Sigh. I googled Feigl-Ding and I learned he is not a source to be trusted. I'm not going to share any more tweets by him. I had no idea how questionable he is...
Feigl-Ding has disclosed he is not sub-specialized in infectious diseases and claims to have never misrepresented himself as an infectious disease epidemiologist. [...] His tweets during the [covid] pandemic have also at times been criticized by other scientists as alarmist, misleading, or inaccurate.
Also - for what it's worth - he's a democratic politician. I wonder if his tweets are designed more for his "brand" than anything else.
Where I live, the liberal-led government started saying that masks don't do anything once they got rid of the mandate (although, of course, they said you are free to keep wearing them, which obviously almost no one now does :sadness: ). It felt so disorienting for that to go from a fringe rightwing conspiracy position to the government's position without the least acknowledgement. Just overnight, welcome to the new 'truth'
Legit feels like doublespeak more often than not with the only desire is for individuals to maintain cohesion to the party-line or ideology outside of any connection to reality.
