Perhaps they're aware how many scientific studies are unreplicable. Or maybe that medical error is a leading cause of death. Maybe they know about thalidomide babies.
Or perhaps they simply didn't want to take drugs pushed by people who actively hate them and demean them at every opportunity.
Or possibly they're aware of the tendency of governments the world over to use emergencies to seize power, as has undeniably been done here.
Or maybe they believe in their own version of "my body, my choice".
Possibly also they don't want to take scientific advice on people who suddenly insist that boys can be girls, and that anyone who disagrees should be banished from society.
It's foolish to think one party "owns" science, and natural that people would bristle when dictated to by perhaps the smarmiest smuggies that have ever existed on the planet.

- mansion7 4y agoIt's impossible to stop noticing the same perpetrators doing the same things over and over. Also, as you're no doubt aware, calling someone "smug" and calling someone a Russian-backed Nazi science-denier (and then trying to get them fired and/or prosecuted) are very, very different.

- mcphage 4y agoDude, you couldn’t even get through complaining about people calling you names without resorting to the same thing that you’re accusing others of doing. I implore you: look into the mirror and seriously consider the idea that you might be part of the problem.
- subsection1h 4y agoLOL. This might be my favorite account on HN so far. 100 comments[1] in 2.5 years, and not a single comment that includes the words "software", "code", etc. -- but many comments including the words "woke", "progressive", etc. Hilarious.

- mansion7 4y agoSoftware and coding are morally neutral. Summoning mass false reporting brigades to destroy the livelihoods of innocent people is not. I can't help that it's mostly one side doing it. Perhaps if it were less blatantly obvious, people would stop noticing it.
