At least some part of this is due to plain old professional class solidarity: they seem to think that the courtesy due someone in your own field is more important than the dangers of the ideas and policies they push. These people should be shunned from academia, but I dont think it will happen.
So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.
I think the *speed* at which RFK Jr and his Great Barrington Declaration/anti-vaxx/Brownstone wrecking crew have been dismantling the US public health system has been really astonishing

Not only is capitalism isolating and debilitating us it produces ‘care’ which only mocks and minimizes us when we express distress and suffering or seek comfort and/or help for said suffering.

I believe @sndesireecha.bsky.social is spot-on in her critique of the covid-cautious community here. A huge percentage of these people (many of whom are white, and all of whom I presume are housed) are really only interested in masking etc. as a way to protect themselves and their nuclear families.

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.
