The ‘midwit’ really came into its own during Covid and what a curse on the world they were, these individuals of above average intelligence, but not too far above, who nevertheless liked to think of themselves as far wiser than the common pleb. Every State Chief Medical/Health Officer in Australia was a classic midwit, diving into complex, multi-faceted public health issues with simplistic notions and infantile policies.
I'd forgotten about Nili. If provincial midwit misery is anything to go by, she and the rest of the Canadian dead-enders may very well boost themselves into the ultimate self-correction. That's not going to be much help for the children and elders they've managed to maim, but at least they'd be gone.
Wonderful, as usual, thanks for the research and efforts.
For rumination: I would be delighted, if i ever joined a 'defraud, then kill and maim innocents for personal gain' crusade, to escape with a mere 'midwit' title.
It brings up the Hanlon's razor question, doesn't it? It does appear that the delightful Dr Taylor falls into the stupid rather than malicious category. A medical education is expressly designed to select applicants with minimal critical thinking capacity, and then wallop any remnant of it out of students before they graduate.
"Most of the Covid midwits have now receded back into the intellectual swamp they came from ..." what a lovely turn of phrase. I got a good chuckle out of that :)

We can but hope!

If we had a functioning legal system, such stupidity would merely be a downgrade to manslaughter for so so many.
'Common law and Chapter 2 coincide in holding that proof of negligence necessarily defeats any claim that harm resulted from reasonable error.'
