> Dr. Robert Redfield, a virologist and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), had urged Fauci privately to vigorously investigate both the lab and natural hypotheses. He was then excluded from the ensuing discussions—learning only later that they’d even occurred. “Their goal was to have a single narrative,” Redfield told Vanity Fair.
I'm actually a bit more shocked there's not more outrage coming from mid-level public health practitioners whose jobs will now be that much harder. Through incompetence, failure to admit and clarify mistakes, and deliberate steering of the narrative away from things they didn't want to talk about, this generation of leaders has destroyed the average person's confidence in public health agencies and we will likely feel the effects of this for generations to come.
Wow
