Francis Collins, MD, PhD, and the former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), performed a COVID-themed song parody of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" at the 2024 Yale School of Medicine Commencement yesterday.
Just last week the Select Subcommittee On The Coronavirus Pandemic released a transcript of Collins' testimony before the committee. It revealed there was no science behind social distancing, the lab leak theory was legit and not a conspiracy theory, the Great Barrington Declaration which challenged the scientific basis of mass lockdowns was also not a conspiracy theory and more.
Collins, who previously worked on a fellowship at Yale, offered advice to the graduates: "Failure is an inescapable part of being a physician and a scientist. Don’t fear it. Learn from it.”
Instead of learning from the failure of covid vaccines, though, Collins ended his parody song by smiling, and touting covid vaccines.
In his comments Collins even said it initially “seemed like science had triumphed” once covid vaccines were launched. Then he lamented about how "large numbers of Americans were not getting vaccinated because of rumors and conspiracy theories about the vaccine."
“These were deaths from science misinformation. I know of no other way to say it: our culture wars killed hundreds of thousands of Americans,” said Collins. “These were good, honorable people who for a multitude of reasons lost trust in the scientific process.”
Collins cautioned, “The consequences of this growing distrust of all institutions, including science and medicine, are truly serious for our nation, and for our world,” he said has he pointed to "the next pandemic" and "addressing climate change."
In language and tone that mirrored that of Anthony Fauci speaking at a medical school graduation at Columbia University last week, Collins--Fauci's former boss-- challenged the Yale Grads “to a commitment to re-anchor ourselves to objective truth” and then emphasized that “there really is objective truth and there really are no alternative facts.”
One has to wonder...
What does Collins think about all of the research in the NIH database that shows covid vaccines are dangerous and potentially deadly? Are those research articles not objective truth?
What did Collins think about Pfizer's April 2021 post-marketing report that featured nine pages of adverse events? Is that not objective truth?
What does Collins think about the 1,637,441 adverse event reports that covid vaccines have racked up through April 26, 2024, making covid vaccines the most dangerous of all, including:
And never forget the mutating definition of what it means to be "fully vaccinated."
Perhaps it will always be too soon to sing frivolously about thousands of deaths and devastating injuries in a song.
