because the science matters. This new SA variant could be more transmissible or it could not be. Lets stick to the actual data and go from there.
- nicoburns 5y agoThe question is: what do you do in the absence of data, or with only very preliminary data? By the time the scientists have had chance to fully investigate the moment for action has often passed.
- hellbannedguy 5y agoYou say you don't know.
- wnevets 5y agoProbably the same thing as if a new variant didn't exist. Get vaccinated, wear mask, etc.
- landemva 5y ago'... what do you do in the absence of data, or with only very preliminary data?' Stop shoveling carbs at every meal. Lose 30 pounds. Start to exercise and increase cardio-pulmonary performance. It appears most people in developed countries became couch potatoes and gained fat. To each his own. My body, my choice. Your body, your choice.

- cinntaile 5y agoI think we are misunderstanding each other. I asked why it matters if Vincent being wrong means that the scientists that wrote the article would be wrong. To me it is a natural thing that happens in science. Of course the scientists can be wrong?
- wnevets 5y agobecause I was getting the impression the person I replied to was trying to frame the situation as a YouTuber vs Scientist argument. That of course wasn't the reality.
