During the height of the COVID pandemic few “experts” fanned the national hysteria more than Dr. Leana Wen and she was at it again with a panic-soaked warning about an outbreak of measles in Florida that didn’t live up to her hype.
The former leader of Planned Parenthood was a fixture on CNN during the hellish COVID years, lecturing Americans about vaccines and mask mandates with a wicked grin plastered across her face, and in a recent column for the Washington Post, the Chinese-born fearmonger aimed at a familiar target: the Sunshine State.
“Maybe parents will do the right thing anyway and Florida’s outbreak will get under control,” Leana S. Wen writes.
“More likely than not, though, it will get a lot worse. What a devastating — and preventable — tragedy that would be.” https://t.co/BYSTpeXPIB

“In Broward County, Fla., six students at a single elementary school recently became infected with measles. Two more cases of the highly infectious virus have been reported in the county,” Wen wrote. “Yet instead of following the well-established public health playbook to curb the outbreak, Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo has done the unthinkable: telling parents they could defy health guidance and continue sending unvaccinated kids exposed to measles to school.”
“Her MMR vaccine-pimping op ed however was just more of the same exaggeration from Dr. Wen with the handful of cases being successfully confined with no “devastating — and preventable — tragedy,” and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson pointed out the continuation of her miserable track record, asking when she plans to correct her ‘sad shriek’ of a screed.
“Hey @DrLeanaWen, do you plan to update this sad shriek of an article now that the Florida measles “outbreak” – all nine cases of it – has ended with no more infections? (As far as I can tell, there were no hospitalizations and of course no deaths in this “devastating tragedy.”), ,” Berenson wrote on X.

“…the elite media couldn’t be more tiresome or predictable. Measles cluster among schoolkids in Florida last month, cue the screaming about @GovRonDeSantis. Cluster among migrants in Chicago this week (a TRULY preventable outbreak, we chose to let them in), no one says a word,” he wrote in a second post on Wen’s column.

Others opined on Dr. Wen’s lack of credibility with critical thinkers who don’t watch CNN or read the Liberal Washington Post.
Leana should be stripped of medical license and never featured in the media again after her disastrous and fascist Covid policy positions

Has she ever gotten anything right? She should leave the public eye for everyone’s sake (but she won’t)

Neither she nor the Washington Post will recant because they are trying to incite hysteria as part of a political agenda. It’s why the Post lost 500,000 subscribers the past two years and fired 240 employees a few months ago.

When she said this was a “devastating tragedy,” all she meant was that it was politically useful. Now it’s not.

And she’s at it again

She a panic mongering fool. I do it know what grift she’s running by I bet it’s worth millions.

No Alex, she will do nothing of the sort. You, me, the truth, none of us put money in her purse like the communists do. Her actions will always be dictated by what it takes to be “in the club” and “in the money”.
Anything else is nonsense to her. Bottom line:

That Wen is still given attention by the corrupt mainstream media shows that there will be no accountability for the COVID misinformation peddled by the federal government and so-called “experts” like her.
