The stupidity of not getting vaxxed for non-legit reasons

who is in charge of determining if a reason is legit or not? you?

No one is "in charge" of determining that since no one is asking anyone to provide their reasoning.

Massive randomized study is proof that surgical masks limit coronavirus spread, authors say

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/20 ... reddit.com

“This is an incredibly challenging but important study to pull off,” said Megan L. Ranney, an emergency medicine physician and professor at Brown University who was not involved with this research. “Anti-mask people keep saying, ‘Where’s the randomized controlled trial?’ Well, here you go.”

“It’s not just modeling or looking back at studies,” said Lawrence Gostin, faculty director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, who also was not involved. “This is the gold standard of scientific knowledge.”

...

This study contains a trio of key observations, Ranney said: One, it offers even more evidence that masks work to shield the wearer and the community. Because the research team was only able to document cases in which people were symptomatic and were seropositive for the virus, Ranney agreed that results may be an underestimate.

“To me this is the minimum effect of mask-wearing in a community,” she said. “I would expect the real effect of masks is much higher, given the limitations of how they were able to measure covid in this study.”

Well, with new information and a new variant of the VIRUS, he's now telling everyone to wear a mask again.

[MICHHAWK]

i'm vaxxed. i don't wear a mask. i don't even own one anymore.

[PhDhawk]

so, you were lying. I get it. cute.

Off topic slightly, but when did getting new information and then changing your mind about something become a bad thing?

Being a flip flopper is a bad thing, but, isn't being right MORE important. Isn't being able to evaluate new information accurately, and then having the flexibility to adjust a GOOD thing?

Or does everyone know that the above is true and this is just more, siderism rhetoric, and a devise to own the other side?

This on the heels of MLB Network announcing the Al Leiter and John Smoltz would not be allowed in studio for refusing the Vax...

[MICHHAWK]

There’s some quote out there that goes something like, “science is science. It doesn’t change cuz of faith, or freedom, or politics. It doesn’t change cuz of differing opinions, or of gut instinct, or of agreeing to disagree. The only thing that changes science is better science.”

I wish I could find it cuz I might be butchering it. But think I got the jist

[ousdahl]

Oh, I also think there’s a line about how science isn’t bad science cuz it’s since been changed by better science, or something

[MICHHAWK]

There’s another quote yet that reads something like, “a flute with no holes is not a flute, but a donut with no hole is a danish.”

wait, don’t think I’m getting half the jist of that one

Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

MLK was nuttin but a know-it-all

My favorite will always be: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
