“I think on the back end of this delta wave, this may be our last major surge of coronavirus before we settle into a more seasonal endemic pattern with this virus,” says former FDA head Scott Gottlieb. Aired on 09/22/2021.

1. Delta has surged more than once in other countries

[Rhiannon12866]

3. And what about the Mu variant??

I find this hard to believe because of the number of unvaccinated in this country - and elsewhere - are giving this deadly virus the opportunity to mutate and spread.

[SheltieLover]

5. Yup

This guy is setting the stage for retracting protective measures again.

He can't possibly be this clueless, can he?

[niyad]

7. He was a t**** appointee. Of course he can.

[SheltieLover]

10. Makes sense now that you've clarified that point

Another qpuke...

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Well, he's written a book.

Is there anyone who hasn't just written a book??

[SheltieLover]

12. Why do they write books

I suppose so the RNC can buy them up.

I don't think most of their base reads.

[niyad]

14. He has apparently written several. Given his bent, can only guess at the slant.

2. Sorry, this guy was fda chair under the f'n, murdering orange traitor**. Currently,

amoung all his other reichwing involvements, is his involvement with the american enterprise institute.

4. Thanks!

Chris Hayes seems to like him so I thought it was worth hearing what he had to say.

[SheltieLover]

9. He is not always discerning imo.

[niyad]

11. Chris surprises me sometimes.

[SheltieLover]

13. Not a good judge of character at times imo

[SheltieLover]

6. No wonder

Thx!

[niyad]

15. You are most welcome.

[SheltieLover]

16. 😊

17. so by the same reasoning, it may _not_ be?

It's maddening that people like this are paid to pontificate over logical nothings.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. I'm not willing to waste nearly ten minutes of my precious life.

What exactly is his basis for saying that? Just some kind of magical thinking?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. I am hoping that this is correct

20. He served as a primary advisor to CT democratic governor

Ned Lamont during the state's Covid crisis. He has been quite critical of the Covid policies of Trump, DeSantis and the CDC among others. His tenure at the FDA at least according to Wikipedia appears to have been rather progressive.
Plus he graduated from Wesleyan, so you know he's pretty bright.
