@voxdotcom Why would you publish this?
The author, Clay Ackerly, a doctor but not epidemiologist, should take just one evidence based medicine course
One physican's experience with one patient does not rewrite the textbook on immunity and herd immunityhttps://t.co/HqSnHYJsQw

Oh, Vox will publish any old shit. No one knows if herd immunity is possible or not yet. No one. I suspect it is, but this wanker certainly has no fucking clue.
I think the fundamental rot at the core of our iteratively more dysfunctional culture is just dishonesty. We're meant to personally integrate explicit falsehoods with the expectation that they'll make us more ethical/likely to err in preferable directions. This. Will. Backfire.

Great insight. Thus, we have woke/cancel culture, which is really about competition over good jobs.
We have #metoo, which became about competition over jobs and suppressing dating market competition.
We had that wearing masks and social distancing was racism and xenophobia. Now, we have that disliking TikTok and its feeding data to the CCP is racism and xenophobia.
See a common theme? I do. Mason picked up on exactly what’s going on here — under liberalism, we are supposed to assimilate absolute falsehoods for the cause. But fuck the cause if I am supposed to believe and promulgate codswallop. I’d rather the cause die than degrade myself to that level.
It's just miserable for kids to be deprived of in-person education and social contact with their peers for this long. The consequences could be enormous. We're living through a state/governance failure of almost unfathomable proportions https://t.co/fc6GjYHQ3Q

People are just now realizing what I realized was going to happen way back in February.
Glad all y’all could join me! Wish I’d been wrong!
