Reply #36: To repeat myself (in case you missed it)

"It is appropriate to prepare for future pandemics. It is also morally imperative that we be truth-tellers. (That's how I used to define 'epidemiologist' when someone asked what it meant.)"

As an epidemiologist who has worked at the state (Tennessee, New Mexico, Wyoming), federal (CDC, NIH) and tribal (Navajo, Zuni, Acoma, Laguna, Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone) levels, I stand by every word I posted.

If you want a copy of my cv, just pm me with your email address and I'll be happy to send it to you. If you have credentials as an epidemiologist yourself, I'd love to know what they are.

BTW, since you don't have a profile posted here, I have no idea how long you've been a part of DU or anything else about you. (Curious that you don't want the rest of us to know who you are, isn't it?) I've been here for over four years now (and my profile is posted), so I don't need a lecture from you about how to behave here at DU, thank you very much.
