An opinion is not science
Good piece. Thanks for posting.
Scientists themselves have played a role in spreading this misinformation, partly via the “file drawer problem” in which experimental results that support the preferred narrative are publicized and promoted, while those that disconfirm the narrative are downplayed or ignored.
Systemic misdirection.
— Thomas Sowell
One thing the media fails to understand is there are different levels of scientific certainty.
Take masks. It is almost impossible to design a clear study to prove that mask wearing works. We all started wearing masks last year mostly because countries in Asia where mask wearing is common had much lower transmission rates. It was at best a guess that masks might be what made the difference.
On the other side we have the vaccines. We have double blinded clinical trials for both safety and efficacy for all the vaccines released. That is as close as science gets to being certain something is true.
The problem is both get simplified by the media as “scientists believe.”
Science isn't political, it's supposed to be purer than politics.
The release of the Wuhan virus is political, as is the international response.
The timing of the knowledge that we had "*the vaxxine*" was timed to be political, post election, despite that finding was 'delayed' by Big Pharma.
The fact that the Clinical Trial, Control Group data of the "*Vaxxine*" study is altogether missing, yet the 'jab' is approved "under emergency conditions"
re-affirms that this was a political decision.
The fact that "the jab" received FDA "General Approval" approval without all data and documentation, including VAERS reports, clearly demonstrates political chicanery.
The "Vaccine Passport" concept which is being conducted by corporations and businesses, because the government can't impose a vaccine passport, is purely political.
Excellent article.
Remember, the people who tell us to “follow the science” are the same people who tell us there are 48 different sexes.
Here’s a thought
IF masks worked then no one in Japan would get sick
