Would you mind toning down the ad hominem attacks here?
I, for example, suggested to a number of non-scientifically trained friends that the scientific consensus about vaccines was pretty strong, that the vaccine studies were well conducted and that they should trust this scientific view of vaccines. Essentially, "trust the science" as opposed to "trust people trying to make political hay by fear-mongering".
You are saying that I am a moron. In fact, I am not.
- pcdoodle 4y agoSorry, It was not directed at you dude. I believe trusting the science in this case was "jumping the gun" and a little bit of "blind faith". Now that the dust has settled, hopefully trust can be rebuilt.
- ted_dunning 4y agoWell, if you are going to be as insulting as "the trust the science morons", could you be a bit more specific about exactly who you are insulting. Your description fit my own actions pretty accurately. Or, maybe, you could just be less insulting as opposed to going for the highly nuanced position of being less indiscriminately insulting.
