Why the hell do we think scientific research needs a so called "debate". Are we trying to become school valedictorians?
What is needed is peer review, not debate. Debate is simply a euphemism for validation seeking for confirmation bias on random social forums.
If there was any problem with the peer review, there is cause for complaints. Are we going to hold a debate on whether the proof of fermat's last theorem is actually correct now?
- postsantum 4y agoNah, it's not the job of science to tell people what to do. We are not going to debate the correctedness of a theorem, but we need debates to justify lockdowns because of the theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem
- random314 4y agoThis is a discussion of vaccines, not lockdowns. The numbers are pretty damn clear.
- postsantum 4y agoThey advertised the clear number of zero when it comes to transmission rate between vaccinated people. Turned out, it was all lies
- chitowneats 4y agoThere's quite a difference between what the numbers actually say vs. what claims were made by public health bureaucrats to justify both vaccine mandates and other NPI-style restrictions.
