The "precautionary principle" is a dubious heuristic to begin with, but it's flat-out dumb if you think it ought to override cost-benefit analysis instead of being *part* of cost-benefit analysis. https://t.co/vYV7hTvIV8 https://t.co/8nnbVRpHVJ — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Yeah even for people who are constitutionally incapable of accepting the liberal (or in this case really bipartisan) consensus on Ukraine it's like "Really? That's the best you got?". — PolitiTweet.org

Generously interpreted, the "precautionary principle" might mean "make an effort to account for uncertain hazards, even if they're hard to quantify". OK! But in this case (school closures) there are hard-to-quantify hazards *whatever* you decide. — PolitiTweet.org
