When a valid study is retracted by its authors because they don't like the conclusions being drawn from it, when a university professor is fired for citing research that his university published, when journals publish any research that conforms to certain political views, even when it is obvious garbage, it is not science being distrusted because it is not science which is being performed.
When we are told by scientists that masks don't work, and then, with no new research being done, we are told by scientists that we must all wear masks, it is not science being performed. It is propaganda. I distrust propaganda.
In any field in which I am not an expert it takes time to determine if something that is claimed to be science is really science, or if it is propaganda. I trust the scientific method but I don't trust that people claiming to be scientists are using it.
- c06n 6y ago> valid study is retracted Which study was that?
- TheOperator 6y agoI have absolutely seen recent research on the efficacy of masks. Scroll down to "Human Studies" [1]. I was sceptical on masks from the start (although I still wore them when you weren't supposed to) but new evidence came in about a novel coronavirus. People then did spread this information via yes, propaganda, for the efforts of disease control. I do think how "science" at once proclaimed that masks don't work so don't wear them we need them for hospitals made me fairly incredulous at the obvious contradiction. So I defied science. Worked out. [1] https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/masking-science-sars-cov2.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/masking-scien...
