Apparently, according to the compliant, statist left, objecting to the politicization of science now constitutes—wait for it—politicizing science.
That should come as no surprise. For months, the COVID fascists have been labeling those of us who are skeptical of unconstitutional lockdowns and mask mandates as “science deniers.” Which just goes to show how confident they are in their position. Nothing screams “weak argument” like name-calling.
But to say that we skeptics deny science is false. We’re just not buying the self-styled elite’s self-serving, often anti-scientific spin on “the science.”
Why not? Let’s count the reasons:

Because we “stupid people” know that the Commie Rats have been buying science to fit their agenda for years. Like EVERYTHING else they touch, the Commie Rats corrupted science years ago.
I do know where that came from. :-)
I’m a denier of politicized science, which is pseudo-science.
Isn’t skepticism like the foundation of Science?
“Prove it.”
“That’s nice. Prove it again.”
“Okay, my turn to duplicate it.”
“THE” science, SETTLED science, etc.. have been convenient cudgels for the marx brothers and sisters.
I reject science fiction. It’s imaginary.
I reject political science. It’s only art.
Yeah, it’s Kafkaesque...
Not being a scientist nor staying at a Holiday Inn, all I know is the first lock down didn’t do squat, except for kill millions of American’s livelihood. I have eyes and ears, plus the now dead commonsense.
Lysenkoism was a political campaign led by Trofim Lysenko against genetics and science-based agriculture in the mid-20th century, rejecting natural selection in favor of Lamarckism and exaggerated claims for the benefits of vernalization and grafting. Lysenko served as the director of the Soviet Union’s Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
More than 3,000 mainstream biologists were dismissed or imprisoned, and numerous scientists were executed in the campaign to suppress scientific opponents. The president of the Agriculture Academy, Nikolai Vavilov, who had encouraged Lysenko, was sent to prison and died there, while Soviet genetics research was effectively destroyed. Research and teaching in the fields of neurophysiology, cell biology, and many other biological disciplines were harmed or banned.
Other countries of the Eastern Bloc including Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the German Democratic Republic accepted Lysenkoism as the official “new biology”, to varying degrees, as did the People’s Republic of China for some years.
In time, it has come to be identified as any deliberate distortion of scientific facts or theories for purposes that are deemed politically, religiously or socially desirable.
Lysenkoism lasted from 1933 to 1965.
The Population Bomb is a best-selling book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich and his wife, Anne Ehrlich, in 1968, just three years later. It predicted worldwide famine in the 1970s and 1980s due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth, for one-world government to control and ration a long list of things that he insisted would soon be rare, like oil, metals, etc.

The “science” told us 50 years ago the earth would be a frozen tundra by now. 20 years ago the “science” told us the glaciers would all melt and cities would be under water.
So yeah, call me a denier.
That is a great GIF...:)
Same people that wont accept the settled scince that a new life begins at coneption
These people who wail that we don’t believe in Science, are the same people who refuse to recognize that XX determines Female and XY determines male.
And they wonder why we completely disregard anything they say.
If the masks work and lockdowns work then why the “surge” in cases. California has maybe the most draconian regulations regarding Covid. And on this mornings news a huge surge in cases.
And then there is this supposed new strain. Will the vaccine control this? Why would it?
Hospitals are being overwhelmed? Well my Mom is in Hospital. I’ve visited. Ghost town. I did not go to ICU. But why not secure an entire floor for Covid patients?
Who are you going to believe. Me? Or your lying eyes?

Dr. Roger Hodkinson offers his informed perspective to Edmonton’s City Council on how governments responded to COVID-19. He has called for the end of restrictions, mask use, testing, and social distancing. He agrees it is time we return to normal.
Dr. Roger Hodkinson is a virologist and has held many prestigious positions in medical institutions across Canada. Presently his firm sells COVID tests and has direct knowledge on the lack of effectiveness to diagnose illness.
All science is unsettled. Please make a note of it.
