Your examples are, in my opinion, poorly chosen - the only ones of relevance are the seatbelt and the smoking ones, since those actually can harm others. And in these cases, there have been laws put in place to limit other people's exposure to this danger, like seatbelt driving laws and smoke free areas.
What lies where there? The only point that I saw until now was the correlation of positive tests within 28 days that another commenter pointed out, but I don't know if that's directly a lie. Can you name one that specially bugs you?
I don't see why you refuse to call vaccines a science effort - it is wholly backed by decades of research when you consider the mRNA transport mechanism (and not the payload itself, I agree here).
- ghoward 5y agoLies like telling people they don't need to wear masks at the beginning (or maybe the lie was flipping to saying we did), or the admission that the goalposts were being moved on herd immunity, or the lie that gain of function research was not funded by the NIH. There are plenty of lies. And those are just the ones admitted. Never mind the fact that Fauci and others have stakes in pharma companies. Regarding those laws, as I alluded to, they don't take away people's livelihoods. And they are actual laws, not edicts by a governor. The vaccines may have science behind their creation, but engineering always comes into play when you have to actually create something. The science created the theory, but engineering creates implementations. And I don't trust these implementations the same way I might like theory behind a programming concept but not trust implementations. Like in cryptography.
