Dr. Monica Ganhdi has been outspoken, at several stages, about where she thought the pandemic would be headed. @mehdirhasan asks her if it’s time for her to stop making such broad forecasts. WATCH:

I love you more than I did before @mehdirhasan for being the only person in media to ever question this person who gets so much platforming to be so repeatedly wrong

Why does she keep getting interviews? Shouldn't people who are so wrong about everything so often fade into oblivion? Or is this how the post-factual era is going to work from now on?

Moving goalposts... to say she meant only SF when clearly she implied her predictions would be true everywhere. Yet a place even better vaxed, more isolated, and more masked than SF has the worst Omicron wave in the US...

Meanwhile Guam has surged to the worst in the U.S. for new cases per capita. While we are probably peaking, it's still hard to reconcile this with >90% eligible fully vax rate and respectable mask use in public.

Thank you for this. So frustrating that she rarely acknowledges that what she says applies only to highly vaccinated areas, which are few and far between in the US. Yet her op-eds get used in low vax areas to "prove" pandemic is "over" & everyone is safe.

I'm in a highly vaxxed community, hospitals were not overwhelmed, but clinics, pharmacies, testing sites were. Mild cases of COVID still have negative ramifications on our medical infrastructure. A parent called me crying that her medically fragile child couldn't get a ped appt.

I respect and admire Monica Gandhi greatly and also agree her communication has been reckless in ways that don’t lead the community to protect the most vulnerable people. Aside from the death snd illness, has been the hardest part of the pandemic for me personally.
