Which bought and sold scientists should we listen to?
The ones working for drug companies
The ones who’s grant money is predicated on the whims of a woke-critical race theory following dean who got the job because they were black
The ones working for lobbyists
The ones working for the solar and wind industries
Which ones?
Merkel is chancellor of Germany and a physicist.
For the US? This election season we had the chance of Mark Kelly (astronaut) Nancy Goroff (bio chemist) Adam Hattersley (aerospace engineer) and more. There are always scientists running.
Honestly it's hilarious that you talk about conflict of interest when you sit here supporting a failed businessman who has not paid his taxes for half of the last two decades.
Scientists understand the importance of science. Hence why Germany didn't really have a problem with COVID and we did. They were out partying without worrying about lockdowns, masks, or getting sick. They didn't have an influx of deaths. Their hospitals didn't fill up. They did fine and are doing fine.
That's the power of science.
Lack of science and you get the black plague which lasted for 200-300 years. People wouldn't social distance back then either. There was actually a tendency to start partying and drinking once people in your town got sick, because you knew you were fucked and they didn't think there was any way to stop disease. Now we know better.
According to Trump last night, 2.2 million MORE americans would've been dead from COVID if Trump hadn't closed China when he did. In which case, this disease is VERY serious and masks and social distancing are really important considering he's saying that enough Americans to fill Houston would've died from it in one year.
But sure. "Plandemic".
