These fancy scientists suggest that the elderly & vulnerable are safe or their safety is around the corner. Well, no. There is no plan to keep grandma safe. Grandpa either. Or your sister w diabetes. Your son w cancer. No plan. Just beautiful theory is what they're selling. 11./

But I'm young and fit, why do I have to worry? Well, in probabilistic terms, you're far less likely to die from COVID than grandma. But you're not immune, particularly if you're juggling some health issues of your own right now. 12/

But we can reach herd immunity if the young submit to infection now and it will all be better. Yikes. You have to break some eggs to make an omelette. Who said that? 13/

Achieve herd immunity without a vaccine is a recipe for carnage. Dr. Gupta prognosticated that UK was on the verge of herd immunity this spring, in fact, she was wrong & exposure to the virus is far from that threshold. But she keeps at it. Dangling its promise like a prize. 14/

Yes, this whole pandemic is horrific. The deaths from #COVID19, the long term disability many will face is terrible. AND yes, SO is the rest of it: kids out of school, businesses in ruins, my mental health & yours in tatters. But we deal with it. We rise up, fight for it all. 17/

I'm in my mid-50s. I have HIV. I saw my friends die in droves in the 80s, 90s. I have no more fucks left to give. Except those peddling pseudoscience, bankrolled by right-wing, libertarian assholes can kiss my queer ass. I know your kind. We beat you once. Will will again. end/

And yet here we are, over a year later, and virtually every precept articulated in the GBD has been vindicated by the evidence. Of course, science is irrelevant to #CultusCovid.

One thing should now be perfectly clear: there is no deliverance from this madness to be found in empiricism; no appeal to reason. #TheScience™ is not amenable to science. It is a coup d'etat by the ruthless high priesthood of an obedience cult, and the struggle is existential.

And yet the facts of reality keep contradicting much of your diatribe. But your collectivist mindset holds you to Kantian formalism and the use of physical force to control populations.
