Andy Slavitt has taken every opportunity to push panic and engage in self-promotion. He unironically stated that we could "virtually eradicate" COVID-19 with a 4-6 week lockdown, which he defined as roughly what California has done to date to a T. https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1349845492860121091
Andy doesn't want to permit interstate travel, or for virtually any establishment to be open at all. This sounds like the view of someone who has never heard of a cost/benefit analysis - except his econ degree from Wharton says otherwise. https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1287524334429507585
Andy prematurely congratulated Hawaii for "stepping up their game" to "eradicate" the virus.
COVID-19 cases in Hawaii grew from <10/day when he made this absurd statement to >300/day by August. https://twitter.com/malkusm/status/1290501937037742080

Andy called for 750,000 tests per week early on in the pandemic as a prerequisite for "reopening America."
We now perform roughly 2,000,000 tests per *day*, but Andy continues to call for increased testing anyway. https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1244352646133288962

Finally, let's not forget that Andy Slavitt openly insinuated that the state of Florida was cooking its COVID-19 books in May by classifying COVID deaths as pneumonia instead. The definition of conspiracy theory. https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1266213763604152321
