If “authorities” are “our single source of truth,” then we’re living under authoritarianism.

Yep, Fauci may or may not have said 'I am the science' and we were repeatedly told to trust 'the science' being told to us.

Science (ie study) is never settled, it is a process involving controversy (opposing perspectives) and arguments made by scientists against their own work as well as that of others in a setting where rigour, debate, controversy and arguments are healthy and vital.

Censorship of scientific debate, such as was imposed on me and others regarding 'covid' and the jabs, and the classifying of political and scientific dissent as mis or disinformation can never be justified with any excuse including that it puts people's health at risk is they overhear it, for example, and don't take the controversial jabs.

Yes this misinformation clamp down is being used by industry for greater control of the narrative and to make more profits.

yes! c19 propaganda had me kvetching: “what are they teaching kids in HS biology?!”

The Scientific Method was a 10th grade milestone—regardless of the kind of science you took (chem, phys, geology). by 10th you’re supposed to know that “science is a verb” it’s a method; never settled.

those who took biology2 would know the claims that “natural immunity doesn’t work on c19” were blatant lies b/c the whole idea of a vx is to stimulate one’s natural immunity. AHRGG 🫠 this used to be HS biology and we had post grad clinicians mouthing this nonsense. that’s terrifying to me.

it’s a “back away slowly from the scary people” moment.

Hiya Brook, yes, I love the scientific method, which they didn't apply to anything!

The whole thing was so suspicious from the very start-with the' it's new, it's a respiratory virus as deadly as a normal flu (ie in a village of 3000 it will kill 3 elderly people close to death) but also affects your organs, you can catch it from touching surfaces in shops and by going outside in the fresh air for over an hour'- gimme a break!

The whole thing had me applying the scientific method to virology itself. OMG. The results are here if you're interested. https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/seeing-is-believing

It was a truly scary moment with people engaging in double think but able to shut down half world and jab them with 'vaccines' even the convicted fraudsters at Pfizer could only show prevented common symptoms of detox in 0.85% more people compared to placebo.

I think it's important to point out that a body that decides what is true, and what is false, is the Ministry of Truth.

I've listened to some of the tripe on digitally controlling free speech and such. All they need is to find a way to make it seem it's for our own good.Having the news so obviously unrealistic, I think the bad guys have won. A confused sheep is a good sheep.
