It is correct.

Pretty good.

Not at all. What are you acting like and have been for 3 years?

Actually I think the source is an interview by Maureen Dowd. Are you claiming he never said it?

Sure… An art critic parroting the worngness an overly confident techbro know more than epidemiologists.

He’s not honest?

His numbers weren’t correct at the time?

Is who claiming who never said what?

I think he’s honest in regards to health information. I don’t know if he’s being honest when it comes to the political side of it. I find most information coming from this administration to be suspect.

I thought that was your implication with ā€œOf course. Get your information from Don Lemon. But for others:ā€. I apologize if I was incorrect.

No. The Aaron Ginn article makes assumptions that aren’t true because as he said it doesn’t take any special knowledge to work out the numbers.

That was his first mistake.

Solid agreed up until the ā€It is expressed in a way that I would not express it, because it could lead to some misunderstanding about what the facts are about a given subject.ā€

And indeed it has…

So you attack the integrity of a man you’ve never met and whose lab coat you couldn’t iron? Based on your hatred for President Trump?

That’s incredible!

Oh. Got you now. No, I don’t know whether he said that or not. What I am saying that even if he did that doesn’t invalidate everything the leading expert on this virus says. When he says he believes that the early blocking of travel from China and Europe may be what saved us from an outbreak like that in Italy, I am going to take him at his word rather than assume he made it up for Trump.

What? That"s an opinion! What ā€œspecial knowledgeā€?

I think it’s pretty evident that the good Dr. is doing his best to tread the political line set by Trump and his proneness to say things in a way that can confuse and distort the facts

Epidemiology as opposed to advertising.

If only he could jump in and correct our moron president…

Q: Most everyone thinks that you’re doing a remarkable job, but you’re standing there as the representative of truth and facts, but things are being said that aren’t true and aren’t factual.

A: The way it happened is that after he made that statement [suggesting China could have revealed the discovery of a new coronavirus 3 to 4 months earlier], I told the appropriate people, it doesn’t comport, because 2 or 3 months earlier would have been September. The next time they sit down with him and talk about what he’s going to say, they will say, ā€œBy the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and don’t say that.ā€ But I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.

Is it? I think he’s honest. I’d like to see your evidence he’s not.

Sounds like if he doesn’t say ā€œTrump sucksā€ every other sentence, his integrity is questioned. But that can’t be, that would be TDS…

I find him to be very honest
