Why do you reject scientific consensus in favor of the views of a minority of scientists and/or medical professionals? Because the latter set feeds your pre-conclusions? That’s called “confirmation bias.”
Why do you shit all over the scientific method and support squashing debate within the scientific community with mass censorship? I'm the only one that is actually defending the scientific process here. You are telling people to stop asking questions. Other people are cheerleading for censorship and shutting down and censoring scientists that disagree with them. It's gross, and this pandemic has caused you to betray your former principles. You now worship the priest class, and you are suffering from mass formation psychosis.
Consensus science by intense coercion and censorship
And like I've already posted, scientific consensus with hindsight means a hell of a lot more than scientific consensus in a rapidly developing situation. They are not the same thing at all. How can you try to act like they are? Galileo went against the consensus too, and you are supporting the shutting down of scientists and scientific debate. It's shameful that you've thrown all of your principles under the bus, because some people are getting sick with covid. I will stick to my principles, regardless.

Yawn. Gallileo didn't have a problem with scientists but with Church/ religion.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

About our Galileo here. There is a famous book called "Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science" by Martin Gardner, published in 1952 that is about pseudo-science and the mechanism of how it swindles people. You could say that James Randi's "Flim-Flam" is a "spiritual" successor to it.
Here is an excerpt on the traits of your average crank:
Quote:He likens himself to Bruno, Galileo, Copernicus who were unjustly persecuted for their heresies. If he has had no formal training in the field in which he works, he will attribute this persecution to a scientific masonry, unwilling to admit into its inner sanctums anyone who has not gone through the proper initiation rituals. He repeatedly calls your attention to important scientific discoveries made by laymen.
Sound familiar?

Research to learn new things is a virtue. Research to delay you having to acknowledge your wrong is a vice. The research itself is not a virtue.

You wouldn’t know the scientific method if it bit you in the ass, ya looney.
Anyway, you sound triggered. Try not to get hysterical; it’s not a good look for you manly men. Or so you say.
