“For RealClear Politics, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Wesley J. Smith write about how efforts to stifle heterodox thinking are harmful to open discourse required for the healthy functioning of a democratic society.”

This of course was the Dr Jay who worked to clam most people had had Covid by April, the prevalence was 50-80x the actual tested rate

Of course by these estimates 150% of Manhattan already had Covid (a fascinating number) and should all have herd immunity as the dead bodies were stacked up in the streets.

Actual epidemiologists pointed out the bad arithmetic in his work - and that the error in the sampling creates a false signal.

And Dr Jay comtinued to claim Covid needed nothing more than. Kids and young people go back to school and attempted to advice Team Trump on it.

Not an epidemiologist whose team can’t do math advising on Covid.

Not the most reliable source.
