Lost my respect
I used to like this guy.
Now I think he is a fucking moron, like any other anti-vaxer defiling MY planet.
He's right about some things. He's very wrong about *this*. But it's another example of the horseshoe theory when it comes to politics. The far-left and the far-right are united over stuff like vaccinations, Ukraine/Russia, and many conspiracy theories in general. This is yet another example of why extremism, of any sort, often leads to irrational thinking and absurd conclusions.
shareIt's pretty pathetic that we are blaming people who had nothing to do with the creation of the virus, but are just concerned that the vaccine might end up impairing their health, instead of China who are the ones who actually released the virus.
shareChina didn't intentionally release the virus. They've suffered more than most, even three/four years in to the pandemic.
There are people who still need to be investigated and held to account, assuming we ever isolate the root cause of the virus, but that doesn't entail blaming *all* of China.
And in the meantime, we have to trust scientists who are developing vaccines for the public's health. They have no motive to hoodwink and betray the rest of us, and the vaccines have been shown to work, with only limited side-effects.
Whether they did or didn't, it's still their fault, and yes it is 100% China's fault.
And your last paragraph was beyond ignorant considering the left's cult leader Anthony Fauci has been caught lying about the origins of the virus, that lockdowns wouldn't do anything to slow the spread, that masks were pointless. If you seriously don't think this issue has become political then you have your head up your ass. Also I'm not sure if you know this but "shut up and trust the scientists" is the complete opposite of how science works, science is supposed to actively try to debunk itself.
I didn't say 'shut up and trust the scientists'. In fact, I think it's always a good thing to question authority/hold authority to account, and to never take anything for granted.
My point is that we shouldn't assume that the scientists have malign intentions. This isn't the Tuskegee Syphillis Study trials. The COVID vaccines were rolled out to everyone, so it's not rational to believe that the scientists weren't acting in good faith, but, of course, science should always self-check, scientists should always be honest with respect to mistakes, and we should always strive to expand our knowledge.
Well we know that Anthony Fauci wasn't acting in good faith, he was saying what the DemoKKKrat cult told him to so he could advance their fascist and radical agenda.
And everyone's medical history is different and it's also not the governments business. The DemoKKKrats were trying to force a "one size fits all" plan on us and it's not that simple.
EDIT: Also science is determined by evidence and testing, not the opinions of people who happen to be scientists.
