Current conversation is about cancel culture
Guy links a video about covid misinformation
Gays and covid living rent free all day under that foil
Lol that was cancel culture. The most extreme example of it actually.
People were getting banned everywhere for “misinformation”. Some of the things people were saying to get those bans was total nonsense… but some of them are now prevailing theories.
Trying to silence misinformation is arguably the most antiscientific act you can commit.
"The worst aspect of the Velikovsky affair is not that his hypotheses were wrong... but that some who called themselves scientists attempted to suppress Velikovsky's work." -Carl Sagan
The role of the scientific community, above all else, is to combat the very concept of authority over truth. But during covid a great deal(an overwhelming majority) of people who call themselves scientists tried to become that authority. It’s a stain on the history of science. Anyone who supported it is a moron.
