So...no national healthcare?

All we hear is folks will have to stand in line. Choices to turn away very ill patients. Whatever.
But the choices that folks are making...not wearing masks, joining gatherings with no precautions, thumbing noses at sound scientific evidence, irresponsible state leaders...these things are happening right now. And guess whose fault it is? It's your fault (you know who you are).
And, btw...this free vaccine? Pffft. Pfizer has just raised prices on other meds. Guess who pays for that?

Was uncertain if this is healthcare or political. So...in to the go to🤷‍♀️

Establishing facts is not the pursuit of science.
@KrackerBash Isn’t it ? Science is about the how and whys of life, technically speaking. Arguably, religion has been about the hows and whys philosophically. 🤔
I stand by my statement. Yours is accurate. They do not contradict.

Science never stops pursuing new evidence.

@KrackerBash I concede. I should have said sound scientific evidence. I will edit.

@KrackerBash More Horseshit !
@Picklebobble2 I’d rather you prove me wrong than shout “horseshit”. Not really offering me much to consider, Pickle.

@KrackerBash [quote]Establishing fact is not the business of science [/quote] That’s [b]exactly[/b] what science is !
@Picklebobble2 Care to quote that from a science journal or academic source? If you can, we’ll have something to talk about. Otherwise, what you’re experiencing is cognitive dissonance.

@KrackerBash Just for the sake of finding your level of understanding, explain why you make this presumption ?
Because it’s unfathomable
@Picklebobble2

You can find explanations of what science is and seeks to do all over the web. You’ll find support for my claim. What you won’t find, and I encourage you to prove me wrong, is that the business of science is to come to concrete and unquestionable conclusions.

Some examples supporting my positions (with source links):

• No scientific idea is ever once-and-for-all "proved." https://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/0_0_0/whatisscience_04
• Many people accept the misconception that science is capable of providing proof. The reality is that science deals in probabilities, not proofs. https://thelogicofscience.com/2016/04/19/science-doesnt-prove-anything-and-thats-a-good-thing/
• Science is the [i]pursuit[/i] of knowledge about ourselves and the world around us. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-41698375

@KrackerBash NONE of which explains your statement.
@Picklebobble2 All of them do. You’ll understand if and when you’re ready to question your own unfounded fallacies.

@SW-User Again, find a scientific/academic journal, research-based website, or any scientific reference that even loosely claims science establishes facts.

If the direct quotations from my references are not understandable to you, I really don’t think you’re ready to let go of whatever biases you’ve formed your paradigm around.

@SW-User I ask for one thing.

Support your position, with any reference, or just stop. I’m not impressed. @SW-User
