Francis Collins admits to major errors and lies to the House subcommittee
NIH funded gain of function research and 6 ft distancing ruined kids education and had no evidence to support it.
The House subcommittee investigating the pandemic has released a transcript of Francis Collins’ testimony. It reveals concerning facts.
First. Collins admits that 6ft distancing— a policy set by the CDC and one that crippled school reopening— was based on nothing.
It's sad to have seen scientists dishonesty promote this. It's disappointing that the CDC made the recommendation. Partisan epidemiologists who lack common sense created a false narrative and caused tremendous harm during the pandemic.
In contrast, Vlad Kogan and I argued 6ft distancing was based on nothing at the time
Social distancing did massive damage and is unscientific

Collins admits that lab leak is not a conspiracy theory
What explains Mr. Collins’ overall behavior?
Is it possible that Francis Collins knew that NIH funded risky gain of function coronavirus research in Wuhan. And when the pandemic began, he worried this would be revealed and tirelessly suppressed debate? Was his embrace of draconian restrictions—lockdown, school closure, masking toddlers and vaccine mandates— motivated by his own guilt? Classically, no one blunders harder like someone who is trying to hide their mistakes.
Francis Collins was a poor NIH director. He made false promises about the value of genomics and continued a Byzantine grant mechanism without ever assessing it properly. He tried to stifle coronavirus debate, and that might be because he was complicit in the viral origin. History should hold leaders who failed (Fauci, Walensky, Murthy, Collins, Jha, Brixs, Adams) accountable and not lavish them with false awards. I hope the House continues to investigate. I suspect the rot runs deeper.
Collins wasn’t just a poor director. He’s a criminal along with Fauci, Walensky, Murthy, Jha, Birx, Adams. The institutions are fully rotten and need to be shut down or completely revamped.
Holding these public health people accountable( by that I mean punished) should not have to wait for “ history”’s judgement. There is ample evidence of their perfidy.
Each of the named “ leaders” had a staff of MD PhDs , MD MPHs, PhDs working for them. It is untenable that they were ALL incompetent,or that they did not w how to read the literature past and current).This was a conspiracy to lie to the public, and to censor and cancel the Drs and scientists who were honest and correct on both the science and what should be done.
This is criminal
