Masks, social distancing (6ft, stickers, circles, plastic shields), 5% projected death toll, did not come from lab, don’t question, no alternate views allowed, mark and ban things on all major social media channels if they are deemed “harmful misinformation”. This was my life while living in SF at the start of the pandemic.
Yeah I think we need some intellectual humility. And I definitely listen for intellectual humility when I’m reading or listening to something.

In Germany the messaging was: - It's just some Chinese flu, stop fearmongering - It's bad but masks don't work, stop panicking - Masks work but it cannot spread via air, just don't touch anything when you go shopping while infected - It is actually extremely infectious and only vaccines help, natural immunity does not count - All the dystopian vaccine passports, regulations, segregations and punishments did not even put a dent in the curve but now it's over thanks to Omicron and we no longer talk about it And today we still refuse to openly talk on what happened or prepare a plan to prevent it next time... unbelievable. Scientists should have refused to visit political talkshows because now they have to share the reputation damage caused by media and politics.
