The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.
This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

As a result of carelessness and recklessness during the Christmas season, millions of people will suffer the life-threatening harm that results from every infection of Covid-19.

This year, as has happened every year since 2020, travel and gatherings during the Christmas season will result in countless infections of Covid-19. Those infections will, in turn, result in countless instances of serious illness and early mortality.

Yup, that's me, in my trusty Flo Mask. I wear it in any situation of potential SARS-COV-2 infection. When I think about how much needless suffering has been inflicted by people's refusal to engage in the simple act of wearing a mask...it makes me all the more determined to not be anything like that.

Might want to check if those who came up with that list haven't been in cryosleep for a half a decade.

I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. I want disabled people to be protected from the US medical and legal system that wants them to die. As someone living with stage 4, I would like the option of not having a long drawn out death.

The question should never be, "Why are you wearing a mask?"
The question needs to be, "Why are YOU not wearing one?"
The burden of justifying one's actions should rest with the one committing the aggression.
