I advocated lockdowns combined with strong social safety net protections and a thorough testing regime and the person still said "yeah but the other effects." When I pressed as to what effects, they said "well children won't be able to socialize." Like yeah.... that's bad, but you know what else can effect a child's mental health: mommy/daddy/granpa/grandma/etc dying from a totally preventable pathogen.... Jesus and this person is in "academia" doing anthro and shit....

    anthro is to sociology etc

    The sudden concern for mental health is the same sudden concern for Muslim people despite all the evidence to the contrary. They dont care, it's just a convenient copout they've had in the back pocket.

      So this person is actually from the global south smh... They pointed to Afghanistan as showing that "there are other factors." Like bro yeah a pretty weak state that can't enforce public health... yeah I'm sure that doesn't affect anything....
