[FRIAM] The unvaccinated

[Barry MacKichan]

Zeynep Tufekci had a column in the NY Times that agrees with Glen’s 
(oops! I mean s‚uǝlƃ) position in the discussion yesterday. It makes 
it more understandable why many have resisted

vaccinations. (I hope it is not behind a paywall.)

Barry,

It is behind a payway. Would you summarize?

I ended up getting the $1 subscription and now I have to do a chat to
cancel it :(
Thank you for the article, though. Nicely written.

Ublock and nano blocker, (for instance)  skips the paywall. so does adding
a . into the url. (chrome) it's a feature. it basically asks the url to
look for  absolute links from relative ones. (good for testing ?)
you can also turn on readermode (skips the paywall):

The blurb.
TLDR a bunch of lunatics going on about blah blah blah my body my
business.  Then it turned into a political thing. and now it's a GD
nightmare.
blah blah GOP blah blah blah don't like vaccines because ma rights blah
blah. Scientists aren't getting through.  Because they don't speak joe
average blah blah some analogies to treating anti-vacers as cats and bribe
them.
And everyone is fucking pissed at them.

Yes, this excellent article was behind a paywall.

This paywall is easily bypassed by either
a) turning off Javascript in the browser (easily done by the ublock privacy
addon), or
b) clearing the cookies for nytimes.com.
