The tweet has already been sufficiently dunked on, but it's just too mind-numbingly dumb I can't ignore it. What happens to a person's brain to make them forget the AIDS crisis, or the story of Typhoid Mary, or idk, most diseases?
In a vacuum, yes you cannot blame your relatives or a friend or a coworker for doing what is basically an act of nature (getting an immune response to a disease and shedding viral/bacterial load).
But we don't live in a vacuum and we have developed public health procedures and we live in large communities with people we don't truly know. So when a pandemic occurs and people decide to behave recklessly because they only think about themselves, you have every right to be upset.
Just seems a bit dumb to blame people who don't understand germ theory for failing to adopt behaviors of those who do.
But then Harvard Medical School Guy doesn't seem capable of grasping germ theory right now, so maybe he just needs a better education or something.
Well, he is also ahistorical because undesirables have been blamed for anything from infertility to plagues, bad crops, nasty weather, etc. Even when people knew about germ theory or not.
It's just that now undesireables are nasty, predominantly white, people trying to get others killed.
