Your problem is that you're writing as if you were a medically trained person, and it is very obvious that you are not. So please, spare us the we know vs the public is dumb , because from my perspective you're a glorified ignoramus. You do not even understand the basics of science, let alone the minutiae of infectious disease/public health. You should stop your nonsense.. I assume you're already older. so don't waste your remaining few years in fields that are way above your head.
Great article, thanks! It reminds me of a podcast episode I listened to today on the New Yorker podcast with RFK as the guest. He bragged about how much he knows about science as a trial lawyer. I think a lot of the public misconception and apparently legal misconception is that statements in science are usually made based on the best available evidence at the time, and going back in hindsight, with new evidence to say someone was lying or as RFK has accused Fauci specifically of worse… is just not ok.
I don’t think it’s possible for us to completely escape the human brain’s discomfort with uncertainty and need for black and white answers. But Understanding the tension can help to dispel reactionary anger perhaps! Sorry if this is rambling, I’m dictating as i grill, thanks again for the article

Didn't realize you were publishing! (your previous pieces must have got lost in the sea of notifications I get from Substack).
