Among those who will neither forgive – nor hold Democrats in unforgiveness – are the more-than one million Americans who died of Covid. Imagine the electoral ramifications, and the widespread acceptance of mitigating measures, had those Americans been the victim of terrorism?

A pretty solid swath of evidence has shown NPIs had practically no effect on ultimate infections/death counts. We need to honestly confront data that challenges entrenched narratives if we want to progress both on a policy and corresponding political front.

NPI (New Product Introduction)... Or is this an abbreviation for what you mean? Not sure what you mean. Are you saying that Covid vaccines had no effect on infections/death rates?

No NPI=non-pharmaceutical intervention. So school and park closures, mask requirements etc. Made sense very early on; by Fall 2020 it was clear at the minimum schools should have been open for in-person learning.
