The group has made a name for itself by issuing regular projections of the course the COVID-19 pandemic is taking in our country. These projections, drawn from data analysis, are usually accompanied by recommendations addressed to decision-makers in both the public and private sectors.

But it is strange that the scientists belonging to this private research group — rather than the public officials actually in charge of the government response to the pandemic — are themselves the focus of the proposed congressional inquiry. As far as I know, the OCTA research team does not make decisions that bind the entire nation. Its work is limited to sharing its own views of what is happening and what needs to be done. No one is obliged to believe them.

If the OCTA researchers are guilty of issuing alarmist and unfounded pronouncements, it is their peers in academe and their respective disciplines that should call them out and challenge their findings. So, what in heaven’s name did the OCTA group think they were doing when suddenly they were tracking not the coronavirus but the fortunes of politicians?
