1. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

2. He makes a promise he can't keep. He should review the ethics on that.

All those precautions reduce the chances of contracting COVID, but do not eliminate the possibility.

3. r u referring to where he says he is "confident" he can provide a "safe" learning environment?

i've looked it over several times and don't see the promise you're insisting he is breaking

[SYFROYH]

4. No one gets COVID on his watch is how he finishes

[dpibel]

5. And you find that ethically subpar?

A person might almost think you had an agenda.

[SYFROYH]

6. its a promise he cant keep.

He could have said, "I want to reduce the chances of you catching COVID on my watch."

7. omg! sorry he can't be up to your standards (can anyone??)

this is the best description i've seen since we began lockdown march 13th 2020!

and with all the unmasking, all the bullshit of sitting beside others and no social distancing, wearing proper masks (instead of stupid surgical & gators), a reminder to stay the fuck home when you're sick or living with someone who is sick... and you take issue with this???

if all his rules are followed, how will someone catch covid in his class?

give me a fucking break!

[SYFROYH]

8. Normally I wouldn't care, but he's throwing around science and ethics.

It's really his standards that he isn't meeting. Not mine.

9. ugh! DONE!

10. That is not a quote.

[SYFROYH]

11. Correct. That's why there aren't quotation marks.

Folks can read the OP for the full context, but here is the full quote.

"As a licensed psychologist, I have a moral and ethical obligation to do better (see Section 3.04 of the APA Ethics Code), so you will not be getting COVID on my watch." Emphasis mine.

12. Just as with the 2nd Amendment, discarding the 1st part results in misinterpreting the whole.

[SYFROYH]

13. But not as much as some people think.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. You turned his explanation for his requirements and his goal into a "promise".
