Democrats are politicizing science.
They were staunch supporters of the lockdowns because of asymptomatic spread.
Now asmptomatic spread is acceptable now that vaccinated people are asymptomatic spreaders of the virus.
Democrats are contradicting themselves to avoid restrictions on themselves.

@eintaluj saidAnd your still being an idiot. Hi my names Kev and you are not the first wolf in Sheep’s clothing that has tried to push right wing viewpoints under the guise of a centrist.
You are talking nonsense. Some of those, who call themselves "antiracists", are racists indeed. Saying that makes me neither a right-wing nor a racist.
However, the issue of "anti-whiteness" some people are discussing here, does not really belong to the present discussion. This issue is only loosely related to my initial post and the articles linked in it.
Note also ...[text shortened]... not address my arguments and you do not present your arguments - you are just ascribing the labels.
I’ve already stated that universities should not be safe places intellectually speaking and any topic should be open for discussion.
The argument that people from long oppressed minorities and economically disadvantaged students shouldn’t have the playing field levelled in their favour is a right wing opinion wether you like it or not

A professor of climate science who opposed diversity initiatives cries foul over a cancelled lecture.
Dorian S. Abbot, an associate professor of geophysics at the University of Chicago, is speaking out against the cancellation of a lecture he was recently scheduled to give at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He says he’s being punished for his views on higher ed ...[text shortened]... of Abbot’s views on equal treatment, his lecture on the other area — on geophysics — was cancelled.
I am not going to answer kevcsv... comments because of their very bad style.
It turns out that Hed Rot Pawn allows reporting on some users (one's comments) only if the person doing this is a subscriber. Thus, it turns out, that on Hed Rot Pawn anyone can freely slander non-subscribers as "racists" and whatsoever.
Consequently, it does not make any sense at all to participate in Hed Rot Pawn forums as some users are behaving awfully.
