This seems to be an Appeal to Ethos. I don't think that would be justified. Additionally, making unsupported claims is just that. Anyone could anonymously claim anything, but we do…

I see. For instance, it might not have been them who made it up, it could have been someone else. However, given all of the information known at the time, there's little evidence t…

While I understand that you're not equivocally saying that their claims are true, but you are absolutely appealing to someone's reputation as an authority on the topic to suggest w…

Noticed? Doesn't one need evidence to notice something or does imagination suffice?

Businesses are in no way obligated to not discriminate (so long as it's not a reason that's due to a protected class). It seems like you disagree.

Sounds like an explanation of why labor costs are a employer's largest expense.

Hours of asses in chairs isn't really a measurement of goals being meet. The quality of the time spent is what gets the goals met.

I think the term uncomfortable people is a flippant and trivial term when it comes to the details listed in that link.

A reduction of symptoms but not a statistical reduction in viral load? That's an odd combination of outcomes.
