Talk about an epic public health failure (& for a vaccine that didn't even prevent people from getting or transmitting covid!)
So many physicians (myself included) opposed these mandates from the beginning & we were ignored by people who now won't admit they were wrong!

Great interview. I love the discussion about how a physician's ethical obligation ultimately should lie w/their individual patients & not the state- this gets to the heart of why AB-2098 was a bad law. Glad our Høeg v Newsom lawsuit destroyed it (for now).

Was glad they brought…

For injuries from the Covid vaccines, it's actually the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) & not VICP that would compensate for injury (obviously not VAERS, which is a passive safety surveillance system)... though I understand they almost never do.

VICP is funded…

Young for old, poor for wealthy. That's the trade that was made. Some of us knew it at the time. Everyone should know it now. Today's youth will never forget.

Covid science became a victim of USAs domestic politics. Masks on kids, playing sports, outside?🤣

A 2-party (un?)democracy will always pull opinions into two extremes, whereas a multi-party system rewards centrists.

Public radio should remain neutral/centrist despite this.

Anyone who listened to NPR's COVID coverage can anecdotally confirm Tracy's story. The 'covid experts' were always people who told you that summer camp = piles of dead kids and that kids needed to get boosted to avoid long covid (neither of these claims have any basis in fact).

Thanks for sharing! Innumerable stories like this will come out. The end product made it obvious what was happening inside. Glad to see specifics now. It is more than anything else just sad.

Great thread by Tracy Høeg, MD, PhD here. This happened countless times during the pandemic across all media platforms, not just NPR.

I find it hard to believe that they aren’t aware of their bias. In NPR’s case, they’re clearly willing to go down with the ship.
