WSJ hires from the same pool of reporters as the NYT, Washington Post, etc.

>WSJ, which remains a prestige MSM outlet,

The stories in the WSJ are slightly less political than the other large mainstream papers, but not by much. The Editorial Page is a bit more conservative. I have been amazed at how they have ignored the Jan 6 Prisoners and Election Fraud Issues, that tells me a lot about their political leanings..

I'm not endorsing the newspaper--I unsubscribed years ago. Just saying that the Makarty's article appearing there is significant for what it says about the Overton Window.

Does anyone else find "It’s time to reinstate those employees with an apology" a laughably gross understatement? I can understand Makary treading carefully upon publication in such an "august" journal - or perhaps that phrasing was the result of editorial construction? Anyway, If I lost my job because of not taking the vaccine after having had COVID, I would be after way more than an apology. After all, employers (as of now) have no immunity around their coercion and harmful actions pertaining to the vaccines and medical treatment.

Dying refueled are the most insane…… plan accordingly.

The whole thing is mind-bogglingly discouraging, but it looks like we'll soon be getting a pretty rude wake up call from reality. Nothing like a dose of reality to turn one's attention away from a fantasy world.

"you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason their way into."

Perhaps not true believers, but the pressure of the real world--when it comes, as it surely will--may reveal how few of those there really are.
