This is a class war: Trish Wood on the Covid response, the media, and disdain for the working class
Yeah, I was against all this from the beginning in large part due to what happened to you Meghan and other people like Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying. My immediate reaction to ideas of "following the science" was... I'm sorry, since when have you followed science? They haven't been doing it for like 5+ years. I knew they would be screwing it up and yet many people told me "It's just two weeks, shut up and enjoy it." But having learned from people like you as well as many other historians, I knew a push back would happen eventually. Thankfully, now it is.
