I loved Emily Oster when she courageously put out data showing schools could open and also that masks made no difference. Then, she suddenly shifted her positions (probably around late 2021?) and it was baffling.

I loved Emily Oster when she courageously put out data showing schools could open and also that masks made no difference. Then, she suddenly shifted her positions (probably around late 2021?) and it was baffling. Either her employer (Brown) told her to stop putting out the data on masks or maybe she took a consulting gig that depended on her playing down the fact that masks didn't work. Either way, she lost my respect at that point. The Amnesty article was really just the final straw. It wasn't just "the right" as you implied that turned on her. I'm not right or left. I'm a parent who fought VERY hard for two years for my kids to get their lives back. I watched my children spiral into depression. I watched as politicians, the media, school administrators, and teachers unions STOLE their lives. There will be NO amnesty as long as I live. I turned on Emily because she turned on us. It has nothing to do with being right or left. I'm sure she is a perfectly nice person, but she appears to have sold out and I have zero respect for that.
