How many quacks are doing this?

I am really surprised that science blaming can still be turned into a cult in 2024

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What is not understood can often be turned into horror, and by Odin do most people not understand shit. Mind you we are all ignorant of most things due to the nature of reality, the problem is assuming you know the unknown.

The more you know the more you realize what you don't know. If you don't know jack shit to start. And learn horse shit your still don't know jack shit. And the realization never hits.

Did you forget the /s?

SBM is run by Dr Stephen Novella aka Skeptics Guide to the Universe, these guys are some of the most vocal (and knowledgeable) pro-science anti-quack science communicators around... if there's BS antivacc nonsense floating around, they'll call it out and rip it apart.

Can highly recommend their podcast (the aforementioned Skeptics Guide to the Universe) as well!

no, Science Based Medicine is a class act, focusing on improving medical care, and care that's science based instead of feelings.

That’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Weren’t the same antivax quacks claiming we’d all be dead from the vax within a year? Seems like they are very lacking in the critical thinking department

A lot of people did die, we had athletes keeling over in record numbers "mysteriously."

These were young extremely healthy people mind you. I can only imagine what that experimental shit would do to my alcoholic, chain smoking not-quite-fat-but-close-enough middle aged ass.

Meanwhile, I got covid twice and it was no big deal so YMMV.

Wow, you were wrong as fuck there. You gonna be an adult and own up to it?

[+] [email protected] -42 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Wrong about what? I didn't get the experimental vaccine, got sick twice. Ooooohhhhh scary, like a bad cold lmao. Meanwhile at least 3 people in my circle got the vaccine and fucking died. And the ones that didn't die all got sicker than me. I'm fine with my decisions lol. Why the fuck do people trust any government these days?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Those people? Albert Einstein.

Please clap.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

I don't trust the government, but if I look something up and come to the same conclusions, so be it. I don't listen to the internet, or Joe Rogan style propagandists. I'm not gonna knee-jerk oppose something just because the government agrees. This is your, and people like you's, problem. You're so afraid your peers will perceive you as "trusting the (wrong) government" or going against your favorite propagandists that you will actively oppose your own best interest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

How many is "a lot" to you?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago

yes, young people die... but then, young people are always dying. . The amount of sudden cardiac death among athletes has gone down over the past 20 years.

So, if you had the shot, you would have been at a lower risk than if you didnt.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well I'm dead as a whistle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

This Plopp wouldn’t “foom” if you put 40,000 volts through him!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm dead inside, does that count?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

As long as you don't open.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

It's like those doomsday cults that have to change the date after each time the world doesn't end, first they said everyone would drop dead in weeks, then months, I think now they're claiming that it's a slow burner like smoking.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

why not just call it what they think it is: Magic.
