Another one: vaccines. I'm not opposed to the vaccines, but I am opposed to the intellectually dishonest way this pandemic has been handled.
1) Most obviously, these lockdowns all violate the first amendment, period.
2) The CDC changed the definition of "pandemic" to accommodate the political catastrophizing and fear mongering that led to the current lockdowns.
3) They also changed the definition of "herd immunity" to literally the opposite of what the original definition was (enough of the herd are exposed to a virus to develop antibodies which, in turn, protect the rest of the herd. why would a herd even have "herd immunity", if it required artificial technology like a vaccine?)
4) It's one thing to change your opinion based on thorough scientific evidence. This is called good science and open mindedness and should be encouraged. What is not good science is conducting a series of studies, then changing your mind every time a new study finishes and expecting the rest of the public to follow suit. Good science doesn't just mean clear data, it means clearly replicable data. If you keep conducting studies and getting different results, the intellectually honest thing to do is to admit that you don't have the answer yet, not to demand that your suggestions be followed under pain of prosecution.
5) Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson all claim to have done extensive studies guaranteeing the vaccine would be safe from long term detrimental effects....via studies that took under a year to complete.
6) How about some other recommendations for boosting immunity? Probiotics, weight lifting, green tea/other antioxidants, Vitamin D, Zinc, avoiding sugar? The goal is to prevent people from getting sick right? Where are all the other sensible recommendations which could help them do so?
7) .....really? It took a friggin college study to tell you that children were more likely to become obese when we don't let them play outside? Sometimes they make it difficult to give them even the slightest benefit of the doubt.
8) Cell phone chargers were considered an essential item during the lockdowns, while baby formula was not.
Again, I'm not asking any of you to become anti-vaccine, subscribe to Alex Jones or join Q, but the CDC and WHO need to be held accountable for the intellectually dishonest, bad faith means by which they forced the entire country to shut down. You can be socially responsible and demand government accountability. You don't have to choose one or the other.
