Most people opposing lockdowns are not "pandemic deniers".
We are "COVID monomania" deniers.
This is not the first time a pandemic is happening. This is the first time we are responding like this.
Everything we do are knee-jerk reactions. Nothing is based in science. (1/x)

We mandate masks almost as a talisman, without considering the possibility that they may increase aerosol transmission or give people a false sense of safety.

We obsessively disinfect everything, despite zero evidence that fomite transmission should be a concern.

We are not arguing that we do nothing.
All we are saying is we should compare the benefits to harms before we move and actually listen to science.
Virus sucks, yes. Let's try not to make it suck even more. (6/6) https://twitter.com/bergerbell/status/1345956265797664774?s=20
