He is far less interesting than Anne Schuchat (the real POI for me on the above) but I'm glad to have been reminded about Frieden's March 2023 WSJ piece and my analysis of it.
EDIT: the data discrepancies have never been resolved and the spring 2020 death toll (covid and non) - and event curve - is unsubstantiated.
"Contagion & CDC - Now on DVD" (September 6, 2011)
From the writeup:
"Kate Winslet's character in the film Contagion is modeled after Schuchat and her real-life role as a disease detective at CDC."
"[Dr. Schuchat is] part virus hunter, part disease detective, part scientist, part doctor and part emergency responder…with a dash of Hollywood."

Imagine how many lives this exemplary Public Servant has saved! Maybe billions!
(The Show has been going on for quite some time….)
BTW, I object to the existence of the CDC Foundation. "Established by Congress more than two decades ago, the CDC Foundation is an independent, 501(c)(3) public charity." [SOURCE: https://www.cdcfoundation.org/financials]
I've not researched every particular of this^ "foundational" Congressional action/legislation (signed by whichever President), but I consider it illegitimate on its face.
With Varma and similar examples, it's obvious that these episodes and faux disclosures serve the purpose of satiating the public's thirst for bloodlust but reveal nothing we didn't already learn in 2020 via similar examples. Limited hangout after limited hangout.
Meanwhile, no justice, no truth, and an NYC event which - for whatever reasons - even the most ardent COVID shot opponents won't touch.
So many of these questions are met with silence. At the very least, a government by/for the people should be transparent, should it not? And yet so often the response by the powers that be is tennis balls down a curtain. No response.
I expect no response from government and dereliction of duty from mainstream media.
I don't expect silence from other dissidents -- or disparagement and pretending my/colleagues' work on NYC doesn't exist and isn't even worth acknowledgement (perhaps b/c it conflicts with) by Rancourt and colleagues.
Frieden is one of the authors on this recent NYT propaganda piece: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opinion/cdc-leaders-kennedy.html

Yes, I knew about the foundation.

Frieden was too busy with sexcapades to care about truth. https://www.npr.org/2018/08/24/640992992/former-cdc-director-arrested-and-charged-with-sexual-misconduct
Yes, I remember
This is part of what makes/made him easy to leverage
People with things to hide, interests to protect, sins to pay for, etc are easy to use and direct

Very weird.
Well RFK JR has gotten the Dems to support Trump getting the Nobel Prize for Operation Warpspeed now. It's all theater!
The Show Must Go On!
