Show me where I argued that their “accuracy improved”. Like I said in the previous post, I’m only noting that they were correct in this instance. I’m certainly not making arguments that Trump’s administration is doing a good job.
Trying to thread needles like this is disingenuous, at best, and makes you look like an apologist, at worst.
You have a set of political leaders actively hunting for a hook that is sufficiently platable and plausible that they can get people to swallow in order to be exploited for their own power gain. Giving cover to that deserves neither praise nor quarter.
There are plausible solutions that have scientific backing. There are also plausible economic solutions. There are also degrees to those solutions--Switzerland shows this even though it is now matching the US in per capita Covid cases.
NONE of those solutions that would benefit the people have been proposed at the federal level here in the US.
