This COVID-19 subject matter is definitely overwhelming, and I think we all feel like it’s difficult to keep up. Though I unabashedly harbor suspicions, I’ve tried to maintain an objective viewpoint, and go where the facts lead me. I’ve written a few posts which counter the official narrative, including:
- Liars Figure… (2020/04/23)
- Opportunities… of Crisis…? (2020/04/18)
- It’s All About #ActiveHospitalizations (2020/04/13)
- #FlattenTheCurve Is Counterproductive (2020/04/10)
- As In Africa, So In America… (2020/04/04)
- COVID-19: The Global Crime In-Progress (2020/03/27)
Based on the expert professional assessment of Dr.s Erickson and Massihi, it seems I’ve been spot on – particularly regarding my assertions in #FlattenTheCurve Is Counterproductive, It’s All About #ActiveHospitalizations, and Opportunities… of Crisis…?. Listen to the entire interview below, then examine some of the additional media coverage, particularly by KERO-TV 23 ABC News Bakersfield and KGET-TV 17 NBC Bakersfield, and see if the coverage doesn’t seem entirely agenda-driven to you.
I might add, in this segment, pay particular attention to how vituperative and militant Michelle Corson, Public Information Officer for Kern County Public Health sounds – and how uneducated and ‘un-reporter-like’ KERO-TV’s Tori Cooper sounds, frankly.
Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care, the largest testing center in Kern County, CA have courageously offered their science-based, data-driven tenured professional assessment of the current nationwide lock-down / shelter-in-place orders:
…do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically: no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically: no.
