Some feedback coming back at me is deeply troubling. Here is an #FAQ.
Q: The variants now are a lot less lethal. Why do you not see this?
A: I do see this. I agree. I don’t claim otherwise anywhere.
Q: So you think @CDCgov shouldn’t change its mind?
A: That is absurd.

Q: So you think that @CDCgov shouldn’t be in a position to strongly push free people towards masks, testing, vaccinations?
A: Where are you reading this exactly? Maybe lay off the weed. Exotic powers are awful but necessary (e.g. Plague, Spanish Flu).
Q: Quarantine?
A: Rarely.

Q: Quarantine?
A: Rarely.
Q: So what then is your issue?
A: Look at the tools of public shaming, loss of livelihood, intimidation, name calling, destruction of business, transfer of wealth, immunity from liability, failure to hold hearings, adulteration of science, secrecy, coercion, etc. Wake up please.

Q: What do you want? A libertarian world?
A: I am not a libertarian. It doesn’t work sadly. We need institutions, so they have to be accountable. I am looking for high quality, dissent-friendly institutions that take responsibility and rarely wield exotic power, if ever.

Q: Too abstract. What do you want explicitly?
A: So glad you asked. Deep, painful, bipartisan hearings, minutes of meetings read into the public record, lifting of secrecy around vaccines. More hearings. Retractions. Exonerations, apologies, restitution by government & industry.

Q: Okay, but…
A: I actually wasn’t remotely finished. Whatever.
Q: So you are somehow just for ordinary moderate science driven functional government, and your main issue is to listen to reasoned dissenters rather than destroying them which you consider evil??
A: Yeah. That.

A: Yeah. That.
Q: Do you disagree with your conservative followers on CDC?
A: Yes. Some even claim to think no government, markets, zero taxes, firearms and infinite personal freedom makes for a happy world. I think that is NUTS! They think I’m nuts. But we keep talking. Mostly respectfully.

Q: When should @CDCgov have reversed course?
A: Don’t know. But this is way late, too abrupt, and in need of a massive explanation of why those who got there a bit earlier are tarred as Satan’s spawn, while when CDC says it they are beyond reproach. This is offensive. Evil even.

Q: So you think this is a huge update being passed of as a modest data driven course correction & that it requires a come-to-Jesus moment as to why we destroyed, cheapened & defamed so many reasoned critics and fellow citizens from whom CDC withheld full information?
A: Bingo.
A: Bingo.
Q: Could you say something that will keep people from misunderstanding in the future?
A: There is no right of any institution, nor those that defend their narratives, to destroy the credibility of any reasoned critic it knows to have a valid point against a misleading narrative.
