Politicians “Spinning” Science as the Virus Spreads

Dr. Anderson is the author of Universal Death Care: A Solution for Healthcare in the Age of Entitlement. Dr. Anderson was a combat doctor in Iraq, and has since run a successful medical clinic in the U.S. He wrote this book because he is tired of profit-driven policies that don’t support American’s health. For this reason, Anderson has dedicated his life to changing healthcare in America.

What Dr. Anderson Can Say in

Top Trump administration officials were said to have pressured the C.D.C. to recommend narrower criteria for who should be tested for the virus.

  • Widespread testing for COVID is one of the most pivotal measures that must be taken in order to isolate those who are capable of spreading the infection and to flatten the curve.

  • Germany and South Korea were able to limit the spread of COVID due to early and extensive testing that resulted in strict isolation of those who were infectious. This has resulted in less than 10,000 deaths in Germany (population 83 million) and less than 500 deaths in South Korea (population 52 million). Compare this to 179,000 deaths in the US (population 330 million). 
  • Since COVID can be carried and spread by asymptomatic individuals, it is absolutely crucial to test as many people as possible and then to test everyone with whom they have come in contact with so that the infection can be contained. Not testing those who have been exposed to someone with known infection is missing the mark and is one of the factors that has led to the unnecessary situation we now face in the USA.
  • The above situation highlights the problem with politicians trying to “spin” science. There is no “spin” to science. It is above this frivolous and faulty fray, and the longer we allow COVID, and healthcare in general, to be the plaything of our politicians, the longer we will experience the death and disease resulting from their squabble.
