Refusing to take off your mask IS ignoring the science now. When the CDC says it's time to ditch the masks you are anti-science if you're ignoring their advice. Can't be angry at the right for ignoring science and using their own risk assessment if you're allowing the left to also ignore the science and use your own risk assessment. Both sides are acting like they know more than the CDC.

I agree get vaccinated it's the right thing to do. But also listen to the CDC on masks. Can't pick and choose which CDC guideline you listen to and pretend you know better than them. Let's all trust the science instead of your gut.

Rereading this, what stuns me is how The Federalist managed to influence more mainstream outlets. As you document, The Federalist is so outlandish, so hacky, that it would be sage for a mainstream outlet to print the exact opposite of what it says in any given instance.

I'd say if The Federalist has influence on more legitimate outlets, that's not an alarm going off. That's the crisis, right there.
