“The Rockefeller University releases statement concerning Knut Wittkowski
April 13, 2020

“The opinions that have been expressed by Knut Wittkowski, discouraging social distancing in order to hasten the development of herd immunity to the novel coronavirus, do not represent the views of The Rockefeller University, its leadership, or its faculty.

Wittkowski was previously employed by Rockefeller as a biostatistician. He has never held the title of professor at Rockefeller.”

Herds of pig-ignorant nutjobs have become convinced by years of exposure to right-wing media (and each other) that experts in medicine, epidemiology, climate science, you name it, are all part of a vast conspiracy of lies, and that only pig-ignorant nutjobbery possesses The Truth(TM).

It took decades to get here, to this sub-QAnon level of stupidity, and it’d take decades to get back to having a more-or-less educated populace with just a few nutters, even if we started now. And there’s no sign of us starting any time soon, but every sign of it getting worse.

No..we are being lied to about the figures, CDC just admitted it. Italy admitted it,etc

“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”

Tim Rome Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Pauline Finch bullshit

Tim Rome bullshit

but that’s childishly wrong.
quarantine has required uninfected people to limit their exposure since we found out that germs take time to make people sick.

your position here is literally “I don’t know or care how quarantine works and I don’t care how many people die until it effects me personally”, which it inevitably will and then you’ll have the choice to learn empathy or nothing.
