The best line is the bottom line: “So it doesn’t matter that most of the country has moved on from COVID, the politics ensure a shrinking but increasingly desperate group of intellectuals will deploy a “science” smokescreen to rationalize increasingly nonsensical policies.” With midterms coming up the party in power will pull out all the steps they can and the media will support them. There is no science, only cheerleaders like Dr Jha.
All societies have disparities -- the hand wringing over disparities as reflective of some intrinsic issue is more the problem than the disparities themselves. There are of course a number of sources that document health outcomes between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs? Do you disagree with that contention? I’m happy to be educated on the matter.
Oh not at all! I agree and love your Substack .. what I was trying to suggest was the use of better studies than the one you cited. You’re point about disparities are well taken but the causes and distribution in Israel are slightly different in the case of COVID-19. Keep up the great work !
