Upon careful deliberation, I hereby announce that I am leaving team reality and joining team apocalypse. Below I list my reasons to do so, which, after you all read, should convince you that it is for the best to leave team reality. (1/x)
First, I will no longer need to scrutinize studies, analyze data, question the messaging, and request evidence of whether a measure against COVID actually works. I will just believe in what I am told. Much less cognitive effort. (2/x)
Second, when confronted by a member of team reality, I will not have to actually share evidence of what I claim to be true. I will just throw a few insults and then block. That will save a lot of time! (3/x)
Third, I will only focus on one outcome, which is eradicating COVID and eliminating only COVID deaths. Much more straightforward! I will not have to think about other harm being done in the process, as that harm is happening unseen and will take time to be trendy anyway! (4/x)
If this is not enough justification to convince you that team apocalypse is the obvious choice, I don't know what is and you all are morons! Have fun with your data and your search for evidence! You all are blocked! (5/5)

A new study that found that repeated MRNA vaccines result in antibody type switch to IgG4 is making rounds.

Here is what I (a non-expert) understood from reading a few threads ⬇️ (1/6)
1. Different types of antibodies have different functions.

2. After multiple vaccines, the ratio of type4 antibodies increase relative to others.

3. Type4 is the one that tells our body to ignore the intruder. (2/6)
What does this mean? Yet unknown, but potentially more infections when spread is high.

How about the severity?

Unknown, but I have a laypersons theory ⬇️ (3/6)

I feel for the democrats who, for the first time in their lives, will be voting red this election...

They cannot be very happy about it. They watched their party abandon all the values that made it attractive to them. (1/x)
Liberalism used to be about equal access and civil rights. It used to be about freedom of speech. It used to be about caring.

Democrat ruling class destroyed all of these in their pursuit of wokeism, and more recently, zeroCOVID. (2/x)
Civil rights turned into vax passports.

Freedom of speech turned into cancel culture.

Caring turned into medical fascism. (3/x)

This is in response to my tweet about how suspending ~50 accounts could end the pandemic.

I agree - people out there do not care about Twitter covidians as 99% of the country doesn't even know who Ding or Greggggg or Slavit is...

Still, Twitter matters. Why? (1/x)
Because those who make policy, or at least those who advise the people who make policy, ARE on Twitter.

Time and again they have proven that they make decisions and guidance not based on science, but based on how the Twitter mob reacts. (2/x)
Remember this?

Remember the reaction to this and how they pivoted a week later?

If this had survived the mob, we would have long left COVID behind. (3/x)

I just did a "Team Reality Origin Stories" interview with @erichhartmann , which made me think (and Erich will probably be mad at me for not talking about this in the interview):

My biggest issue with COVID NPIs is that they hurt the poor the most, because I grew up poor. (1/x)
I could immediately empathize with dads who lost their jobs and were unable to provide for their kids. Because my dad never had a well-paying job, and my mom didn't work.

I could immediately empathize with kids who were denied school because I went to a low-means school. (2/x)
I could immediately empathize with kids who were not allowed in playgrounds because I rarely had access to a good one.

I could immediately empathize with families losing access to public libraries because I knew how important they were. (3/x)

A shooting happens, and as usual, the discussion revolves around the extreme views...

"That's why we need to ban guns..."

"This is a mental health issue"... (1/x)
Sorry, left, you cannot ban guns.

Sorry, right, this is not a mental health issue. Not 100%.

Why can we never elevate the opinions in the middle and work from there? (2/x)
On abortion:

"They want to ban all abortion!"
"They want to allow it up to 9 months!"

On immigration:

"They want open borders!"
"They want to ban all immigration!" (3/x)

Nobody said, “we are resilient, we will get through this”.

They all said, “kids are resilient, they will be fine".

Because they knew what was being done to kids was not right. (1/x)

profthinks.substack.com/p/war-on-kids?…
They knew what was done to kids during the pandemic was immoral, selfish, bordering outright evil. They did it anyway...

But it was not completely unexpected... (2/x)
More and more, families with young kids are from a demographic which has little influence on policy.

They are mostly working-class low-income families.

The richer you get, the fewer (or no) kids you have. (3/x)
