We used to celebrated understanding things. Even if our opponent said something we learned their arguments in order to better counter them. Because you won’t even consider a divergent set of opinions makes you a parrot of taking points instead of intelligent debater.

Your lack of willingness to even read something you may disagree with speaks volumes. And not in a good way.

Look, i was mostly being snarky. I think it’s important to caveat that clinical studies can be asserted and doubted and respected on either side.

The issues for a forum like FR are vaccine passports and lockdowns, and to a lesser degree mask mandates - and the concern is human freedom and the continuation of a republic.

Here’s why most of us here question studies like this: Because the authorities are using them, or likely will use them, for tyranny.
