Please don’t make out like my comment is some black and white anti lockdown comment. It’s not. It’s not saying let’s not lockdown. It’s saying there are serious consequences on the other end. That many people who still have their livelihoods and happiness dismiss as “misinformation”

Have you read the link? This is not about dismissing the genuine plight of people affected by the lockdown. This is about actual, literal, disinformation being spread.

We need to weigh the consequences of restrictions against the consequences of not having those restrictions, and this kind of disinformation is simply trying to tip the scales by diluting the factual basis on which we all make that assessment with lies.
