Problem with that Atlantic piece many are mad about is not that the author represents views of Americans who oppose public health measures or are ignoring COVID—it's that it *does not*. It's a typical finely-tuned *professional* performance of "I'm real America". Uninformative.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1470820825586614273 …

Here's the clearest tell. The author skips over the topic of vaccination. You can bet he's vaccinated. That deliberate silence is like how like Tucker Carlson demures on the topic—not because he's shy. It's almost solely the foot-soldiers of the anti-vaccine movement who die.

Compared to its leaders, yeah. The big profile names are almost all vaccinated, for sure. In contrast, lots of small-time anti-vaccine radio hosts, for example, have died because they actually were not.
