A 75-Year-Old Warning about Those Who Say ‘Listen to the Science’
When people say “follow the science,” often what they’re really saying is “follow our plan.”

Well, sometimes the science might be right.

But the rest of the time, what are people supposed to do, use ouija boards, seances, and reading runes?

For *plan* read as *agenda*.. In the US, Fauci is making a complete ass of things, he doesn't stick to the same story from one fucking day to the next.

So what's the alternative based on? Someone else's science? Religion? Alien invasion?

Depends on their agenda. We've now had Fauci state that this vaccine doesn't follow 100 years of vaccine history & we all have to continue to wear masks after we're all vaccinated (that's NOT going to fucking happen)
At the same time Fauci was spouting this bullshit, the head of the CDC said there's no need to wear masks if you've been vaccinated because you can't catch it or spread it.
He also stated that there is a new strain that doesn't show up in the usual tests, has no symptoms at all & unless people have a blood test they will have no idea they have it... which if that's true, why the fuck would we have to wear a mask??

So basically the CDC has science & Fauci has an agenda. He's lost ALL credibility & is still being wheeled out by Biden. He got his ass handed to him by Jim Jordan at a hearing this week & couldn't, or wouldn't, answer questions.

Now here's a thing, this side of the pond few if any give a flying fuck about what Fauci does or does not say. :)

Fauci has always seemed pretty straight talking to me.

It's quite possible these covid variants will run ahead of the ability to get vaccines developed, tested, distributed and into people quick enough. So yeah - mask wearing might become the norm. This is all guesswork but it's useful to have scientists with expertise giving opinion rather than Joe public, who, by and large, is a belligerent fvckwit.

Presumably by "scientists with expertise" you mean scientists in the CDC. Agree with you.

That’s what happens in science. You alter your opinions and change your approach based on the emerging available evidence.

You should try it sometime.

I think there's quite a few more than just the people at the CDC who know how the last 100 years of vaccine science has worked & agree with it. Fauci doesn't. In fact he doesn't agree with anyone

& yet you took time out of your day to state it twice. :lol: Perhaps someone should add a statement to the forum description to mention one may have to deal with xenophobic twats.

This one is fucking epic:
"Centner stood by the decision Tuesday in a statement sent to The Associated Press, which featured the biologically impossible claim that unvaccinated women have experienced miscarriages and other reproductive problems just by standing in proximity to vaccinated people."
