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.

One could uncharitably rephrase your argument as "this woman is a witch and any article on this witch's site is heretical".

There are a lot of valid scientific reasons to criticize the CDC's approach to the COVID pandemic, including their own publications[1]. One could also point to the different paths taken by other OECD nations with respect to children and see that the CDC diverged sharply, but presented no data to justify those policies.

But such intellectual dishonesty is discouraged on HN, so one shouldn't.

I think my actual argument is clear. People who didn’t read the article are criticizing it because it appears on her sub stack. Based on their criticism of her, they have never actually read her writing but are engaged in a moral panic about wrong think.

For example people in the thread are calling her an anti-vaxer even though she’s on the record encouraging people to get vaccinated.
