“Trusting the experts is not a function of science.” Science is done, and legitimately evaluated, by those who have put in the time and effort to truly understand how science is done - including a firm grounding in statistical mathematics. If one hasn’t, one should STFU about having”done one’s own research.” |
That's not true. Too many with a 'firm grounding in statistical mathematics' lied to us. Citizens have to do their own research to the best of each person's ability. Fortunately not all questions need be answered by 'statistical mathematics.' I read the FDA filings for Moderna and Pfizer and discovered that they didn't test their 'vaccines' for infectivity or transmission of the illness. So when those with a firm grounding in statistical mathematics assured us the 'vaccines' were safe and effective, I knew they were lying.
Doctors with the needed expertise, who had concerns and voiced them were threatened, fired, or had their license to practice medicine removed or contested/suspended. We have to do the best we can. Some citizens know statistical mathematics and some don't be we each do the best we can and most of the Plandemic was exposed just by reading what the pharmas, CDC, and their critics were saying.
But doing one's own research is the starting point for us all.
C.S. Lewis wrote years ago:
“Again, the new oligarchy must more and more base its claim to plan us on its claim of knowledge. . . . This means they must increasingly rely on the advice of scientists. . . . Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects.
Let scientists tell us about science. But government involves questions about the good of man, and justice, and what things are worth having at what price; and on these a scientific training gives a man’s opinion no added value. . . .
On just the same ground I dread government in the name of science. That is how tyrannies come in. In every age the men who want us under their thumb, if they have any sense, will put forward the particular pretension which the hopes and fears of that age render most potent. They ‘cash in’. It has been magic, it has been Christianity. Now it will certainly be science.”
“Fortunately not all questions need be answered by ‘statistical mathematics.’ I read the FDA filings for Moderna and Pfizer and discovered that they didn’t test their ‘vaccines’ for infectivity or transmission of the illness.”
That’s not a question of science, which was the topic of the sentence I addressed.
