Do your own work you lazy arse. Literally on this thread.
I can't see anywhere that my posts have been refuted. Someone thought they had (with an Allyson Pollock article, no less. She says that asymptomatic testing is of marginal benefit - if someone's takeaway from her BMJ article was that she thinks asymptomatic spread is a real danger, they need to learn to read better...).
Because it’s bollocks-all to do with the discussion and only an idiot would consider it relevant or somehow a killer question.
It has everything to do with the discussion.
My point is that parents can and, do harm their kids, because they believe something is best, without questioning it. Breast is best - ok. But are the benefits worth the immense distress of a baby not getting enough breast milk? You have to know by how much it's better to be able to make that call.
Likewise with masks and distancing. How well do masks work compared to the negatives? You have to know both to be able to make the call.
If you're someone who prefers the baby going hungry to giving formula early, tell me why. Perhaps I'm wrong and am missing something.
If you think that masks are worth the speech and language and other problems, tell me why, with evidence. Perhaps, again, I'm wrong!
Does the fact that this thread is truing to discredit the people on Us For Them, rather than what they are saying, not suggest that this is about tribes and conformity, not evidence?
This is amazing. Why would you expect parents to have heard of a batshit organisation campaigning to lower safety standards in schools? Most would rightly roll their eyes and shove them in the same category as those burning 5G masts.
I actually don't expect parents to do much reading. That's the problem.
