1. Masks: https://youtu.be/fT7BJWUt4w4?t=540 https://youtu.be/fT7BJWUt4w4?t=540 9:00 - 9:30 2. Lab Leak: I remember you basically couldn't even bring up the lab leak theory here on HN a year ago. I'm not going to be gaslighted in to thinking that the debate between "lab leak" and "meat market" was just people debating probabilities. No. If you brought up "lab leak" you were dismissed as an unscientific racist. That didn't happen with the meat market theory. 3.

If the BLM protests didn't spread covid, great. But, if that's the case, other outdoor events wouldn't have either. Yet they were still closing down beaches and parks. How can they do that without increasing people's skepticism. > It's reasonable to say that people should focus on directing others to experts, and not and try to reinterpret or make predictions of their own. Sure, that's perfectly reasonable to say. But that isn't the issue. The issue is forcing people who do voice their own skepticism out of public discourse, when even the main stream media can't agree week to week.
