“a wholesale war against reason and the idea of truth.”
To me this is the most dangerous virus destroying our society. The twin pillars of western society have always been Biblical truth for morality and scientific truth for nature.
The worst part is this extends just as much to the right as the left. No public figure argues for moral principles by quoting scripture. The anti-vax movement has found fertile ground among supposed conservatives after escaping from its home in the Green Party.

This is a brilliant observation. It is absolutely true that “wokeness” in all its multiple forms completely rejects objective reality and truth. Bring back reality!
idea pathogens are rooted in the ethical relativism of postmodernism, which denies the existence of an objective reality. \\
Bingo!
For fun, ask a leftist academic post modernist
if the first
post modernist
had electric lights
or running hot and cold water.
Modern ?, hardly.
POST modernists ?,, ya sure.
Lovers of themselves, pleasure seeking, deceiving and being deceived, disrespectful of authority, haters of what is good....sounds like Biblical predictions coming into play..
I do wonder however..how does one become an evolutionary psychologist....are there MMPI studies or a DSM 1 manual for Neanderthals or homo habilis or h. erectus or australopithecus aferensis? Is he board certified to counsel random bones unearthed serendipitously every so often?
“Anti-Vax movement”? I think you’re giving a good illustration of what this article is about.
I think there are many people who are justifiably skeptical or wary of a months old vaccine that hadn’t or hasn’t been tested through peer reviewed clinical trials for both safety and efficacy, and coupled with that an incessant advertising campaign to take it regardless of age, sex, pregnancy, comorbidities, adding to that with the absence of any mention of herd immunity reached through natural infecfion.
Anyone who beings these issues up are branded “Anti Science”, and with a “guilt by association” type of character association. It doesn’t necessarily follow. The people who are literally screaming “Follow the Science!”, they have no idea what science is. Even St. Fauci, the patron saint of all things Covid-19, declared any criticism of him, is automatically “anti science”; and you wouldn’t want to be “anti science” would you?
I’m gonna call that BS, and this is EXACTLY what is being described in this excellent article.
That raises the question of how do you believe we should get to scientific truth?
The highest level of certainty possible is a peer reviewed, double-blinded, large scale trial. We got that for all of the vaccines.
If you insist on more evidence than that, then you are denying the possibility of scientific truth as no higher level of verification is possible.
Dude.
Did you even read what I wrote? Be specific.
The Covid-19 vaccine is an experimental, emergency use only authorized vaccine. You (appear to be) doing exactly what the leftists are doing. This is an unethical and unscrupulous method of “debate”; if someone is skeptical of the Covid-19 vaccine, it does not make them “anti-vax” or “anti science”.
We have peer reviewed safety and efficacy data for “all the vaccines” except this one. That’s how they got FDA approval. Do you recognize the difference?
Vaccine immunization has been a boon to mankind, the list of infectious diseases that used to plague mankind is extensive and caused untold misery. You simply can’t put words into my mouth that I didn’t say. That is offensive as hell. Why would you do that?
“We have peer reviewed safety and efficacy data for ‘all the vaccines’ except this one”
Why do you think we don’t have that?
Here is the paper with the safety and efficacy results for the Pfizer vaccine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2034577
TOOL ..... much ?
PERUSE LATER.
DUDE
Is it your contention that these COVID-19 vaccines were approved by the FDA? This isn’t difficult.
[_] Yes
[_] No
Or, are they being distributed under EUA ?
Nod your head “yes”....
Common sense is not too common.
Yes, they were approved by the FDA under an EUA.
The important thing is to understand what an EUA means. It does not allow for any compromise on safety or efficacy data. You still need peer reviewed data proving that before a drug can get an EUA.
What an EUA does is cuts through the other details. As an example normal approval requires data on what temperature you need to store a vaccine at.
The Pfizer EUA skipped that step. That’s why doses had to be kept at -70 early on. We now know you can store it safely at a much higher temp.
“Yes, they were approved by the FDA under an EUA.”
LOL!!!
Now (again). That’s just authentic frontier gibberish. You’re being deliberately obtuse. That wasn’t the question and you know it.
Good try though!
So you deny the FDA issued an EUA approving use of the vaccines?
