The media sites you linked to are not "broad" at all. They are all very much left-of-center and toe a very ideologically consistent line of standard left of center COVID Hawkishness. The kind of people that told us we definitely needed to mask up outdoors last year and never apologized when it was quietly acknowledged that masking outdoors was utter nonsense and never backed by science. This cabal of ideologues in media have done nothing but back "abundance of caution" policies with zero limiting principle of analysis of costs. Rather than critique and hold the public health officials accountable, they have simply licked their boots the entire pandemic. I'm a lifelong Democratic voter, and it's become utterly transparent and obvious that the western media is filled with quantitatively/statistically illiterate activists masquerading as journalists. The CDC numbers on the risk of young people with covid speak for themselves. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics All age groups under the age of 30 COMBINED make up LESS THAN 1% OF DEATHS. For all age groups under the age of 50, the total is less than 6% of deaths. If you're going to complain about "worthwhile conversation", I would suggest understanding statistics before you get into conversations where you are clearly out of your depth.
