Do you really trust the literature? I was a scientist for a few decades and I find much of biomedical literature to be ... hard to draw conclusions from. My PhD is in Biophysics and I've studied viruses in detail; I don't have the level of confidence you do in your beliefs.



Haha, yes I do.

Let me ask it like this: —Which beliefs exactly?

I think I’m often ascribed beliefs and desires I do not have. It’s often accompanied by people reaching for “your beliefs” and “your beliefs” some more. I point to precisely what I wrote. SARS-CoV-2 is not a death machine but it is not harmless. It is not like other common respiratory illnesses. Infection is not inevitable and COVID-19 is not unstoppable as the transmission of it is by aerosol and that can be filtered out of the air.

What other beliefs do I hold?
