo Pox 23, or whatever it will be. I think the Garbage People are scared crapless that millions of us are awake (not WOKE) and think they are nothing but ridiculous scum.
Kev ends his piece pouting because their propaganda lacked finesse and turned people against the Garbage People because that means we mistrusted the vaccine. Yes, mistrust of people like Kev made a difference, but the stats, or lack of stats, were more important to most people. Kev—what I am trying to say is, even if you do spew good agitprop, I am still not allowing myself to be a guinea pig for big pHARMa.
I am not accepting any fake apologies, or believing any of them are, at face value, real. And guess why? Because Kev, and the rest, are publicly admitting to being liars and killers.
Liars and killers can go take a long walk off a short pier, as my dearly departed Mother used to say.
Never again, Bro. Never again.

And the elephant in the room is the fact that they continue to advertise and promote these harmful behaviors. They are NOT one damn bit sorry except that they are sorry they got caught.
Wonderfully written and absolutely on point. Thank you.
