It's good to see @zeynep call out the flaws in mainstream Covid coverage (and there were/are many). But framing it as the result of "partisan polarization" & equating it in any way with the dangerous delusion & disinformation from the right goes too far.https://zeynep.substack.com/p/how-polarization-ate-our-brains …

(I remain a big fan, but...) Your headline and your main theme enthusiastically assert that both sides have eaten their own brains. I don't think the caveat at the end gets you off the hook. There really is almost no comparison, but you made it.

Thank you! I feel like I'm examining one piece of a puzzle in a newsletter, and make that clear at top and the bottom. On the almost "no comparison": on some things (like muzzling the CDC) I agree. On other things like closing parks? What's the measure? Level of harm? Dynamics?

This short caveat at the very end does negate the headline or the primary thesis. Both sideserism has destroyed our national discourse. You just contributed to it. You’ve always been better than this, until now.

Ironically, you missed out the "not".
