What are protesters demanding. The cops have been charged. 
Oh I forgot, "defund the cops", great idea. Less cops easier to do crime


Quote:in the name of public health, thereby addressing multiple public health crises

The only health crisis is the damage that all the rioting has already done and people who have died from it


Quote:However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission

But you very same public health advocates have been condemning and enforcing against all types of gatherings for the last 3 months now. Hypocrites
All forms of gatherings are deemed a danger but this protest is immune from covid, its fine


Quote:This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders

You can go to this protest but not that one... Hypocrites. We have the right to assemble regardless of your virtue signalling ideological garbage


Quote:Those actions not only oppose public health interventions, but are also rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives.

What... LoL i can only laugh. So all gatherings are now "rooted in white nationalism". Even if it is a gathering of Mexicans
And run "contrary to respect for black lives". A person socializing with friends has absolutely nothing to do with any of that racist liberal crap


Quote:Prepare for an increased number of infections in the days following a protest

Well if going for a drive in my car was going to "kill a granny" this protest is going to kill millions
And let me guess... Lockdown again... LoL... Second wave... 


Quote:A public health response to these demonstrations is also warranted, but this message must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders

Firstly, there was people of all races at those lockdown protests. And again the hypocrisy. 
Condemn the peaceful protest and encourage the violent ANTIFA riot. 
LoL the left in America is so ideologically fucked. No shame in lying, no shame in double standards, no shame in open hypocrisy 


Quote:infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message.

Like I said, no shame at all. Medical experts are now doing a 180 and prioritizing something else over covid

KILL SOME GRANNIES... HYPOCRISY AND DOUBLE STANDARDS 

The most stupid part is still to come... People either justifying the hypocrisy or denying it...
Allow one public gathering and you can allow the rest

1. The issue is that George Floyd's death was part of a larger trend of police killing innocent people, with a disproportionate number of non-whites being affected, and that some serious reform is needed. This is an insanely well-documented trend.
2. As I've mentioned before, the only way you can say something like this is that Australia did a damn good job at stopping the spread of COVID early on. I live in a nation where the federal government is taking an alarmingly laissez-faire attitude towards the pandemic, and now we have more deaths and more cases than any other country.
3. Yes, they have been loosening their standards for social distancing a bit, and it's not just limited to protests. As I've mentioned before, restrictions are slowly being lifted worldwide, including Australia, a point that I can't help but notice you NEVER respond to. And why specifically defend these protests? Because police brutality is a big fucking issue, there's a long history of people abusing science to fuck with minorities which many scientists now want to avoid, and, crucially, they've gone out of their way to devote an entire section of the letter to mitigating the potential spread of the virus.
4. The seeming hypocrisy is because, unlike you, they actually have a sense of which types of gatherings are more important. There's a difference between protesting against your people getting killed and protesting the fact that you can't legally do shit like hang out at a crowded beach during a pandemic with a non-negligible death rate, and you can yell that more people are going to die in Australia from the lockdown than the virus itself all you want, and that doesn't mean a fucking thing because, in terms of major countries, that is actually an aberration from the larger trend.
5. That is specifically referring to the Anti-lockdown protests, not gatherings in general. And if you want to know what the connection between the protests and white nationalism, well, here you go.
6. While the "killing millions" is a bit of stretch, I can't rule out the possibility of a second lockdown or a second wave.
7. The double standard is because, well, See #4. Or maybe you can't tell the difference between protesting police killing you with impunity (and, yes, Chauvin has been charged with murder, and the fact that that's not the default reaction of police departments to incidents like this is a big reason for the protests) and just fulfilling hedonistic desires.
8. You can allow the rest. That doesn't necessarily mean you should. Hence why, in the real world, lockdowns are slowly loosening and not just ending full stop.
