From el gato malo:

"this MIT article seems to have noticed... that team reality is, in fact, well grounded in reality and science. this was never some gang of dimwits and conspiracists, it was a group with serious intellect and empiricism."

"we came to our conclusions because we engaged with the data, and many of us are very good at engaging with data, FAR better than the public health “C team” of self serving scrubs playing at being ready for the big leagues"

"their fragile and dogmatic cathedral cannot possibly stand against our bazaar of ideas and refutation. the coddled grow weak, venal, and dishonest. the challenged grow strong and gain wisdom."

"this was never a fair fight, it was folks honed and strengthened by a free market against the stunted little trees of bureaucratic fiefdoms and the academic/political weathervanes happy to sell out what they know to be facts for grant money and prominence"

"they sought to vilify us, to discredit us, and to remove us from public debate. but the facts are and always have been the facts and the fact is this: NPI's do NOT work to stop a respiratory virus."

"but ask yourself this simple question: when was the last time you saw the side seeking to censor the other in a debate and be the side of right or of factual accuracy?"

"many of us stood up early on and called this out as pseudoscience and authoritarian political adventurism. many paid prices for it... proud to have stood with so many of you: on rational ground."
