Reasonable comparison, or ridiculous one?

Doomflower · 36-40, M
No because the RESEARCH has been done and continues to pile up. It has been and is being done by people whose whole job is to study this kind of thing. Do ya really think some toilet librarian is going to find out something the researchers don't already know?

Notice how the first three are said to be asking for or reading information? Why is the fourth referred to as research?

It seems to me most of this "research" is done in bad faith. This meme strikes me as being in bad faith.

If it said he wanted to know the side effects of a vaccine or read read vaccine information sheet they give you before vaccination, it would be a good comparison. In this case the implication is that this person thinks they can uncover some truth thousands of scientists who have been studying mRNA vaccines since the 80s totally missed.

@Doomflower You did a great job of laying this out.

@Doomflower Have you ever thought that there might be a Program (the British government's Human 2.0, or Transhumanism, for example), which requires one unified message to be proclaimed across all media, and which shuts down other viewpoints fron tens of thousands of competent scientists worldwide? Science, as far as I'm aware, is a field for debate, not for suppression of debate.

I don’t know man.. once you read the stats on the car,food or pills ,you will buy it. Once you read that the vaccine is ok,you will search until you find something that says it’s not. That’s anti-vaccine

@QuixoticSoul Clearly, anyone who doesn't tow the party line, for you, is a deranged simpleton. Fair point.

@WalterF It's "toe". Toe the party line.

And the vast majority of people who "do their own research" are just that.

@QuixoticSoul You're quite right. Thank you.

But I am interested to see a slight concession.

Background: people who do their own research - could we include, for example, those who check Tripadvisor reviews before deciding on a hotel? Or those who see if they can get a better price than Amazon offers for an item? Or those who don't just go to the nearest car dealer and buy the car they take a fancy to, rather than compare models and prices elsewhere? Such people "do their own research." Apparently, this attitude is problematic for you. I don't really see why it should be.

But anyway: it's good to see that you consider that only the "vast majority" of these people are (choose your term of abuse)

This means, I assume, that there are some -if only a tiny minority - intelligent, constructive, solution-seeking people among those (naive idiots) who "do their own research."

How do you distinguish between the "vast majority", who should be cancelled, shouted down and silenced, and the others? What are your criteria? And how do you react to those doing their own research who are outide that "vast majority?"
No. Most people don’t understand how a laxative works, never mind a vaccine. But still, lots of noise.

Definitely a non sequitur!

This seems ridiculous to me
WalterF · 70-79, M
@SW-User Explain?

@WalterF no I can't be bothered, you blocked me in the past on a post of yours and deleted my comments, I made a mistake replying here
