Mistakes were made. And the perpetrators have never apologized, lost their jobs, been prosecuted, or done prison time. Which guarantees that it will all happen again. Oh well, homicide happens. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
more conspicuously calculated contrition from the architects of the disaster. spoiler alert: it’s still complete garbage.
“mistakes were made…”
“if you’re a public health person, and you’re trying to make a decision, you have this very narrow view of what the right decision is, and that is something that will save a life. doesn’t matter what else happens, so you attach infinite value to stopping the disease and saving a life. you attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people’s lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way that they never might quite recover from. this is a public health mindset… and that was really unfortunate, it’s another mistake we made.”
-francis collins, head of NIH (tony fauci’s boss) during covid and during the funding of ecohealth alliance’s viral gain of function programs at the wuhan institute of virology.

the man who was helping run public health response (after funding the creation of the virus that was so badly reacted to) says “well, gee, i guess we just did not think about the second and third order effects of our choices when we used a flame thrower to clear the ants off the kitchen counter.”
this is beyond appalling.
it’s the mindset and action of a cartoon villain.
