Remember Michael Osterholm?
Back in the early days of the Covid Hoax I played up the word of Michael Osterholm, with regard to the likelihood of naturally occurring pandemics. Back then I thought that Covid might be an actual escaped bio-weapon. I guess it was something of the sort, but fortunately not as deadly as … the proposed preventative injections. As far as I’m aware, Osterholm is still a believer in the injections.
However, in light of numerous indications that the Deep State is attempting to gin up a new Covid scare—every day lately brings news items of remasking edicts in certain areas, especially for young people at school—this item via Zerohedge is rather interesting. Osterholm and others apparently knew the masking was not only BS but was also dangerous BS—and he and others banded together to write a letter about that:
Authored by Megan Redshaw via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Documents recently obtained from the National Institutes of Health suggest public health officials used inaccurate information and misrepresented medical research to advance their policy objective that masks prevent severe COVID-19 and virus transmission—despite opposing scientific evidence received from experts.
In a recently obtained letter (pdf) sent in November 2021 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), top epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, and seven colleagues informed the agency it was promoting flawed data and excluding data that did not reinforce their narrative.
The letter warned the agency that misrepresenting data on trusted websites such as the CDC and the COVID-19 Real-Time Learning Network—jointly created by the CDC and Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA)—would “damage the credibility of science,” endanger public trust by “misrepresenting the evidence,” and give the public “false expectations” masking would protect them from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
“We believe the information and recommendations as provided may actually put an individual at increased risk of becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2 and for them to experience a serious or even life-threatening infection,” Mr. Osterhom wrote.
The authors urged the IDSA to remove the suggestion that masking prevents severe disease from its website and asked the CDC to reconsider its statements about the “efficacy of masks and face coverings for preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2.”
Osterholm also noted a pattern of selectively choosing data that supported the desired narrative that masks prevent severe COVID-19 disease and transmission—claims he said are unsupported by the scientific evidence provided by the CDC and IDSA on their websites.
As we move toward Election 2024 this type of defection from the narrative could take on importance for those still in thrall.
Pardon my language but f*** them all. I know it’s crude and classless but I am so sick and tired of these twisted fools. Nothing boils my blood more than these mask, distancing and other mandated crap. The fact that kids aren’t dis-enrolling en masse from schools like Rutgers says all that needs to be said about the state of college kids these days. In my humble opinion it’s the canary in the coal mine for folks like me who think Nazi-style roundups aren’t possible here. Like cattle, they get herded into the chute for processing. The few cows who may question what’s happening just get stuck in the crowd and slaughtered with the rest. Over the top rhetoric?? I think not.
Do not comply. Push back hard. Treat them with the disdain and disgust they have earned.
