Yes, sound/reasonable comments by you, though to be clear, I imposed no
litmus test on Mate. I value his content, regardless.
But
one needn't be a fucking expert on covid -- whatever that may mean, particularly since most claimed "expertise" was farcical in any event, given the output of so-called "experts" from 2020 - 2022 --
to call out the egregious affronts to fundamental human rights and violation of any semblance of ethics by govts, employers, bureaucrats, most if not all major institutions, agencies, etc.
It was a time when ANYONE with a voice,
should have voiced opposition, minimally. I don't believe this to have been a tall order or ask.
And again, I indicate only that I was disappointed that he didn't, and that's a testament to my view on the quality of his overall work. I continued to respect and follow his work in other areas, regardless. I didn't "boycott" him in any way.
While grifters abounded during the height of covid hystera -- across both/all sides -- it made it no less critical to have voiced opposition to blatant crimes against humanity that occurred. I would have expected Mate to have voiced something along these lines, since it would seem consistent with his driving interests in the other areas he covers.
Do you disagree?
