Got that right. Being free from government tyranny driven by faulty science that relys on the wrong test for determining presence of Corona. Right test for finding corona genetic sequences. Wrong test for determining how long those sequences have been in your boogers. Start there. Otherwise, you're credibility is like Fauci's. And we all know how smart he is.
Again never "my testimony". Stop trying to pin a no mask, everything open and no precaution policy on me. I never said that and I'm in fact on record as saying I was OK with the initial flatten the curve lockdown. And while not preferable, it was not totally unreasonable to keep schools closed through the end of the last school year. However, not reopening schools for the new school year in Aug/Sep crossed way past the line for me. It was nothing short of reprehensible.
Open schools to those that wanted to go back. If they didn't have enough teachers to teach in person, have them Zoom into the classroom. If grandma lives at home, keep your kid at home. If you didn't see grandma for 15 months like us, send your kid to school if you are comfortable. Look at "real world" results before restricting activities such as outside sports, playgrounds, and hiking trails, etc. Oh yeah, don't lie to people and expect them to accept that "it was for their own good". Normally I'd call that common sense, but based on what we have seen at all levels of government, this qualifies as creative.
In an infectious disease context, how is it possible to “be held individually accountable for your actions that harm others.”? Can you even define what you mean by that? Or give a workable example of how we could do it?
Accountability? How about you start with the wrong test used to identify CORONA infection.
Simple concept. If grandma or any adult is concerned about getting sick from kids or anyone outside their family, then limit your exposure or do it only fully masked. Masks work right? Or if your concerned about getting it from school children, then don't send your kids to school. If you get sick then you have just been held accountable for your actions and don't play the victim card. Maybe personal responsibility is a better word. Worry about your own behavior, and less the behavior of others. Like I've said many times your behavior, and not the behavior or others, overwhelming impacts whether you get Covid (a car accident probably less so). Your approach is "I don't want to be a victim, so please government control the behavior of others". That's a selfish mentality.
The Professor
No one can answer your “Masks work, right?” question. You are asking for a boolean answer to a non-boolean question. It’s no more meaningful than asking whether a goalie blocks goals- and insisting that the only possible answers are “yes” and “no”.
BINGO!
You're funny, a couple weeks ago I tried to get you to stipulate to the fact that there is no reliable evidence that masks work, as I was willing to stipulate to the fact that there is no reliable evidence that masks don't work. You adamantly refused. I'm glad you've finally come around, but somehow I don't think its sincere and more a convenient change in opinion to rebut the argument at hand.

The Whirling Dervish have stamina.
You still have the wrong answer.
IDK is there reliable evidence of that? Whether masks work or not is a better question for Dad4. I know there is evidence masks reduce the spray of respiratory droplets (bigger no shit). But beyond that i haven't seen anything compelling but I'm open to have my mind changed.
