Fauci's Inductive Risk:

“When he downplayed mask efficacy to prevent hoarding, Fauci arguably manipulated the public.” But can his position be defended using an argument from inductive risk - using different levels of evidence depending on whether hypotheses align with political or other extra-epistemic goals? Eli Lichtenstein argues "no."
