How does a rational person decide about an issue? Hint: The answer to this question is not, “read the mainstream media (MSM),” because those who merely read what the MSM has to say, are acting like sheep and often echoing what they truly do not understand.
The other day I read an article on I&I that had to do with blind criticism of what Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s Surgeon General, had to say about the Covid vaccines.
From I&I in defense of Dr.Ladapo:
“It is perfectly normal and acceptable for physicians and scientists to give opposing opinions to matters within their purview. It is called science. It is called a second opinion. This is elementary. If it cannot be questioned, then it is not science, it is propaganda. Only with the COVID hysteria has this basic pillar of scientific procedure been attacked and demonized.
There are certain individuals in society who, on certain topics such as COVID, scream out “The science is settled!” The implication being that no further discussion should take place or be allowed. For one thing, such a battle cry goes against the very essence of science. Science always questions, always doubts, always reexamines. For another, such an outlook is totalitarian in nature.”
As I found myself agreeing wholeheartedly with Dr. Ladapo’s views, the criticism pertaining to his ability to express these views kept reminding me of “global warming,” and the apparent inability to express any views opposite to what MSM is preaching.
To quote again, but this time in reference to having a different opinion on global warming:
“There are certain individuals in society who, on certain topics scream out “The science is settled!” The implication being that no further discussion should take place or be allowed. For one thing, such a battle cry goes against the very essence of science. Science always questions, always doubts, always reexamines. For another, such an outlook is totalitarian in nature.”
Hmmm! Imagine that! The vaccine mandaters and the global warming prophets of doom seem to have the same outlook when it comes to “science!”
