The quoted thread, applies to all aspects of COVID policy.

One can’t discuss the limitations of archaic compartmental models, subtleties of inferential statistics, & computational modeling under uncertainty to incurious, social-credit seeking politicized acolytes.
People do not realize how numerically naive the medical establishment, & life science in general, is & has always been.

Add politics to the mix, & it becomes a potent mix of tribalism & misinformed morality.

I went silent when my current family got drawn in w/ repeated doxxing.
Some public Twatter profiles who bravely do not tow the line:
@VPrasadMDMPH, @MonicaGandhi9, @TracyBethHoeg,
@sdbaral,
@MartinKulldorff

They can only say so much w/ careers & professional standing on the line.

Few know that 2 have a more wrong than right politicized boss.
If you’re frustrated by some of their views, they’re probably getting things right.

Disclosure: in Feb 2020, I thought community masking & enhanced hygiene à la RoK might be effective mitigations for society (w/o notably changing the AUC). By April, it was clearly wrong.
In the end, this vegetarian, bike commuting, unabashed left-coast treehugger who had never voted Republican for national office is done w/ Democrats for now.

Health authoritarianism & tribalism are bad because authoritarianism & tribalism are bad. I felt the same way after 9/11.
