... aaaaand @ComicDaveSmith jumps the shark. Dave, you're doing great with your work with Mises caucus. And in principle objections to lockdowns are understandable. But *do not* tell people the delta variant is not more dangerous. At the very least the science is not clear yet.
If your philosophy is that lockdowns or restrictions are unacceptable that's totally up to you, or if it's that the government can't be trusted to implement them, again fine. It's irresponsible to say the data is somehow exaggerated. We don't yet know, it's too new.
Protect your reputation, we need voices that are sane and not be tarred with strong positions that are risky to take unless you really know what you are talking about. The doctors I watch are very concerned, and trust me they are not in Fauci's pocket, so it doesn't seem as clear
See for instance @Johnincarlisle is a doctor, extremely even keeled and does not talk out of his ass. See this video discussing e.g. Delta and also ivermectin. Not quite the party line.
There's a real issue with libertarian takes to the pandemic: To the virus we're one species not a set of individuals. We affect each other and *most of all* we are mutation space. Maybe bottom up distributed response is the answer, but the case must be made head on, not by denial
Don't fall for Fauci Derangement Syndrome. Even if he says it, it still might be true.

Clarification: He's a doctor as in PhD, not doctor as in MD.
