Literally no part seems like fear mongering. It even goes out of its way to say this is a risk assessment and the author is not asserting these things _will_ happen.
Seems like perfectly fair lay person analysis to me. It would be somewhat of an argument from authority fallacy to dismiss based only on no health background.
- lvh 7y ago“I’m not saying this will happen but it could” is a pretty standard fear-mongering hedge. (I don’t want to call what they’re doing fear mongering either because that suggests bad intent. I don’t think their intentions are bad. I just think we’re paying a lot of attention to a Twitter thread because it’s on top of Hacker News, not because of its own merits as a well-reasoned argument.)
