Former statistician turned author Regina Watteel: Politics dictated the science

Former statistician turned author Regina Watteel: "When you look at these institutions, there's a lot going on, especially when you look at University of Toronto. They played a pretty central role...A lot of their people were on the Ontario Science Table and even the university itself had implemented measures that made their affiliations with the pharmaceutical companies, you see huge conflict of interest. They are partnering with Moderna and the University of Toronto like many universities had received a lot of funding to combat vaccine hesitancy and so there is a huge conflict of interests with the University of Toronto. And I that needs to be looked in to and investigated. We've seen throughout the pandemic that anyone who props up the government's narrative gets a lot of play and scientists who go against that are pretty much censored. So it's pretty clear to me this has not been about the science, it's been who will go along with the narrative. And that narrative has been predominantly political...politics dictated the science and that's exactly what happened during the pandemic. We see that the government really wasn't following the science in the normal sense of the world. So most people look at the hard sciences as the science, but really what the government was following was the behavioral science and using manipulated statistics and foam modeling to drive behavioral change and to get people to comply with what the government wanted and that was the main trust of pandemic science."
