I definitely do not believe NZ’s claim they eradicated COVID with “95% probability.” [1] I do not trust that number at all. [1]: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/07/world/australia/…

I think people can tell that bullshit has been spewed in all directions. Nobody is looking good here. Nobody is above reproach.

What about viral reservoirs?

They’ve certainly changed my vote. Wow.

That’s an overly simplistic and reductive view of free speech rights. Can my internet service provider shut off my access if I spend too much time reading “misinformation”? Can the…

The medical chauvinism on display here is the real disaster. We need to have a broader conversation.

That is indeed the simple solution to a complex problem advocated by government propaganda, yes.

The WHO estimated 750 million cumulative infections on Friday. This error is not unbelievable because the system is just a bit of political theater. There’s nothing more we can do …

This culture of deceit needs to change. I don’t blame anybody for not following the rules.

That really does sound like ideology cloaked in common sense. Demand for great healthcare is already essentially infinite no matter what new technology comes along, and we need a s…

Nine out of ten people are not being sent to the doctor for no reason. The rest of this comment is catastrophizing. 10% positive predictive value for something like this is pretty …

If people can live in Florida, I think humanity can make it through climate change.
