The Year of No Science
The Epoch Times ^ | 15 Feb 2021 | Roger Simon

Remember “The Year of Living Dangerously”? That was a 1982 film based on a 1978 novel about a love affair during the year Sukarno was overthrown in Indonesia, 1967.

2020 and now 2021 might be called the Year or Years of No Science… or maybe Phony Science… or Pretentious Science… or, perhaps most accurately, Political Science (but not with the usage commonly employed).

Yes, I know we have seen the extremely rapid appearance of COVID-19 vaccines from several companies, but we have no way of knowing if they work long term or, more importantly, if they were necessary.

(FULL DISCLOSURE: I have taken both Pfizers myself, largely because it will undoubtedly soon be required by our government to able to travel.)

It’s quite possible this pandemic would have run its course the way all others have without intervention—or that it was highly exaggerated in the first place.

No one has fully explained that not that many more Americans died in 2020 than in previous years, when the pandemic was supposed to have killed hundreds of thousands, nor has anyone a satisfactory theory for why countries and states without lockdowns often do as well as those with the most stringent regulations.

And this is not even to mention the amount of extraordinary and endless contradictions (mask/no mask… hydroxychlorquine yes/no… ivermectin yes/no and so on) we have had from medical experts, sometimes apologizing to us for their mistakes but other times changing their minds in full view as if we never noticed.

I like the epoch times. A lot. Just can’t justify $8/month digital subscription.

Seriously, who came up with that? They’d get 5x subscribers for $3/month, and make lots more $ overall. I think I’ll call them tomorrow about it. Who knows?

Actually Mr. “I invented the Internet’’ might have a point. According to astro physicists many of the large , distant stars in the universe went super nova eons ago and we on Earth are seeing the remains of that event.

So maybe we are all dead. Who knows? Science. Ain’t it grand?
