States that you cannot accurately model six months out. Fears this is ploy to get Congress to pass their relief bill. You think?

This guy is one of the few "experts" that I trust .He was sounding the alarm about Covid to the public before thes hit hit the fan in the US but has also not had an issue about calling BS when he sees it.

Isn't this the same guy on Rogan in march of 2020 who said close to a million dead by year end?

Said masks were nonsense on Rogan then 3 months later was talking about the need to mask up. Bought and paid for shill.

Yep. Seemed credible on Rogan, then he did a 180 when he joined Biden's covid advisory board.

Dems love to create problems to fix. That fix always includes slush funds.

Ive seen him on multiple occasions stating that only N95 masks, when properly worn are really effective. He did advise that surgical and cloth masks that most people were wearing offered minimal protection in very short duration contact( like checking out at a grocery store). He did say that it was better than nothing but feared it gave people a false sense of security. He has been very consistent on that message.

Can't afford to fund that..... we gotta give money to Ukraine as a ruse to fund politicians pet projects and the funnel it back to themselves.

He did contradict himself multiple times and is worthless now in the credibility department another lab expert with no real world knowledge. N95 cant stop asbestos - cant stop a virus.

Sounds to me like Dems laying groundwork to keep mail in voting prevalent. Minus, of course, any verification of those ballots

95% effective. The COVID virus itself is smaller than the N95 filter size, but the virus always travels attached to larger particles that are caught by the filter. And even if the particles were smaller than the N95 filter size, the erratic motion of particles that size and the electrostatic attraction generated by the mask means they would be consistently caught as well.
