She absolutely folded. I was "there" and remember it well.

Your emphasis, Erich, is a good reminder for those on Twitter who are claiming Dr. Oster is the victim of misogyny with all the blowback on her Atlantic piece. If her gender is any influence on the response, it's because those of who were mothers & fathers, fighting for open schools and being called every name under the sun, could not believe that a mom armed with data and influence would walk away like she did.

Even in her article, she gives tacit approval to politicians who would mandate the covid shot for school attendance. She hasn't retreated from her about-face, except to admit it was a mistake to mask outdoors.

Incredible.
