Re: Emily Oster says 'Let's forgive and forget'

>Except, they weren't “in the dark” about Covid. There were numerous sources pointing out the actual science that ran contrary to the mandate claims, and they were deliberately silenced by a vast media campaign.

OK but, does he hear himself? They *were deliberately silenced*. So *many people didn't hear them*!

For goodness' sake. I read here about Emily Oster getting ratio'd on Twitter, meanwhile my dad is hell-bent on getting the booster because his doctor told him to. Even today there are still many people for whom the silencing succeded at keeping information from them. Which, I mean, that was its goal so...is it really so surprising that not everyone managed to find the spots on the internet that were routing around the censorship?

The most I could say to my dad--that is, sources he'd accept, that haven't been defenestrated--was (a) 8 mice, Dr. Paul Offit and (b) other countries don't recommend it for under-50. But he's over 50 so...

IDK I think the quoted writer wants there to be fewer people who were genuinely fooled than there actually are. Actually the defenestrations worked and many people, people who would've easily seen the fraud if they'd looked...didn't even look. They just "trusted the experts" (or fraudulent abstracts, see also "you have to pay $50+ to look at the whole study") instead.
