It's easy to offer something with no comment when the comment(ary) is built into the piece. Nothing wrong with sharing op-eds, but doing so is generally a tacit endorsement in the absence of appended commentary to the contrary.
If we settled on the notion that the protests no doubt had some non-zero contribution to the surge, but were not a chief driver, would many take issue with such an assessment? From everything I've read, I am more worried about crowded indoor restaurants and bars than outdoor protests, clambakes, or any other large social gatherings where facemasks are worn... Sure, every large outdoor gathering with masks poses a risk, but my view is any form of outdoor, mask-wearing activity is substantially safer than anything indoor and without masks.
...But I realize the algorithms don't like that take, because it doesn't tend to inflame. :P
