The fundamental disconnect is that the steps required by both science and patient safety are the steps hospital infection control leaders foolishly dismissed in 2020.

They have to choose between killing patients, and admitting a very big mistake.

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.
