I saw my post in the comments later in the afternoon. Checking to see if there were replies, this morning, it was gone.
I’m guessing your comment was ok’d by whoever was moderating at the time, then deleted by Yves when she read it. Yves injected the Kool-Aid, and only tolerates vax criticisms from her pet regulars, including IM Doc. She also thinks masks work and there was no lab leak, so discussions of those topics are similarly censored. Worse, she allows her pets to make ad hominem attacks on critics, against the longstanding site rules.
After 15 years of reading Naked Capitalism almost every morning, I quit in disgust about 8 months ago. Now I only stop in to read the IM Doc posts, and while I’m at it see what Amfortas, Wukchumni, and Arizona Slim have to say (Howdy, Slim!).
From what I can tell, Yves and some of my seemingly intelligent friends who lost their boosted minds since March 2020 made poor choices in their “trusted experts”. It’s fashionable to think that the world is too complex to understand outside ones own area of expertise, so one should defer to what the experts in other subjects say. Having seen how often experts are wrong, I try to do a deep dive into a subject and gather information from a variety of sources so that I have enough understanding to evaluate the evidence on my own. And I reevaluate my decisions as new information comes to light. I suppose not everyone has the time or brainpower to bone up on a subject like immunology, but to me it seemed important. And I’m glad I did!
