And you are still leaning very heavily on the “medical” side, and pretending like there is a “scientific” consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point remains that, from a medical/science standpoint, there is no overreach occuring. It is all medically justifiable. Shutting the country down for 18 months would be medically justifiable. That isn't the standard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a "scientific" consensus regarding the need for mitigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransientTexan Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) An example of why it is not wise to always blindly trust "Science(tm)". Or at least the "Science(tm)" that the media has cherrypicked to let past their filters. https://mobile.twitter.com/dperetti/status/1259154540630364162 read the whole tweet thread Edited May 18, 2020 by TransientTexan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an oxymoron. The scientific process is designed to do the opposite of "blind trust". That being said, the only thing that refutes science, is better science. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
