We live in times where nearly everything is politicised unfortunately, including science it seems.
Whether you like it or not, the messenger is crucial. If you keep presenting articles from biased websites then you will keep getting canned for it.
You are getting your information from a site that is anti-vax and asking us all to prove you're wrong.
And how lame is it to start a poll about the vaccine with the opening post being an anti-vax article. A poll, almost by definition, should be unbiased. As someone who used to design and run polls, I find this appalling. Almost the definition of trolling.
Sorry, I just don't see it.
context is everything. you really gonna make me waste my time rehashing this.
microbman was saying that the site i took Engdals article from is disreputable, hence it can be ignored as misinformation.
my answer to this point was that if you want to judge a mans writing by the site he is on, then Microbmans own writings here on microbs, would be considered as being on a disreputable site too by 99% of scientists in the world. that was my point. remember i said if.
Trouble is, I did not say that. As I already pointed out, you must be confusing me with another member.

This is the closest I came to saying what you have stated and I was speaking strictly about the article posted. No where did I say anything about the site that the article came from being disreputable, however others did. In retrospect, I should not have even used the word 'site'; 'link' was the better word.
why the fuck are we still surging when we have all been wearing masks, closing shops working at home, limiting meetings to 5 people with distancing and masks. because covid shits on your mask and laughs its head off at how foolish we look wondering around the streets wearing them. roflmao.
okay, sounds like we all be good to go, after all, what could possibly go wrong?
you are playing word games here while ignoring the core. whether you said disreputable or full of misinformation the point remains.

Israel has vaccinated 12 % of the population.
No Palestinians have been vaccinated as of yet.
Anticipate having a quarter of their population
vaccinated by the end of the month, they use
the Pfizer product.
I would question the accuracy of the statement “we have all been wearing masks”.
Taiwan is an example that actually has, and until ten days ago hadn’t had a locally transmitted case in 254 days, 7 deaths total from covid.
It’s not rocket science, they did it without vaccines. It was actually enforced, with adequate testing. Testing and contact tracing are seriously lacking along with a uniform response from both the public and public officials.
Didn’t Switzerland take the herd immunity option at first and only recently start the mask fad?
