@amindlesswasted Your article advances a lay-person's understanding & critical thinking processes in approaching these questions. I also consider the aspect of how to share uncertainty with the public, in the moment, when assessing a new virus. That swirls about this. Messaging had to be simple.
@Caeser30609049@amindlesswasted It does likely matter, if for no other reason to better understand and prepare for the next one. Moreover, for lots of people i know, the pandemic still has impact--deaths; long COVID; changed habits; increased apprehension. I get that folks want to move on, not everyone can.
@amindlesswasted The MAGA Senate show trial was not a legitimate inquiry into anything, so added nothing to a real understanding of this question. Rather seems calculated to create fear & revive trauma. Meanwhile the dismantling of good research/dismissal of genuinely good researchers is nonstop
@amindlesswasted Wow! What great, nuanced analysis on the 'oranges' of the COVID-19 virus. Left me wondering if, had the Trump admin worked more closely w/China, rather than pulling out of initiatives at research labs & villifying Chinese people, would we know more?
@Mollyploofkins You'd think she might at least put on the act of an ashen face & comment of how they're hoping for an update, praying for Mitch, yada yada...but can't even do that! She doesn't look like someone actually working for KY constituents in the meantime. ๐คฌ
@atrupar Feels like he only said this now, after being raked on this app for his F-bomb statement at the Fauci show trials. ๐ To hell with him and Miller!
