>Is he just saying that that all precautions for respiratory viruses like masks, vaccines and distancing are useless and should be stopped? Is he suggesting that we stop using the flu vaccine as well?
Prefer steelmanning this. We know cloth masks are not effective, yet we force them rather than alternatives. We never mandated flu vaccines (is/ought problem?), and why would he suggest stopping the flu vaccine? This seems like a needless dig. Distancing is basically theatre this point with the prevalence of Omnicron.
>The vaccine is far safer than covid, so giving the vaccine to millions is much safer than giving covid to millions.
Not for certain age groups. Even if they're equivalent, mandates should not be a thing when the risk between the virus and the vax is so close.
> I have no idea where he's getting this from. The vaccinated still spread COVID at a high rate, especially with the prevalence of Omnicron.
>Is this a repeat of the "everyone over 60 should just die" line that went around the US in 2020?
I agree some may have said this, but realistically there was a 90%+ survival rate (IFR) pre vaccine for 60+. (Figures not exact)
