@isomorphismes there is a lot of establishment orthodoxy (most obviously in economics) that I’m glad to dispute in ways one might describe as anti-elitist. but with the exception of their prematurely closing ranks on COVID origin, I’ve not encountered anything persuasive (to me) that the consensus on vaccine safety and effectiveness is anything but correct, and have encountered lots of anti-vaxx stuff that’s obviously wrong and harmful.(ivermectin isn’t a COVID treatment. they really did check.)
