One of your more comprehensive and forceful pieces. Thanks!

This is a very good stack Dr. Alexander. Unfortunately, Walensky and her ilk are impervious to reason and there's a reason for that.

Most of them have Hitler's personality disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD; Anakastic Personality Disorder), and in particular the OCPD subtype that Theodore Millon, originator of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders' personality disorders classification termed "bureaucratic compulsive with narcissistic features." This is the disorder that has driven the bureaucratic incompetence. Understanding it is key to defeating it.

I noted about it previously as follows:

What I think we are up against is OCPD. It's a big part of the reason for the bureaupathology of the vaccine advocates: Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), which is common in the military, where those with the condition tend to be rapidly promoted (e.g., Colonel Russell Williams, convicted serial killer and former Commanding Officer of Canada's largest airforce base), law enforcement (e. g., murderer of George Floyd, Derek Chauvin, Idaho killings suspect Bryan Kohberger), academia and serial killers appears also to be common in public health bureaucrats.

OCPD is a disorder of overcontrol. When dialled up, it's similar to psychopathy, with which it is often comorbid. It's characterised by, among other things, self-righteousness, tyrannical or dictatorial tendencies, perfectionism (especially WRT expectations of others), neatness ("serial killer neat"), punctuality, the ability to dial down or turn off empathy, perspective shifting deficits, rigidity, overconscientious and enjoyment of creating fear in subordinates. It has links to sadism, especially "enforcing sadism with compulsive features," "tyrannical sadism" mooand "spineless sadism."

People with the condition are functionally rigid, stubborn and tend to think they are "always right" and that there is only one correct way of doing things, which is their way. Hitler and Ghandi are good examples. They are angered when they don't get their own way and are overconcerned with ethics and morality. (Hitler was vegetarian and Bryan Kohberger is vegan.)

OCPD individuals are annoyed when proven to be wrong and they double down on their mistakes. Because of their perspective shifting deficits they have trouble with alternative hypothesis generation and are unsuited to be scientists. They are also unsuited for management roles and unsuited to be public health bureaucrats although, due to attention to detail, can make good accountants. A big part of their problem is their perspective taking deficits and cognitive distortions and fallacies in their reasoning. They can do well on tasks requiring attention to detail but they can't readily adjust their perspective to identify and correct for weaknesses in theory or methodology.

They tend to rise to the top in ethics councils, professional associations, regulatory bodies and the military as well as, it appears, the public health bureaucracy. Present them with evidence of vaccine harms and individuals with OCPD can't adjust their perspective or admit their mistakes and instead they just double down, and then seek revenge. Because it's an egosyntonic disorder they have no idea of how fucked up they are and how much harm they cause.

To further understand OCPD, consider the following description of Anthony Fauci by Scott Sturman M.D:

"The mindset of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, World War I’s worst general, springs to mind, when drawing a comparison to Anthony Fauci. By some historical accounts Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig bears the distinction of WWI’s worst general. He rose to Commander of British Expeditionary Forces and led Allied armies during the slaughter and futility at the battles of the Somme and Passchendaele.

Known for his self confidence and inflexibility, he repeatedly ordered soldiers over the top to “no man’s land” and into the path of German machine guns. No number of casualties or unachieved objectives could dissuade him from his singular approach to combat. Nigel Davies, historian and educator, points out that General Haig was emblematic of the chateau general - dictating and directing but far removed from the battlefield: They were Chateau Generals in approach and in attitude.

They drew lines on maps without adequately considering the terrain, issued impossible instructions without looking at the state of the ground, and ran completely inadequate communications that were far from capable of keeping track of, or controlling, a modern battlefield.

In a similar respect, despite his academic and professional accomplishments, Dr. Anthony Fauci has no background or experience in clinical medicine and is ill equipped to lead the SARS-CoV-2 response. His purview is that of a research scientist and entrenched bureaucrat, who is far removed from patient contact. His career is enmeshed with the pharmaceutical industry, whose financial ties with federal medical regulatory institutions are well described.

Throughout his career he has denied patients easily accessible, inexpensive, and effective treatments in lieu of patented medications with high risk profiles and of dubious efficacy. In 1987 despite overwhelming clinical evidence, he told AIDS activists that the prophylactic use of the common antibiotic Bactrim to treat pneumocystis carnii pneumonia was ineffective and possibly dangerous. Through private donations the company Lymphomed circumvented the NIAID and conducted successful clinical trials.

The delay cost the lives of nearly 17,000 immunocompromised patients.

You give them too much credit. They are clearly not that smart. Either they don’t have time to read the data for what it is or if they have read the data won’t admit to the harms. Cognitive dissonance. They would have to admit culpability and unfortunately that would be too much to bear at this point. They need to go !

Unlike the indefatigable Dr Alexander, i have long since given up applying logic to the illogical. Like applying logic to an unmedicated mental patient.

Godspeed!

Awesome substack Dr. Alexander! I agree with you 100%!

As a nurse since 1995... I will NEVER consider or respect these agencies again. I don’t claim them and I’m embarrassed by them. They went again everything I was taught over the years on respiratory viruses. So sad.

Awesome compilation and analysis Dr. Alexander!

Thank you

“Intellectually lazy technocrats!” That is a good way to describe Walensky and all those connected to the Covid fraud. I would love to see Steve Kirsch put that on a billboard!

Premier health agencies? On what planet? Maybe 60 years ago but how many millions have all these blockhead agencies murdered since then with their stupidity that knows no bounds?

Death to all who perpetrate these Crimes Against Humanity. After Nuremberg Trials, I will personally Hang in Public for all to bear witnesss all who are found guilty for murdering millions of people along with the deaths in my own family. Vengeance and Justice needs to be served. It is the only way to deter this from happening again. At least for the next 80 to 100 years when Humanity forgets again.

Great letter! What do you think is going to happen because of all this? Probably nothing.

This is an excellent piece. I have such great respect and admiration of both yours and Dr Ladapo’s response to the CDC and FDA, and the others. They don’t have near the integrity or expertise to give the breakdown that you both have done. The continued narcissism and refusal to acknowledge their errors in judgement despite the evidence demonstrates how dangerous they have been navigating the Covid pandemic. They all stick to the same script of the false narrative.
