        "letter drew.. distinction between [MAGA COVIDiot and BLM COVIDiot] protests..'Infectious disease and public health narratives adjacent to demonstrations..must be..anti-racist, and infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message.'"

        "letter’s most telling passage: ''To..extent possible, we support..public health.. best practices during demonstrations that call attention to..white supremacy. However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission'"

        The COVID-019 crisis has revealed the rot at the core of the "public health community" and the emptiness of "public health" as a discipline. The "public health community" prioritizes politics over science, ideology over facts, and virtual signalling over all.

        I don't understand the position. Why can't they just say they do present a risk, and the debate is over whether trying to get an out of control government back in line is worth the loss of life? Clearly there is a trade off.

        Because actually they're trying to discredit and silence the nuanced approach you're identifying.

        “To help would-be protesters reach an informed judgment, public-health experts and journalists should strive to provide a neutral accounting of the risks involved. The blunt truth is that those risks include at least some chance of death and disease on a terrifying scale.”/1

        “Protesters objecting to police killings deserve warnings as blunt as what protesters objecting to shutdowns got, not politeness that leaves them less prepared to stay safe.”/2
