This isn't about the later stuff. My statement was that being against lockdowns is an anti-social viewpoint and that you were rightly attacked for being against them. Nothing you've written challenges that. In a spherical vacuum of a society with no left right blue or China, no Epstein files, a pathogen has been introduced to your society. You don't know anything about it at all. It could be Ebola, it could be a total nothing buger. What do you do in response? Do you stay open and infect your populace, or do you lock down? It's a huge disruption, to everything and everyone. In the face of the unknown, what do you chose to do?

In the face of not knowing something, do we try and be safe, or do we say YOLO and fuck everyone who's role puts them in harms way?

Except that’s just not true. You’re just inventing scenarios to scare yourself and others. Covid is a respiratory coronavirus, they are extremely thoroughly studied and well understood. We didn’t “know nothing” about it. That’s just a total fabrication that you invented because you’ve been thoroughly trounced in this debate.

> What do you do in response?

For the last time, TARGETED PROTECTION OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

> Do you stay open and infect your populace, or do you lock down?

False dichotomy, see above paragraph where I once again spoonfeed you basic common sense.

Locking down is the extreme position, and should require an extreme amount of evidence advocating for it.

Don’t bother responding. You’ve made zero interesting points, and rely solely on sensational rhetoric, accusations, false dichotomy, straw men, and ad hominem. There isn’t an ounce of logic or maturity in any of your comments. Thus, I’ve grown bored of walloping you.
