Have tried the high roads and proper form. There often isn’t very much there.
There is no position. Only impact. Only attention. Only self-respect. There is no position.
Regarding evidence: There is no need for interpretation of the evidence on SARS-CoV-2, on transmission mechanics or the harm it is capable of causing. It’s either based on reading the literature or not.
—To expand on that: Any conclusions of COVID being harmless or like other common illnesses, or inevitable, or unstoppable always–always–require blatantly ignoring concrete and clear results based on verified physics or molecular biology.
Let me ask it like this: —Which beliefs exactly?
I think I’m often ascribed beliefs and desires I do not have. It’s often accompanied by people reaching for “your beliefs” and “your beliefs” some more. I point to precisely what I wrote. SARS-CoV-2 is not a death machine but it is not harmless. It is not like other common respiratory illnesses. Infection is not inevitable and COVID-19 is not unstoppable as the transmission of it is by aerosol and that can be filtered out of the air.
What other beliefs do I hold?
Its nothing personal, but if you're in a uniquely high-risk position its typically on you to take precautions, not every other living being in your country.
“Maybe just don't even go out in public!” is not nice either. It did not at all have to be that way that my unborn and newly born child and his mother— both high-risk-from-COVID—were in extreme social isolation during the pandemic. We weren’t isolated because we isolated ourselves. We were isolated to our surprise and grief because people simply dropped out of contact due to the hostile socially accepted sentiment captured so well by “Maybe just don't even go out in public!”. Not nice. Not nice at all. There was a gross and ugly and blatant societal failure to protect infants. Infants.
I ask again: Who are you fighting? What is the cause?
