Ignoring your gross misrepresentation of the Great Barrington declaration, one might ask why you aren’t commenting on the scientific merit of his critique, but rather shouting “wrong team!”
- drewbug01 3y agoAnother way of reading this other than “wrong team” (which is itself a culture-war-centric comment to make)… is “this person has stupid ideas, so this idea might be stupid too.” (Whether or not the idea is, in fact, stupid is not my point - rather, you choose to read a culture war into it but there are other ways to read it.)
- omginternets 3y agoThe non-culture-war approach would have been to enumerate the author's ideas and show why they are stupid. We are left to deduce this is a knee-jerk "wrong team" response.
- jupp0r 3y agoAre you saying that GBD did not want to let people get infected with COVID?
- omginternets 3y agoNo, I’m suggesting there was a reasoning behind why he thought this was preferable to the lockdowns.
