I politely disagree
The number of conspiracy theories are rampant snd the ratcheting up of abuse of those of us who express counter arguments to vaccination is quite ridiculous. I have been privately threatened to be doxxed, been impugned professionally by Having one particularly rabid member ask me how I had time to post if I am really a doctor (for 20 years free republic has been a source of news and analysis that i look forward to reading after work). We have arm chairs experts promoting half truths for an agenda. And when someone says the emperor has no clothes the abuse gets worse
That’s why I changed my tag line. Sometimes after getting hit several times one swings back.
You and I can disagree all day long and still be civil and kind. One of the detractors admitted to someone else to being proud of being a bully. That’s the crap that happens at DU. I am not woke on the issue. I have evaluated the data from what I see clinically everyday for the last 18 months and made educated judgments. Nothing more snd nothing less. Some, however, seem to take it personally to the point of character assassination if you disagree. Such are the alinsky techniques I reference.
If we went to find the truth we need to debate the facts and opinions eith candor, intelligence and good will. Conspiracy theories hardly meet any of these conditions.
I look forward to future interactions and thank you for the feedback. I will take it under consideration and adjust if necessary.
