You really should stop calling anyone that disagrees names or insinuate they are part of a delusional "cult". It is quite insulting to be honest. Not only that, you are one of those trolls that thinks he is right in everything and debates everyone and everything and then calls names to those that do not agree fully participating in the pressure to make people shut up expressing their thoughts. Please stop your rhetoric!
Edo - I am not going to take lessons on politeness from someone who calls me a troll on no evidence.
It is more than quite insulting that here many people - with delusional views - claim that most of the scientists around the world are engaged in a conspiracy to kill children for finanacial gain.
That is precisely what half the posters on this thread are claiming. Maybe they say it in coded ways.
This is the playground, where we can call a spade a spade. You think I am a troll. Which given that I care about content more than insults, and have proven that again and again with substantail content here, is weird. I think you are seriously biassed.
As for me thinking i know better than everyone else, you are just saying that. You have zero evidence. I think I know better than the antivaxxers here who parrot anti-science memes and don't bother to to any basic credibility research. I will refrain from calling it a cult which I agree does not quite fit - I was reacting to FMq1s language.
It is a bit rich you saying I think I am right in everything. The antivaxxers here make certain statements in zero evidence. All I do is to assert that there is uncertainty and complexity.
I do not know what is your evaluation of all the anti-science stuff posted here. I'd like to hear it, and will argue with you if I think you are missing things.
You seem to live in some world of post-modern relativism where every viewpoint is equally valid and it is trolling to call out those pushing poisonous and (not so much now - but earlier in the pandemic) deadly lies, claiming they know better than all of the scientists working on vaccine regulation, that have increased death over the pandemic.
That is not the same as decisions (to lock down or not, etc) made in good faith and where the best course of action is a judgement call. I'm happy for anyone to argue that lockdowns have overall been more harmful to society than if we had toughed it out and let more people die immediately. It is an arguable viewpoint. I'm not happy when people claim that covid is caused by 5G, glyphosphate (Seneff), Gates, or that the vaccines sterilise men, women etc. Nor the lite versions of those memes (spike protein poisons you more from vaccines than from covid) which seem more reasonable but are equally based on no evidence.
Nor the repetition of statistics claiming strongly that vaccination increases absolute risk of death, affects immune system adversely, increases risk of infection, etc, when nobody who understood stats would agree with those conclusions and in fact the best collation of evidence strongly says the reverse. That is not me saying I know better than antivaxxers here. It is me posting data scientists or others who give fair (not one-sided) and detailed examinations of those same statistics.
And that is trolling...
God help me what has this world come to. Seems LF on this thread is supporting Trumpian/Johnsonian post-fact "if I say it - it must be true and anything contrary is fake news" logic.
