> I had recovered from it in about January 2020, so it was not one bit uncertain to me.
We learned a lot of lessons in the 18 months after Feb 2020, including about long COVID and who was impacted. Were any of your conclusions reshaped in the face of later broad, consistent medical evidence?
If you were to consider your process of understanding COVID, was there ever a point where it could be fairly described as working backward from a conclusion?
I'm going to parse this and offer some personal impressions.
"One thing" (variant = "All I know") signals to me that my question - are you working backward from a conclusion - can't be considered at this time. It's a reasonable response and I hope you will consider my Q at a later time.
In considering your whole response, I get a vibe that you were justified or maybe vindicated. In my experience, those are markers of clinging to a conclusion and waiting for evidence of it. If I'm off base, help me out here.
I also think you're being forthright with me and not subversive.
Getting to “not one bit uncertain” from what you could possibly have known then shows poor reasoning skills.
