Hopefully, we will return to a scientific, evidence based and „cool“ i.e. unheated debate in medicine in the near future, where the pros and cons of interventions are critically weighed and self-critical decisions are made with possibilities to auto-correct if proven wrong. A covidian-friend and colleague of mine replied to my sharing of Prof Prasad‘s review of the masking data: he said „Adolf Hitler!“ (so much for a scientific debate🙄)

To defend my friend: he quoted from a Wikipedia article, in which Prasad was quoted comparing the Covid-measures to Hitler‘s early Third Reich. Maybe this was a little exaggerated (and possibly due to his anger), but the lack of scientific debate and even suppression thereof, the embracing of censorship in the liberal left nowadays does make me feel uneasy in their love of authoritarianism.

Actually, Prasad is not the only one to observe this. I was listening to a talk by Dr. Scott Atlas and Dr. Aaron Kheriarty - both of whom were censored on social media at times for .... asking questions. One of them said "You know who else censors questions? Fascist regimes."

Remember when the American left was anti-establishment?

Now everyone's authoritarian except the people under the boot.

Actually, I take this back.

What's different now is that the people under the boot have all become pick-me's that think the fed will stomp harder on their enemies if they lick hard enough while they're down there.

To be fair, Hitler is regularly credited with murdering 6 million Jews. C19, likely a man made virus, killed 5-10 million people globally. Sure, there’s a lot of caveats, but there’s also a lot of common ground.

I try to avoid comparisons (as a German ;) mostly because they aren’t all too helpful in the discussion-here, everybody who wasn’t on the covidian side was labelled a nazi...
