This is condescending and wrong, Matt. Zeynep is not the intellectual midwife to awkward real experts who had trouble expressing their feelings, but someone who pushed hard against a near-universal consensus at great professional risk. Her name is on the research papers.

I think Zeynep is amazing but I think it’s a bad idea to tar the whole medical community with “there was near-universal consensus”. I think many doctors disagreed with the public-health authorities but didn’t have a way to say it.

I should specify that I’m referring to the public health authorities in the United States and our public intellectuals, not the medical system writ large, let alone the many people in East Asia who looked at this policy with incredulity

The defining aspect of these absurd 'wonkish' pundits is an inability to admit to mistakes even when it is transparent to everyone else. Zeynep demonstrated their incompetence in applying rigorous due diligence when confronted with conflicting information & now Matt makes excuses

If staff at Matt's rag was incapable of doing the hard work involved in this type of journalism they should have avoided publishing on such complex and controversial subjects. But, like many others they can't stay in their lane because of a constant desire to stay relevant.
