“In certain ways, it taught me that you could change the world by being a little bit curious about this strange trickle of data that’s coming out.” ~ Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding

HYPOTHESIS: We’re in this pandemic pickle because some pivotal people in power were incurious about COVID.

Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding — known to my fellow Arlingtonians as a neighbor and friend, and across the nation as an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists – was an early voice raising the alarm about COVID back in January 2020. He considers my hypothesis and the catastrophic consequences of incuriosity.
