Some shit highlights:

Monitoring, however, was not easy. For one thing, we had a hard time finding out what was really going on in China because doctors and scientists there appeared to be afraid to speak openly, for fear of retribution by the Chinese government.

But this was how I became the public-health official who, very early in the pandemic, instructed people not to wear a mask. Later, my words would be twisted by extreme elements in an attempt to show that I and other scientists had misled the public, that we could not be trusted, and that we were flip-floppers.

This article has entire sections whining about division.

perhaps the Chinese scientists were afraid to speak openly because talking to bourgeois media journalists is in the best case pointless and in the worst case they will lie and distort what you said

I had so many arguments with people in 2021/2 after we started socializing again where they’d do the classic “The kind of thing that’s probably happening in China” and I’d say “You mean the kind of thing that’s definitely happening in America”, and they’d say, “Damn, that sounds like something that would happen in China.”

Meanwhile you just know that if China had given detailed reports with precision breakdowns of every case in every province with tracking numbers and as much data as humanly possible, this ghoul would go full and accuse them of obfuscating data

Oh wait

This basically fucking happened

This was a supposed “white lie” to try to preserve ppe for medical professionals, which was stupid because a lot of nurses and doctors took it to mean they didn’t need ppe, and as far as I know the government didn’t even try to secure any ppe for medical professionals or make sure they were available.

We knew it was airborne by how quickly it was spreading. The WHO knew it was airborne and immediately started upgrading their offices to filter the air, even while they told the world it wasn’t airborne. The reason they didn’t say it was airborne was because it would mean hospitals would have to take more strict measures to protect everyone, and it would cost a lot and make the job harder.

It’s insulting to be told that the evidence at the time showed that it wasn’t warranted to take airborne measures.

I remember hearing something how even just having everyone pull their shirt over their face when inside could be somewhat effective if everyone is “masking” this way. He fucked masking up so hard (and probably so permanently in ).

Many of his harshest critics during the worst of that time became soft-supporters, eventually morphing into diehard fans after a decade or so. I do wonder, in hindsight, how much of that was due to his social skills and politicking ability. Like with the WHO, these large groups of scientific or medical professionals usually end up being led not by the most well-rounded or logical of them, but those who are best at hobknobbing and social manipulation.
