Most of “science” today, at least that discussed in our MSM is junk. It merely supports some ideological belief system. It's trash which is mere clutter in the mind and distracts from the real issues.

Much of the “science” our government presents has been twisted by a political and economic interest filter. It basically is selling a politician, party (Covid), or is making someone a fortune (Ozone hole). This so called science has a bit more of an objective and relevant appearance on the surface, but today's standards are so low that even a basic analysis reveals how it's also just trash. However, this is trash which gets FORCED upon you through the law and regulations, i.e. forced shut downs of private businesses, mandatory social distancing, closing churches, telling people they are forbidden to gather in groups even in their own homes... mandatory masking, mandatory vaccines... And what did it all achieve?

Truth is Covid and how our government reacted flew in the face of decades of established science and medicine where we KNEW masks do not work (even Fauci admitted that earlier), and where historically we quarantine those at risk, let the disease run it's course and then use the herd immunity achieved to protect those at risk after the wave passes.

The term “science” has become another badge that you stick on some agenda or argument to give yourself credibility. It's another slogan that needs to be added to any movement in order to appear as the logical and smart way of doing things. However, people are no longer discerning/discriminatory enough to separate what is fake from real. They lack even the most basic reasoning skills and that is why the “science” behind Covid took off like it did. The “science” behind Covid:

Ad hominem attacks: anti-vaxxer, science denier, irresponsible, unprofessional, reckless, unpatriotic. https://www.axios.com/2021/12/21/biden-covid-testing-omicron-patriotic-duty

Bandwagon: every celebrity, politician, and most people are doing it, you should too. https://ew.com/celebrity/celebrities-getting-covid-19-vaccine/

Appeal to authority: doctor Fauci wearing a white lab coat says so, so did John Hopkins, it must be true! https://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2021/02/03/anthony-fauci-double-masking-nr-sot-vpx.cnn

Appeal to force: if you do not comply we will fire you (vaccine refusals), fine you (if you don't close your business), arrest you (if you keep operating you business during the lockdown). https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/terry-lynn-wright-woman-arrested-twice-for-refusing-to-wear-mask-found-guilty/285-8d242144-7a66-4a2b-822a-f149d06020d3

Appeal to emotions: “This will be the winter of sickness and death for the unvaxxed.” https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/16/politics/joe-biden-warning-winter/index.html

However, what was missing in all of this were actual arguments, real empirical measures (they were almost all BS, the vaccines efficacy, death rates, side effects of vaccine)... Today we live in a world where “science” is bent to give one the answers we are looking for and that is as true for Covid as it is with the zero emission vehicle, climate change models, ozone hole... The only real common denominator here is that the people are to stupid to question what is blatant deception and should get people with college degrees that have a basic understanding of math and statistics throwing these lies around, fired.

Can't we just do it like this? If you pay Pfizer and Moderna $1,000 per head, you can not get the vaccine and live a normal life... and politicians will leave you alone, in the home of the free and brave where you have privacy rights with HIPAA.

Lysenkoism, plain and simple. Same people, same purpose, same result (mass starvation).
