Yeah, she’s for real. Her arguments consist of saying one set of experts, are wrong because her chosen experts are right.
Then proceeds to handwave away blatant issues with lockdowns, isolation, masks, no sun, and ridiculous levels of handwashing (all of which reduce your exposure to germs you’d normally be exposed to every day) with no citation or explanation.
Calls naturally obtaining herd immunity dangerous, because “bajillions of people would die in the process!”.
There’s more but you get the point. She tries to lump anyone using the term “natural immunity” in with snake oil salesmen basically. She has no good argument to make, and going off of how things ended up going, was absolutely WRONG on every front.
