I've never heard of "commonsense.news" before, but it is by Bari Weiss[0] who is trying to create an "anti-cancel culture," "anti-woke" University called the University of Austin[1]. Her Wikipedia on her history kind of speaks for itself, in particular the "2017–2020" section[0].

Why does this matter? Because most of the articles claims are based on "spoke to us" quotes from anonymous staffers which cannot be independently verified. So it falls to the reputation of those publishing and their journalistic integrity/process, and at that point I leave it to you to make up your own mind.

She compared herself to Galileo being threatened with burning at the stake, talk about being a professional victim. Not only is the anonymous sourcing suspect, but she herself thinks vaccines are not as effective as previous infections of Covid-19 and a negative test is better than a vaccine(!) and we know from studies that both are patently untrue, she has ulterior motives in anything to discredit vaccines. I don't know why she claims to be a left leaning centrist, that doesn't survive the slightest scrutiny of her published writing/twitter.

> and a negative test is better than a vaccine

That doesn't sound like something she would say, and I've never encountered her making that claim. I'm pretty sure she got vaccinated and has encouraged other people to do so as well. She does seem skeptical of the ability of the vaccines to prevent infection by newer variants. To some degree, that's probably true right?

I can't address your speculation or prove a negative, I can prove she endorsed or said those things.

It's in the wikipedia article linked by the GP. To help you out -

In September 2021, concerning COVID-19, she tweeted an article by Glenn Greenwald which argued that proof of a negative test is far more meaningful than proof of a vaccine, contradicting experts who argue that testing is insufficient and should be considered temporary to allow more time for vaccine hesitancy issues to be addressed.

Assuming she hasn't deleted her tweet:

She said she was like Galileo here: https://www.ft.com/content/5d840a5c-fa0c-4d08-9574-59f0d3e8c...
