Resorting to calling people "anti-science" is just as counterproductive and unnecessary as calling them "anti-vax". You're only solidifying animosity and mistrust. People have every right to question what they're being told by the same governments who mishandled this epidemic from the start - especially since there such strong political incentives that aren't necessarily aligned with scientifically based recommendations.
- jimbokun 5y agoYou are vaguely waving your hand at unspecified "political incentives" with absolutely no specifics or evidence of anything. I mean, you can question anything, but that has about zero value. Answers with evidence backing them have value.
- ironmagma 5y agoEverything should start from a place of questioning. If there is data and the data makes sense, that can replace questioning with certainty. But often the data has a limited or tenuous connection, possibly even a fraudulent connection. This is why it’s important to actually read the studies and understand the science, not just to hand wave it away as “evidence = value.”
