Atticus Finch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 15 hours ago, badrouter said: Having never done it before, we don’t know what the harms- psychological or otherwise- may be. We also don't know what the long-term harms of COVID-19 are. Sounds like we've got a dilemma. I guess we should not do anything about either one until the science is completely settled on all of it!

Atticus Finch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 15 hours ago, badrouter said: We used to understand that we shouldn’t make brand new rules, which are not backed by evidentiary support and the harms of which are not understood. But you're just making this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Finch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 15 hours ago, badrouter said: Where is the robust conversation around whether our approach or Europe’s approach is best? It's only been in the public zeitgeist since the very beginning of the pandemic. Various parties have cherry-picked European examples as evidence that their wishes should be followed. Of course, most of those examples went to shit not that long after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Finch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 16 hours ago, badrouter said: Being able to see emotions and reactions- smiles, frowns, looks of astonishment, etc- are crucial for al humans. For children, masks can retard speech and language development. They can also impede development of personal connections and relationships. Jesus Christ, badrouter. Stop being a dipshit. It's a global pandemic. We can't place smiles and frowns above addressing a public health crisis. Your kind of argumentation could literally be used to thwart any actions taken on any issue, ever.

Atticus Finch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 15 hours ago, badrouter said: I’m speaking out against the idea of there being this one Narrative that is the only acceptable Narrative, where any skepticism or dissent is framed as “conspiracy theory” or “dangerous misinformation”. So, you can point to a whole wide variety of names, but they all are sticking with one narrative. And that narrative is quite frequently NOT rooted in science or data. badrouter has managed to strawman and tinfoil hat in the same paragraph.
