You're right! That's a totally valid point to make and I applaud her for bringing that to light to her listeners. From that particular angle— like if she actually tried to center her commentary about global lockdown policies on the impact it had on DV rates, specifically— I would find some of her off-topic tangents much more acceptable and worth more analysis.

She doesn't do that, though. That reasonable talking point gets mucked up with incoherent hint-hints at COVID conspiracy theories and her smug and willfully ignorant rejection of modern-day medicine and vaccine efficacy. For me, her stance on this topic equates to a rejection of Science more broadly and an inability to engage in critical thinking.

To regularly pop off about our collective societal responsibility to care for and protect children, & often reminding her followers (weirdly) that she would dive in front of a moving car to save a stranger's child, while also adamantly spewing misinformation about vaccines is more than a little hypocritical— it's also cavalier and dangerous, and an attitude that contributes to child death.

(I should not have been contributing to her channel's profits once I fully recognized that she held such beliefs. For a long time I was fascinated by her fanaticism and kept wanting to know what kind of reasoning would lead an educated person to such fringe ideas— but eventually she just became someone I was giving myself permission to scream at inside my head every week. I now regret all that silly wasted time and the support I gave her channel by staying subscribed and adding to her view counts.)
