These four words are helping spread vaccine misinformation

Smart people do their own research. Dim lemmings want you to mindlessly obey. No wonder they are dumbing down education, and reducing standards across the board. An ignorant mass is far easier to control than an educated one.

[Jane Long]

BTTT!!

Four words:

Free Republic Vax Pimps.

CNN loves you guys. Keep it up.

or, as Dear Ronald Reagan once sarcastically said, “I’m from the government and i’m here to help.”

[IYAS9YAS]

There are so many posting the evils of the shot, there isn’t room for the truth.

The problem is, so many in the government, in the pharmaceutical companies, the media, and in the scientific fields have be-clowned themselves so much in the past that they've made themselves unreliable with regard to truth.

"The problem is that most people simply don't know how to do their own research, especially when it comes to understanding the complexities of medical science."

That's a complete and deliberate misinterpretation of what people mean when they say "do your own research." They don't mean that you should somehow personally do first-hand medical research, but that you should consider the views of a variety of EXPERTS who HAVE done research, and not simply rely on one or two government sources, particularly when these sources have often been wrong or dishonest.

"Science is a consensus building process," DiResta said.

It's pretty much the opposite of that.

Science is a consensus building process

The consensus of science at one time was that the earth was flat,

Doublethink?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

“Do your own research” is a wise idea in most things.

Actually in all things medical it is a good idea because people are not clones.

I can take almost any drug and it works fine. Husband can not. Half the time he ends up with undesirable side effects. Some of the side effects can be crippling. So I research every drug they put him on and keep an eye out.

Consensus is not part of the scientific method

[beancounter13]

Agreed. Science is Black and White. Grey areas in science are merely theories, and it is dangerous to make wide-scale decisions on theories.

Look no further than the butter - margarine wars of the 60s and 70s.

Polyunsaturated Fat, anyone?

No, I don’t understand the “complexities of medical science.” But I DO understand and recognize greed, lust for power and control, and political manipulation when I see it. And I see it.

[escapefromboston]

It’s almost funny that someone thought this was a reasonable article to publish.

[CodeToad]

CNN never does research so they don’t want anyone else to. They just want everyone to accept their democrap party propaganda without question.

[KierkegaardMAN]

Research. A relative term. For your average bloke, it is tantamount to typing some words into a box on Google and pressing search. The real information has, for the most part, been scrubbed from the Internet by the usual suspects: Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc., etc.

[meowmeow]

Actually there was never any consensus that the earth was flat, only that it was the center of the universe.

Sorry if already posted, but there’s another well-known four words on this issue.

Sometimes referred to as caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.

My research points to the fact that Ivermectin is a DEADLY POISON in the Western world, whereas on the separate planet of central Africa, it’s a harmless life-saving essential medication given like candy for free to illiterate African villagers.
