Do you think people are quarantining if they test positive or are hey treating it more like the annual flu and going on with their routine?
It’s a blanket term for what the mainstream finds acceptable. There are thousands of scientists, epidemiologists and doctors with widely varying opinions on the topic but only the viewpoints that align more easily with a government or corporate agenda are given a platform. This leaves many average people believing what they see on television is some sort of unanimous consensus among the entire scientific and medical communities when it’s not. This is why you still have misinformed people calling ivermectin ‘horse medicine’ because they saw it on a late night show, or have pseudo-intellectuals like Bill Nye or Bill Gates’ opinions being more highly regarded than actual experts in the respective field. Most everything they’ve said has been wrong and now instead of owning it they are just pretending it never happened. Now the current administration is banking on the goldfish-like memory’s of their base to comply when they roll out the clown show again to stay in power in 2024.
I think that 3 years later most of us have been better educated on the virus and the do's and don't's when dealing with it. That, coupled with the fact that many have been vaxxed/boosted, with more updated vaccines on the way, we shouldn't see huge spike in cases/deaths... at least not to the degree of what we endured between 2020-2022.
I'd love to see an example of somebody taking the word of Bill Gates or Bill Nye over an actual expert in that given field. I'm assuming this is related to COVID?
The media continuously giving them a platform through interviews and quotes while other more qualified experts were deplatformed, cancelled and banned for their opinions and research. I was referring to peak Covid times, yes.
The lack of self awareness here is truly astonishing. I’ve never demanded you provide citations or sources (mostly because you only post insults and blanket statements with nothing to actually prove), meanwhile you incessantly demand it of others while refusing to research anything yourself.
BS, you were asked to provide examples of someone actually taking the word Of Bill Gates/Bill Nye over experts...you failed to do so. The onus is on you to back up your own "blanket statement". My statement was not "an insult", it was factual. When asked, all you offered to support this opinion of yours, was another opinion of yours...not at all convincing/compelling.
The media gives big names air time. That's just what they do. Look at Trump. For some stupid reason they're putting his truth social garbage on CNN. It gets views. That's all they care about.
Are crackpots who once earned an MD or a PhD really 'more qualified' in any meaningful sense? Every field has nutcases, charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and such. Being able to tell the difference between an expert and a crackpot is a useful life skill. barfo
