[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does no one question this bully? Her only credentials seem to be that she is loud, long-winded and creates colorful charts. She is a graphic artist and appears to have not been in the workforce for years, except for her invitation-making business. [/quote]

^^ speaking of bullies

Her qualifications are on her LinkedIn. Sorry if public facts seem like bullying, but I am sick of her shutting down discussion. The way she refused to even entertain sharing how she came to her conclusions was weird. She makes broad, sweeping  claims with pretty graphics (because she is a graphic artist) that are designed to make the reader believe the information is backed by solid science. It is not. She is well-intentioned, but a hack. And so many clueless sycophants encourage her to keep producing. She has a history of bullying on other topics in the past - in real life, not saying on social media.

I am not APE, but I don’t care for how she squelches discussion and sows fear.[/quote]

What does her profession have to do with anything?

Feel free to challenge her points or question the data, but trying to tear her down because of her job is straight-up bullying.

Seems like you’re trying to silence her instead of addressing her points.

No one can challenge her analysis because she refuses to share it, and admit it involves certain assumptions on her part that no one else can review and evaluate.  Peer-review is the gold standard of scientific research, so when researchers refuse to allow peer review, their data is considered inherently suspect.  The same is true here.[/quote]

+1.  The same is true in law where either side needs an expert witness (e.g. tort law, product liability, patent infringement, medical malpractice claims, etc.).  Any expert who refuses to disclose their underlying data would be disqualified from testifying.  Thus, to many parents, because SmartRestart won’t disclose their conclusions are simply not credible. I don’t even understand why this issue is debatable. [/quote]

So what makes APE qualified to say it is safe to go in person to school? What they are saying is not in line with the new CDC guidance. We should take their word for it? Just like we shouldn’t take her word for it? It can’t go both ways. [/quote]

I’m PP you are responding to, and I doubt anyone in APE is qualified to opine on the science either.  It just surprises me that reasonably intelligent and professional people in Arlington have blind faith in the factual assertions of any group. [/quote]
