We may think we’re done with COVID-19, but COVID-19 is not done with us
We may think we’re done with COVID-19, but COVID-19 is not done with us

β€œI am concerned that the sense of urgency about COVID-19 appears to have faded. The disease has not been discussed during the election season, even though it is an ongoing and developing public health threat. I believe this is a dangerous mindset. The reality is that COVID-19 remains a unique and deadly threat for many people β€” it is not just another respiratory virus, and should not be treated as such by our leaders.”

β€œBoth the Biden administration and its critics, faced with an impending wave of disease with the potential for mass death and disability, chose to spend their time focused on critiquing or defending the tone of the messaging. The comical absurdity of the situation belies the horrific public health failure. It was a mass mortality event without precedent in the history of the United States. Given that the level of concern of the public was likely to impact their degree of adoption of risk mitigation measures, this misplaced focus on urging calm, rather than masking and vaccination, was a deadly mistake. A more honest discussion about the risks could have saved lives. All the back-and-forth about whether fear was or was not being mongered distracted from the task at hand, which should have been (checks notes) protecting the public from Omicron BA.1.”

Imagine going to the doctor for treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Only, the doctor tells you diabetes isn't a thing, and suggests your fear of sugar is anxiety disorder, and you're experiencing pain due to anxiety.
