Feel weird sharing a twitter post, but this guy has credentials. Fucking hate the CDC.

Sorry I've been posting a lot about covid lately, I'm immunocompromised and people ignoring covid has been driving me insane.

EDIT: here's a new source confirming this https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-variant-bq-1-omicron-cdc-estimates/

    This is the dumbest critique I have ever read. Gee, I wonder if anyone's opinion of how bad covid was going to be changed after MARCH 2020.

    JFC. The man is a modern day Cassandra. He called it, he has called every step of this pandemic, and the only people still doubting him are antivax antimaskers.

      His tweets during the pandemic have also at times been criticized by other scientists as alarmist, misleading, or inaccurate.

      JFC - this thread is into into a moronic reddit-level shitpile.

      Are you even reading anything at all??? I didn't write the following - Wikipedia did...

        I don't need to read the Wikipedia article. I'm an actual topic expert. I've read nearly everything published on this subject for the past several years. I have a doctoral degree in the subject. I was there, I watched my patients die from a virus nobody understood. My opinions are formed.

        I don't really care what the other nine nameless establishment dentists think, much less some dude quoting the CDC, an organization in which I lost faith in during the ebola crisis, another event I was literally there for to personally witness their clueless mismanagement.

        For someone throwing around reddit arguments as an insult - do you even understand who writes these Wikipedia articles you find so authoritative? There are no experts on Wikipedia, only incels, feds, and bots.

          I’m an actual topic expert.

          Oh, yeah. This is proof!...

          This is the dumbest critique I have ever read.

          I can see you do a lot of "reading".


          I have a doctoral degree in the subject.

          Good for you. If you're actually read anything I've written - you know I didn't claim to be knowledgeable at all on the subject. Why don't you go to reddit and leave me out of your ranting drama?

          Feigl-Ding is garbage. It's very sad you cannot understand that despite your doctoral degree. I don't know why you're in this sub-thread lecturing me that garbage is good. Because - I dunno... Reasons.

          I don't even understand what you're saying.

          Just be your own expert and leave me out of it please!
