2 yrs ago, to raise awareness for the #MillionsMissing due to #MECFS, I started a ๐Ÿงต on how tragic chronic illness has consumed my life

This is just crazy. Mainstream experts have been trying to get through with almost no success. But take an out-there position and you get access. Of course take extra precautions for the most vulnerable. But don't relax everything else before evidence these precautions work.
The argument is incoherent if you don't do low-cost low-inconvenience things like universal masking. Surely any rational strategy uses low-downside strategies to reduce transmission in the whole population while shielding the vulnerable.
Two of these scientists, @SunetraGupta and @MartinKulldorff, have long been my friends. But I think they are dead wrong without a demonstrated plan for how such shielding would work. There is no good example in a dense western country.
