This breakdown is one of the signal elite failures of the pandemic, imo. Experts have repeatedly presumed that their technical knowledge of a policy qualifies them to decide on the societal/ethical merits of it. But it doesn’t—they get a vote, not a veto.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1337058821865414656 …

Totally. And also a lot of “SOP mindset,” where the conclusion that something is very logistically challenging, or wouldn’t normally be done in non-pandemic times, automatically precludes it as an option now. (This has been a big hurdle in testing specifically.)

You're all really overstepping here IMO. We already have the tools to buy time. Let's do it carefully and correctly.

You do raise the point that the companies/scientists/agencies/etc are being asked here to put their credibility on the line in service of "societal choice" when it's societal choices that are largely fueling this surge right now
