It's simple: "Science" has lost a lot of its credibility in the past year or two:
Here are some reasons
- Purposeful public misleading of the populus regarding vaccine side effects
- Shaming and censoring of serious, critical voices
- Self-censoring of scientist communities by avoiding publishing of truths that oppose a particular narrative (we have seen evidence of this in the concurrent thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34724174 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34724174)
- Scientists self-censoring for fear of political repercussions
- Heavy public discouragement and shaming of critical thinking that goes against what certain approved "scientists" say
Over the past year alone I have come across several examples for each of these. The bottom line is the public has been, and still is being misled.
You have been fooled regarding science.
Edit: I forgot the classic silent downvoting of course! Best example for what I just said. Constant attempts to silently suppress differing views. Thanks for proving my point.
If the downvoters were scientifically well versed they would at least attempt to make a fool out of me by countering my arguments with better ones, but alas ;)
- mrguyorama 4y ago> I forgot the classic silent downvoting of course You are not entitled to a response just because you are angry about something.
- jdthedisciple 4y agoOf course not. On the other hand, considering that the downvoters are unable to vocalize their angry reaction to me, I simply consider my argument/observation reinforced. It certainly illustrates my wider point: When it comes to critics, most people opt to censor (yes, downvoting is a form of censoring) rather than engage, then wonder why the notion that there is something sinister going on is becoming more rather than less accepted.
