I do find it rather hard to make sense of the antagonism here. My only guess is people feel the need to distance themselves from the "sheep" and do so by ridiculing them from their ivory tower. In some cases it's the same thing, but there's a political bent added to it ("some people" from "that side").
Sad to see what HN is slowly devolving into.
- binary132 2y agoIt’s probably an organized group of shills / bots trying to discredit and downplay the concerns so it doesn’t get out of hand. ;)
- gg2222 2y agoAgreed. If it is mass hysteria why doesn't the government just say so instead of saying "they don't know". Some people just can't accept not "knowing it all".
- IAmGraydon 2y agoThey more or less did say that. They said that people are reporting these things but they haven’t detected anything. If you read between the lines, I think they’re insinuating this is mass hysteria but need to continue investigating to be sure.
