The Gainesville Sun is running a disparaging piece on me in tomorrow's print edition. This thread summarizes my response, or you can read the whole thing with links to references here

Nathan Crabbe, Opinions Editor at the Gainesville Sun, emailed me: âIâve been following the coverage of your analysis of COVID-19 death certificates. I was planning to write my Sunday column about that and Gov. DeSantisâ other steps to raise questions about COVID reporting.â

Note that he wasnât at all interested in my article about COVID-19 death certificates; he was interested in the COVERAGE of it. That âcoverageâ was mainly a hit piece in the Miami Herald

Crabbe says DeSantis âtries to act like science is on his side in the decisions he makes,â so I guess Crabbe hasnât watched DeSantisâ roundtable with scientists from Harvard and Stanford, who all supported his policies

Crabbe then moves on to my article about death certificates â but, of course, he doesnât deal with the content of the article. He says we âmysteriouslyâ reviewed the death certificates; what he means is that I wonât reveal my source.

Crabbe goes on to disparage my degrees in electrical engineering and Lenâs degrees in economics (from institutions like Princeton, Berkeley, the Air Force Academy, UF, and Stanford) as proof that we canât be trusted to report on government policy changes...

that led to counting COVID deaths that even the WHO says shouldnât be counted. Apparently you canât say that without an approved degree.

In my opinion, one of the biggest mistakes the United States has made regarding COVID-19 was anointing one virologist (Dr. Anthony Fauci) as the âexpertâ and ignoring all opposing views.

Weâve had no public debates, and Fauci has never had to explain why his policies directly contradict the CDCâs own previously-existing pandemic plan.

So instead of allowing debate between scientists who would be forced to defend their views, politicians and the media have decided that there is âconsensus,â and anyone who disagrees must be destroyed.

They are completely uninterested in whether my information about death certificates is correct; they have a narrative to push: that you should be so terrified of getting COVID that you will comply with any restriction they care to place on your life or business.

It is clear that Florida's legacy media outlets are terrified that @GovRonDeSantis will remove restrictions on businesses, effectively freeing Florida from the tyranny of COVID emergency orders

Itâs time for both sides to present their evidence for the people. Since that is unlikely, it's imperative that Florida continues to stand as the counter-example to states like NY, NJ, and Illinois, which have all just announced new restrictions as cases increase.
