Seems reasonable - the temporary eradication of the flu did raise red flags. One thing, though. In your conclusion you make a non-specific call for revolution. I hope/presume that is hyperbolic - I don't endorse that. I believe it is important though to understand the pandemic not merely as garden-variety corruption but as a structural problem within our political system. I argue that our wholesale integration of science into the fabric of our political system is a mistake. Politics is about messy/dirty distribution of power whereas science in its truest form is almost religious search for truth. Just as there is a the firewall of the separation of church and state, there must be an equal separation of science and state.
