She was just on Joe Rogan. Fascinating.

Annie Jacobsen manages to get most of the topics she covers pretty wrong. Take what she says with a healthy grain of salt. It isn’t fascinating if it’s wrong.

So what does she get wrong in this book?

We weren’t so far off with the COVID-19 pandemic. It had a pretty high infection rate, but way short of what the measles has. It had a relatively low mortality rate compared to the original SARS virus, which was around 10%. It pretty much mostly killed old people, as compared to the 1980 flu, which killed young people.

I haven't read this book, but I have seen some of her work on nuclear weapons, and she has some fairly bizarre misunderstandings about how the NCA exercises nuclear weapons C2. People I respect in that field dismiss her as a sensationalist hack. Take that for what it is worth.

It cracks me up that for years cranks like him said "Autism is caused by vaccines!", only to get in a position of responsibility and then... pivot to "Autism is caused by prenatal Tylenol!" followed quickly by "Being circumcised causes Autism!"

Turns out that science is harder than they thought, I guess? What a bunch of fucking idiots.

It's not hard, it's just inconvenient. It's easier to drag the country down with them than admit they were wrong.

So discouraging...

Don't worry, they still believe that BS.
