COVID revisionists see the public-health response to the pandemic as a failure. But they fail to get the full picture—and that might leave us even less prepared for the next pandemic, Rogé Karma argues.
COVID Revisionism Has Gone Too Far
If the center and left succumb to the view that “nothing worked,” no one will remain to defend sensible public-health measures the next time a pandemic comes around.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

🌍 Why Don’t Governments Use Science?

A @natureportfolio.bsky.social survey found 80% of science-policy experts think governments lack robust systems for science advice - despite crises like COVID-19 showing its value.

How can we bridge the gap?

Trump lied all the way through the campaign saying he knew nothing about Project 2025 and now he's nominating everyone from Project 2025 to serve in his administration.

Messaging wasn't the problem for Kamala. It's that Trump can lie over and over and never pays a price.
