Just for the purpose of proving the obvious: for a moment, let’s humor the senile Hinderaker, in his fantasy: let’s assume he could prove that the virus was an inadvertent escape from a Chinese lab.

Those are his words.

How would he have handled the pandemic crisis differently? Note that he and Trump did no better that the nation did a century ago, in the Spanish flu of 1918.

In fact, since we had a vaccine — he did considerably worse.

Hinderaker said the dying would be over at around 30,000… just a normal bad flu season he said. In the end, more than a million people died in the US alone.

Boy, was he ever a… malevolent idiot. But knowing that it came from a lab would NOT have reduced the vaccine’s effectiveness — no, the only thing that delayed our response… was Trump.

Trump — with his inject bleach, and take horse de-wormer advice.

So — this will likely be the last I’ll mention of Hinderaker’s inability to understand basic pandemic biology. [He just wishes to assuage his guilt — over his deadly wrong advice over the Summer of 2020.]

He has truly lost whatever little sense he ever had, on the topic.

Out.
