Reminder that our Evidence-Based Science Response to Corona - involving denials of freedom & routine not seen since WWII - emerges from social media propaganda orchesrated by China & boosted by empty-headed Bay Area thinkfluencers like the narratologist Tomas Pueyo ...

... Epidemiologists, virologists and public health experts, who before this propaganda onslaught advocated a balanced, minimalist mitigation response to the pandemic, were among the first to fall to the preference cascade. ...

... Now all of them advocate indefinite lockdowns, forever masks, and constant testing, on the basis of nothing but press hysteria and whatever the neighbouring countries are doing. This is your Science, this is your Evidence Based Policy. ...

... Because in fact none of this is based on any evidence of all, the mounting evidence that none of these measures do anything goes totally ignored. What is more, mild satirical critics of these apocalyptically insane unsupportable policies are denounced as traitors ...

... And, because the containment policies have no real effect & can never reduce the incidence of infection, they can never be lifted. The only option, the only path forward, is to do whatever we are already doing, but harder and longer.
