Regarding the mis- and disinformation spread by some in the Stanford pandemic conference, I strongly recommend that readers pick up a copy of Michael Lewis's "The Premonition". This is a fascinating and extremely well-written book for the average reader rather than for scientists.
Lewis goes into deep detail about data & science developed during more than 15 years prior to the Covid19 pandemic which demonstrates that the Covid19 vaccines weren't 'invented' from zero but based on existing microbiology results from which the Covid19 vaccines were developed, and that social distancing directives were based on effective strategies to slow the spread of the air-borne virus. The latter was exemplified (and described in detail in the book) by comparison of the different strategies by two towns during the 1918 influenza pandemic.

How anyone can still support this pathetic man is beyond me.
