He should have just been telling the truth. This eroded trust - probably permanently - in our govt medical bodies.
Worse, he prolonged misguided policies such as Shut Down far too long.
Worse than this, he knowingly implemented policies for political impact and “herd control” such as masks.
Worse yet, he appears to have acted in the best interests of China by denying the real source of COVID, and he directly contributed to the very Gain of Function practices that led to the creation of the virus in Wuhan….and then tried to cover it up. He also supported the drug industry unfailingly.
He now tries to save face on the other side of the pandemic as the evidence mounts against his statements and claims during the pandemic.
He has earned a special place all his own as an example of dishonest doctor who places politics and self glorification above patient care. He has harmed more people world wide than any doctor in history.
