This is not my point or what was said. I reiterated what was said and meant at length.
This is one of my points. Thank you for your support.
My position was not the average American who is uneducated on a topic should dictate policy or is knowledgeable, but rather that certain people can and do have important input and knowledge on certain topics, even if they don't have a medical degree.
Bold is demonstrably false with abundant video evidence. The media are partisan hacks without credibility. They regularly exaggerate and misrepresent to demonize and mock those not on the left/establishment.
I agree the masses have little to no understanding.
I don't believe that is what I said at all.
I explicitly stated that wasn't what I was saying.
Bold is false.
Again, democrats choosing to be pretend the science is on their side while shutting down debate is not being pro-science.
The editors of a magazine choosing to abuse their position and endorse a candidate under the guise of science does not dictate who is right or mean science is on their side.
Nor does it mean they are not partisans or that democrats do not have very anti-science positions and mantras.
TDS and social pressure is real. I have not denied that.
'Trump bad and some scientists don't like him' does not mean the democrats aren't just as anti-science if not more.
This is another appeal to authority instead of addressing the points.
“rather that certain people can and do have important input and knowledge on certain topics, even if they don't have a medical degree.“
You haven’t outlined a system for these qualified people to come through the ranks, without some type of degree. Are we supposed to be looking for some prodigy on YouTube?
Rest we can agree to disagree. AMA , scientific American, NEJM , all have strong track records for objective work. If you are labeling this as hackery, that’s one take I guess and think that’s more victim mentality than anything else. I don’t give trump the same pass and one side has been more clear about ignoring data than the other. I am not making excuses for Democrats saying they have done no wrong , as I have pointed out earlier in this thread the riots did nothing to help and were politicized. However one side has been abundantly worse.
