When you totally own the legacy Media and social media, you can create your own fantasy world, and at least 40 percent of the public will believe it.

Stealing that

Highly informed — that’s why they are skeptics.

[Libloather]

...the majority of the people in the “skeptic movement” are highly informed individuals,

Google and Facebook are trying to remedy that, no?

I would rather that they didn’t know.

“The researchers conclude that data visualizations aren’t sufficient to convey the urgency of the Covid-19 pandemic, because even the clearest graphs can be interpreted through a variety of belief systems.”

That likely means that extrapolations from the data are ambiguous, but these researchers seem to exclude the possibility that they might be wrong. If they want to persuade those “highly informed” skeptics, they might try a little humility and open-mindedness. A lot to ask; I know.

Sounds like the ‘legacy media’ hasn’t figured out you don’t need a Phd in virology to understand this. It can be explained in simple English.

In evaluating information disseminated by the Federal government, option 1 for me is to believe the government is lying to me. In that regard, they have a flawless record. They obviously do not have my best interest at heart. I am not their main constituent or concern, elites and governmental apparatchiks are.

Part of the scientific method, but their "science" is authoritarian "shut up and do as you are told."

I don’t think libs BS detector were ever made functional.

Thumbs up to that!

“...are highly informed individuals, who are actually using official data to make their arguments.”

Case in point. It almost a sure thing when Youtube delets information like this.

It can be explained in simple English.

Case in point: Calling BS on muzzle requirements when the back of the box of disposable muzzles says NOT FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS.

And if you can’t explain it in simple English, you are the problem.

See: Feynman Technique

Albert Einstein is often credited with having said that (paraphrasing) “you don’t know something well if you can’t explain it to a child.”

Oh, they do have a BS detector.

But when they find it, they worship it.

Simply put,
Millions upon millions
Have not died from Wuhan,
ad originally predicted.
The vast majority of
deaths attributable to it
are advanced in age with
other issues.
Yes it’s a nasty flu
But it’s
No Black Plague.

[Big Red Badger]

Interesting,
That’s what I wanted
to do in my post.

The best I could do.

[Big Red Badger]

Of course I put
AD
instead of
as.
