In Reply to: I have to agree with bean about McNamara. posted by ghost of olddude55 on November 21, 2020 at 09:43:05:
He mistrusted that "data" but lied to the American public about it, thereby prolonging a war he knew damn well was unwinnable (not to mention the moral question).
What's going on with covid is almost the reverse. Data and advice based on that data provided by the worldwide medical community is basically as accurate and sensible as they can get it, yet way too many fools in and out of government refuse to accept it and act accordingly. The U.S. and many other countries are reaping the cost of that lack of acceptance right now.
