Do you think that countries that took proper measures and got COVID down are essentially now the role models for the other half of the world to scorn mask wearing and say “See, everyone is fine, it’s a hoax.”?
Like one group justifying themselves because of president of another (even though they are comparing apples to oranges)?
- pjc50 6y agoNo, because they're completely independent; there's an entire industry of claiming that stuff is a hoax. Anyone paying attention to those countries will notice that they generally had high rates of mask wearing and generally took it seriously after the previous SARS. Most of the COVID contrarianism is a product of the political system, not of reality.
- gabereiser 6y agoThat’s what I mean. Politics using reality reference as a political argument reference. A kin to correlation does not equal causation.
