What I really dislike is the parents who refuse to vaccinate their children, because big pharma/nature best/other insane arguments, but then take them to an ER when they inevitably get that preventable disease. For fuck’s sake, stay consistent. If you don’t vaccinate, do not go to the hospital later.
Which is why we have decades of medical science that has gone to great lengths to discover these things. They can’t be seen by the naked eye but they can be seen with a strong enough microscope. We know they exist and we know what they cause. We know how to prevent that from happening.
Yet these mouth breathing troglodytes have been conned into distrusting science on a fundamental level.
Says the twit regurgitating Fox News propaganda with absolutely no basis in fact, no sources, no data, nothing. Go find some credible primary sources for your horseshit - you’ll see there are none.
No one is talking about the “talking heads on TV”. I’m talking about scientific institutions that have dedicated their entire existence to studying these things.
If you’re actually smart, you don’t trust the way you feel because human feeling and intuition is heavily flawed and prone to fallacy unless you have extensive education on a specific subject and even then you still don’t trust it unless you can back it up with evidence.
You trust institutions of authority that have demonstrably shown themselves to be correct with decades of empirically backed evidence and study.
Also, you remember that scene from 1984 where the hero was being tortured? He was told over and over to never trust himself and to only trust the state.
Wow, so not only are you just completely stupid but you also completely lack even a semblance of media literacy.
You do know that scientific institutions and the state are two completely different entities, right? Don’t answer, that was rhetorical, we all know you don’t know a goddamn thing.
For the purposes of my point the difference doesn’t matter. Both are offering themselves as authoritative truth. Both are advising the suppression of personal truth in favor of that authority.
If you only use secondary and tertiary sources and never bother to look into the primary sources of information then you’re incredibly ignorant.
Fuck off, delusional moron. You are a walking ball of fallacy and Dunning-Kruger. It is clear how sorely lacking you are in education. Spoiled rotten idiot who has lived a life of relative safety thanks to the very science you try to dismiss.

Devil’s Advocate: Being sick is an immediately visible problem; vaccinations… viruses are invisible and you don’t see symtoms till its too late
Some of us consider a narrative presented by the media to be more substantial than the way we feel. In fact such people might be in the majority.

Surely we are smart to trust the way we feel more than we trust a talking head on tv.

I don’t watch fox news.
And there’s that anger again. It’s almost like somebody told you to get angry.
Doesn’t mean your talking points aren’t the same.

(Now take a breath. Dang!)
Most obvious ragebait account
The word from the “scientific institutions” arrives at your door in the form of, yes, a talking head. Speaking with great confidence like an AI.
I’ll keep trusting myself, thanks. It has served me well so far.
When you find yourself agreeing with the mob, that’s a good sign that you’re under the influence.
If you only use secondary and tertiary sources and never bother to look into the primary sources of information then you’re incredibly ignorant.

You’re engaging with a ragebait account
There’s the anger. That’s what we inspire with our propaganda. Stop thinking and raaaaaaage!
No shit, dealing with fucking idiots who are confident in their idiocy is infuriating.
You clearly have never been to college and I doubt you even passed fucking high school.
The only one who has stopped thinking is you. Now piss the fuck off, moron.
