It's hypocritical.

Well, there's something very wrong with our entire approach to public health.

And hopefully we are going to confront it because they've effectively staged a coup against doctors and they're dispensing very low quality advice.

I mean, it's really the inverse of good advice.

But this brings me back actually to Sam because

There's a dire lesson here.

For one thing, I quite like Sam also.

And I will tell you, one of the early experiences I had as I was getting to know him was that I heard him say something that I had said many, many times as a professor, which is that, and I said it, I think, at the beginning of this podcast, that when you are wrong...

that as painful as it is to acknowledge it, you are far better off to get it done as quick as possible so that you can get back to being right.

And I heard Sam say something almost exactly like that, right?

And I thought, ah, here's somebody who has the same intellectual approach, somebody who appreciates that same, maybe slightly subtle piece of wisdom.

And yet here in the case of the pandemic,

I think he got everything wrong.

And worse than that, I mean, you and I both think that you can get stuff wrong and it was a very confusing time and the information was very low quality and lots of people got stuff wrong.

You are now making unforced errors, refusing to see that you got it wrong.

In fact, you're not even acknowledging what you know, Sam.

You have stopped getting boosters for COVID, despite all of the things that you said about it.

How do you know he stopped getting boosters?

Because he said so.

I believe he said so.
