This article didn't convince me at all. For example, there is no clear proof that masks help to reduce infections. It is unclear why but risk compensation could be a reason. Diet soda – it clearly hasn't reduced diabetes incidence. In fact, it is now thought that it is not only glucose but the effect on gut signalling can be deleterious. It doesn't mean that all assumptions about risk compensation were correct. But even rising motorcycle deaths is not a good example because the happened after they helmets were required which made bikers more complacent. In other times we are fine with risk compensation happening because it allows us to do more at the same risk level. The things about covid (masks, testing) haven't aged well. The Europe is going back to lockdowns despite doing all these things and having good vaccination levels on top of it. Somehow they haven't really worked at all.
