If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be Vinay Prasad. Regardless of where he works he's still compared mask and vaccine mandates to the Third Reich. Most public health officials have a much lower tolerance for death or lasting injury than Prasad does. Even amongst laypeople Prasad's tolerance for someone elsedying is much higher than that of those other people.

A pattern of gross incompetence is the kind of thing you'd typically only level at people trying to Godwin their way out of scientific discourse.

This is pure ad hominem.

Are his claims false? Is his reasoning unsound?

[inferiorhuman]

> Are his claims false?

Yes

[ckw]

So engage with those. How are those reading this thread edified by you simply claiming they are false, but presenting no evidence?

[inferiorhuman]

By virtue of the fact that neither myself nor that guy live in Nazi Germany is prima facie evidence that he's not worth taking seriously. If you shit your pants and then proceed to smear it all over yourself and then the ceiling while humming the Bonanza theme song don't be surprised when people don't engage you.

If you want an earnest discussion find someone making an earnest argument.

[ckw]

You make no arguments. You adduce no facts. You repeatedly commit logical fallacies. On the other hand, I find Prasad's claims of fact true and arguments persuasive. This is a pretty easy call.

[inferiorhuman]

There seems to be some confusion. There is no earnest discussion to be had. I'm not addressing the content of his arguments because there is no content.

If you think that there's a persuasive comparison to be made between exterminating millions of people on the basis of their religion and vaccines, that's great. You've just plainly articulated why I'm not bothering to engage you either.
