I think as scientists, we have to understand that the argument is not just a cerebral one about scientific definitions. We are part of a larger world. Everything we say has to also be clear on both a science and a lay level --and we all know what these particular words mean to the general public. We also see every day the accepted practice at the national level of taking things out of context. Our words, even on this forum where we assume it is just us chickens cackling, have ways of getting into the mainstream.
If we play with loaded words, we have an obligation to make sure we are not providing fuel for fires we didn't set.
What this means now to me, is that when we write, lecture, or train on zoom, we must always consider the Fauci-factor. I know I sound like I shoot from the hip, but that's 80 years of Vaudeville talking. There is, despite the impression, a script.

Just to make it clear-. I=E2=80™m not a proponent for getting everyone sick. The issue I'm raising is about how we argue and advocate for any point of view.

1. You can't get a reasonable herd immunity from a disease that apparently doesn't make people immune for very long. There have been a number of reinfections documented,
and this morning the death of someone who was reinfected was reported.
2. I'm not sure why you would sabotage your own thesis by including the link to the John's Hopkins article which says in part:
Why is getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 to "get it over with" not a good idea?
