Eric Topol, who was somewhat knowledgeable about Covid (I was not a huge fan of his but I know I have posted 1 or 2 of his tweets, most of which were just quoting data) but had a huge twitter following, must have also had TDS and was able to successfully get the Covid vaccine approval delayed by a few weeks until after the election.   Although @Casual Observer is an idiot, he had brought this up earlier, and I apologize for not addressing it. I was initially not really interested in the political side of the Covid discussion (and after all, I did vote for Trump).  But now that Covid is basically over I think it’s fair to rehash some of the mistakes that were made and I’d put this up there as it cost lives during a rise in cases/deaths, and his motivation appears to be more political than scientific. https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/10/19/1010646/campaign-stop-covid-19-vaccine-trump-election-day/amp/
