Minimisers managed to blunt the comparison of Covid and HIV/AIDS by saying’ they’re not the same disease at all!’ The point never was that they were the same disease. The point was about chronic impacts of infection. /1 https://t.co/sT6AS2TlJw

That the outcomes from acute infection are never an indication of chronic, long-term impacts. Use EBV instead, for comparison. Seems relatively harmless, until it causes MS in later life. /2

Public policy is not a RCT. It HAS to use risk management. Anybody who tells you we know the long-term impact of SARS 2 infection, and repeated infection, is lying. /3

From the risk management point of view, we’re living a catastrophe. Because we’re infecting EVERYBODY. On a wish and a prayer. /4

Hoping they’ll all be fine. If they’re not, unlike HIV or any other virus, we’re in deep shit. Because we’re infecting everybody. /5

Imagine taking the same approach to that beloved economic factoid, inflation. We’re crushing people to fight that. Like it’s an existential emergency. This is what happens when you replace societies with economies. /end
