In response to "Remember my concern that the pandemic is making our side veer into Dismissal of science and ignorance to advance a political message? Yeah... -- (link)" by JackDawson

I'm not sure that's the conclusion I get after reading the article.

That line about de Blasio is concerning but it doesn't make me think the left is veering into a dismissal of science to advance their message.

They’re recounting epidemiologists having different reactions depending on the type of protest - JackDawson Jul 6, 06:01 2

They talk about how people are concerned about both the protests spreading the virus but also the need for the protests. But I didn't get that there - Marquis de Krusty Jul 6, 05:57 4
- I generally agree with this. And then there is the actual results that show that the protests haven't led to a spike. - pmb Jul 6, 06:16 3
  - Right this makes sense — by the same token there seems to be no proof of spikes from the people who protested shutdowns either...the very thing - JackDawson Jul 6, 07:00 2
    - I don't know that those were studied though (and they were dramatically smaller in scale). So I don't think you're comparing apples to apples. -- nm - pmb Jul 6, 07:20 1
      - I'm not the one claiming that one set of gatherings will result in one result and another in another -- nm - JackDawson Jul 6, 08:25
