Yup. Welcome back Immunity Passports - I didn't miss you (and, of course, they totally disregard re-infections, but that's a minor detail).

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

It's so fucked - a Nature journalist I talked to last month also just pinged me about it. These people are simply insane- I don't know what other way to put it.

Close enough for me. They've miscalled it every time...why do people believe a single word they say?

I honestly don't know... I mean, these guys said we were basically all immune already, yet....

"Nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity". Fuck me.

"Older people should have their groceries delivered". I think that's the extent of their science.

Hah, yeah - free delivery for old people! Problem solved.

I especially love the alternative to their declaration "lockdown [...] measures in place until a vaccine is available". Point me to a single credible scientist who suggested that... It's not either we sit on our couch and wait for a vaccine,or we all go out and get infected (while "protecting the vulnerable" - which, of course, also doesn't work).

It's just idiotic. It's not a declaration - it's a clown's charter.
