Dr. John Ioannidis VIDEO: speaks about COVID and science, "OUT TO SEE - The Film"; science is about making mistakes and the key is recognizing them & fixing them; measures we took caused lots of harm
Last 3 years been very tough on the whole world, we could have never predicted what could have happened, we were unprepared & we made big mistakes, lots of errors; note, I don't agree on all he says

Dr. Alexander I think it's fair to say the biggest mistake was our collectively placing faith in the very agencies & entities that were entrusted to protect the health & welfare of the people. Very different from honest misjudgments and miscalculations, particularly early in the developing crisis, on the part of the few who were acting in good faith to try and map a strategy to prevent mass suffering & death.
As the old song by the musical group The Who went, "We won't be fooled again!"
There is no way I can recommend this video. He is trying far too hard to placate our ‘overlords’ and endorses many bad ideas.
He repeatedly brings up “climate change” and “nuclear war” as destroyers of humanity. He endorses the worthless Bangladesh mask study. He doesn’t want anybody held accountable for potentially bad decisions during the pandemic because, in essence, everybody was doing their best but many were in over their heads. This is unacceptable in my professional opinion.
He then goes on to talk about “conspiracies” during the past 2-1/2 years:
‘COVID killing people’
‘Vaccines killing people’
‘Wars killing people’
Obviously the COVID deaths were massively exaggerated. But vaccine deaths are a “conspiracy”??? And clearly we do not know much truth about Ukraine, but YES people ARE dying.
Then he said “some vaccines are good” speaking in general terms, and this is an assertion that appears to increasingly be In doubt. I turned it off short of an hour into it when he was talking about all of the different measures to deal with the pandemic and made this statement:
“I believe vaccines were one of the great successes of this pandemic”
He does tone it down by saying that he wants data supporting that, but this tells me he is still covering his on backside with TPTB. I cannot encourage anybody to share this because he is clearly trying to stay in the middle & not take the (in my opinion) correct side.
