This article is total gibberish. It weaved a few scary scientific words into a construct that is invalid to the point of complete and total incoherence. So I went to the site. A blog for sure. An opinion that some will take as facts. But here is the true demonstration of total fringe behavior. Published three weeks ago, there were something like 130 likes with 38 comments offered by the same six or seven people including owner of the blog.
It is completely reminiscent of the 30 or 40 here who operate in entirely the same way. Surely there are fringe on both sides of the normalized curve. Trusting in the general common sense of Americans, the vaccine was well embraced when it came out, likely saved many lives and as the virus has evolved to more contagious and less dangerous just as all pandemics end, people are not choosing to be vaccinate though it is available for those who make their choice. A choice that this Karen wishes to deny. Just as bad as the Biden requirement (not Trump) to mandate it.
And the vast majority have decided to shrug and move on. Which is the correct thing to do. Every day that goes by continues to affirm that even the most bizarre of theories like this one (and yes equally as bad on the other side) will find a micro audience on the internet and allow the siloing of people into monastic like echo chambers where the price of admission is confirmation bias.
It is stunning to watch the loss of western thought and broad curiosity submerged in the need to go viral — instead of being right.
The loss of logic and curiosity and particularly the ability to interpret evidence is the single greatest threat to our republic. “See someone agrees with me case closed, everyone else must be liars” has replaced the question “does this make sense and what is true” which has always been the hallmark of renaissance and enlightenment period thought.
Unless this is reversed, we are lost.
How MoveOn.org of you. "...total fringe behavior" was in evidence in the Founding Fathers, as in many scientists who work was denigrated until later adopted. "Trusting in the general common sense of Americans, the vaccine was well embraced when it came out" is quite akin to "trusting" the election of Biden over Trump.
"It is stunning to watch the loss of western thought and broad curiosity" excepting when that "curiosity" is not approved not only by you but by "the general commonsense of Americans." How "two weeks to flatten" something or the other. "Broad curiosity" includes those "fringes" which you denigrate.
And if you personally want to "shrug and move one," why write the comment as you did? Just shrug and move on. Others won't. Your own confirmation bias is showing.
“The loss of logic and curiosity and particularly the ability to interpret evidence is the single greatest threat to our republic.”
Ha! If you think it is bad now, just wait! The rats are experts on this, and running the education system. The medical industry is just one more victim in all of this.

Curious, I seem to recall over the past few years that you were generally positive to the administration of the Covid Shot?
Knowing today what we know now (as in the present), has your position changed? If yes, why. If no, why?

Here I thought you claimed to be an anesthesiologist. I had no idea you are a geneticist, cellular biologist, ….
Where does your area of expertise end ? You claim to have such unlimited knowledge. Oh my. Are you god?
