@GODSAVEDME007@GuntherEagleman So you believe that only formally educated people can be intelligent? Interesting.
And I would have thought that an undergrad logic class would have helped you identify the faulty reasoning in your statement. But sure: I did one week of kindergarten before dropping out. π
@HonestAlways2@Sassafrass_84 Because everyone appreciates a joke about a pandemic in which millions are dying.
You know - like Rand Paul just loves jokes by Dr. Fauci.
@Halleran_MD@tracyeckert And, while you're at it, why trust bridges, unless you are an engineer who has examined their plans and inspected the structures? And my GOD, don't EVER get in a plane or elevator!
@shgarhen@jackunheard@salis333 You have to trust someone b/c not all of us have the time to check the engineering of all the bridges we cross or the correct settings for our laser surgery or whether Jupiter exists.
So, if you don't trust scientists, how do you trust these things? And who do you trust & why?
@jackunheard Because I'm alive and two unvaccinated people I know are dead of COVID, and one who got it before the shot was available has long COVID.
In other words, because I value human life.
@HankDesmondPhD An search in an academic library doesn't bring up anything for "Desmond and logic." Please post your CV so we all can ascertain the accuracy of your judgment.
(And I'm not sure your god approves of your estimate on human life valuation, but that's a separate topic.)
@GODSAVEDME007@GuntherEagleman Another sophisticated riposte! I'm sure your vocabulary will expand once you get out of middle school, so good luck with your education.
