COVID-19: Reductio Ad Absurdum — Or, Reductio Ad Hinderaker — But I Repeat Myself.

This truly merits scant mention — and no analysis.

A man who declared, without any evidence, on July 19, 2020 — that the dying in the USA “was mostly over” [about 150,000 were dead then]… and the US death total sits around 212,000 tonight…

…IS SOMEONE NO ONE SHOULD TAKE SERIOUSLY. EVER AGAIN.

That was… Hinderaker. And… a lie he’s never apologized for, by the way.

Tonight, John complains about some California mask-wearing rules in restaurants. They do seem a little excessive (put the mask back up between bites, in essence) — but if the alternative is to close indoor restaurants, altogether… John ought to… hush, if in fact he wants to be pro-restaurant commerce.

Seriously, John. Just shut up.

We are on track for perhaps a quarter of a million deaths by Christmas.

And the notion that we should NOT close indoor, sit-down, dine-in service at restaurants… is becoming less defensible, given the continued acceleration of spread/positives — and deaths — nation-wide.

He should read what his fellow blogger, Paul M. wrote, this afternoon. With some significant under-estimation errors, Paul is right: John’s and Trump’s NON-policies… are causing excessive deaths.

Full stop.

Hinderaker: God’s own fool/moron, on all matters of pandemic mitigation / life-science.
