In 2023, a school of public health offers a seminar on making spaces safe from infectious pathogens during a surge of infections and no one masks.
@trendless You know what? Today is my weekly gripe that Public Health, the discipline that should have saved us here, completely rolled over. Betrayed all of their core principles. They were supposed to be the hippies who would still speak up when the bosses did things wrong.
There was no walkout at the CDC. No walkout at WHO. No groups of Nalgene carrying mosquito net wielding good people who actually spoke up. What the fuck was the point of the discipline if it would do exactly the opposite of its goals?
And now that fucker Ashish Jha is running a school of public health again, and I see no calls for him to be fired? Even by the students? Why are they not walking out?
Have you considered the possibility that the people who work at the CDC are those kind of people, but that the best scientific evidence suggests that at this point in the progress of the COVID-19 epidemic that there is not a reasonable social benefit to the 5-day quarantine? Could it be that Public Health is acting completely rationally and that you are perhaps the one over reacting?
@antares @trendless couple that with the fact that everyone clearly knows the CDC is doing this in bad faith as well. Some people admit this to themselves.
@antares @migriverat @trendless Yes, this has been considered, and rejected. The shorter 5-day quarantine itself, for example, came from Delta Airlines (et alia) wanting quicker money, not from scientific evidence or concern for society.
@antares @trendless I think the fact that you have cited Monica Gandhi in the past clearly demonstrates your bad faith here.
