The thoughts in the section about vaccine-only zones is something that I haven’t really heard discussed seriously before, but which I think there should be more of a conversation about.
As far as what I say about the FDA, there probably isn’t anything useful there that hasn’t already been said by Scott Alexander or Zvi M., and I’m sure they say it much better than I did; but I do think improving the role the FDA plays, and giving people more ability to make their own decisions regarding medicine (while making sure they are aware of scientific consensus, and scaling difficulty in proportion to the consensus), is vital to bringing an end to the mess we are currently in.
