comorbidities. yet the message was out there that anybody with hypertension, high blood pressure, was at high risk for covid. that was false. we knew that. i showed the peepers to the people and task force back in the summer of 2020. they didn t just deny it or didn t know it. they simply said i was an outlier and kept repeating this information. so we have to remember, these people were not only, as you say, incompetent. i was stunned. there was a moral big calm sea, complete failure of public health leadership which continues today because these people don t take it upon himself to no end to say it truthfully. they have inculcated this culture of severe fear. you should read about this in my book but basically this was an intentional inculcation of fear in the american public. it was admitted to me in the task force room itself. this could never happen again.
