RFK Jr ;

CUT Ebola research. Now theres a huge outbreak

SCRAPPED the unit dealing with cruise ship outbreaks. Then Hantavirus happened

DISSOLVED the CDC dept for Parasitic Disease. Now there's a huge outbreak of cyclospora - parasite that causes diarrhea.

He's a menace

This is what anti-vaxxers say.

Anecdotes aren’t evidence.

If we were going by “looking around” I’m not seeing any of this.

Neither is my wife who is a doctor at multiple hospitals.

I never said Covid isn’t bad. I just stated there is no evidence it’s causing dementia in kids (and the evidence for adults is weak.)

Dowsing "works" by the ideomotor effect—tiny motions of the arms & hands move the rods beneath perception.
Movements are random or directed by thought.
"Hits" are accidental.
Confirmation bias: remember hits, forget misses.
Under controlled conditions—dowser is blind to where buckets of water are hidden under opaque boxes that also include no water boxes—no one has EVER found water better than chance.
Ditto Ouija board.

@drmarkhyman Such BULLSHIT. Another worthless statistically manipulated study that relied on people's food logs. What a joke. They claim they found "associations."

Folks, enjoy your Skippy peanut butter and protein shakes! Tune these idiots out.

No, @ProfAviLoeb, it means that they can’t tell what some things are. Because they lack information. UFOs exist in the LIZ, the Low Information Zone.

Suggesting a lack of information means they think it might be aliens is just silly.

[Michael Shermer @michaelshermer]

“Both Steven Pinker and Michael Shermer reveal that they have no idea how to read the Bible. First, they fail to make the elementary distinction that not everything that is in the Bible is what the Bible teaches [...] It is a commonplace of Biblical interpretation that there are elements in Scripture that reflect cultural practices of the time but are not the stuff of revelation.”

Yes, exactly! These are stories for Iron-Age herders and farmers, not for us. That's the point @sapinker and I are making. No one today gets their morality from the Bible, and that's a good thing!

The whole reason I entered science was to understand life. Instead - every discovery and step forward leaves me even more amazed by how beautiful and how utterly complex our existence really is.

[Michael Shermer @michaelshermer]

How could a lowlife nobody like Manson have persuaded women in his cult to commit brutal murders simply on his command?
Was it MKULTRA?
Maybe, but more likely:
Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll with runaways looking for something to do to please their cult leader.
Not uncommon.

@ArkEncounter You are highlighting one of the many reasons why the Bible simply cannot be trusted as a reliable document on much at all.
Japan is on the globe.
It did not experience the global flood at the time the Bible suggests it happened.
Or any other time.

The Morality of the Bible
(From The Moral Arc)

The Bible is one of the most immoral works in all literature. Woven throughout begats and chronicles, laws and customs, is a narrative of accounts written by, and about, a bunch of Middle Eastern tribal warlords who constantly fight over land and women, with the victors taking dominion over both.

It features a jealous and vengeful God named Yahweh who decides to punish women for all eternity with the often intolerable pain of childbirth, and further condemns them to be little more than beasts of burden and sex slaves for the victorious warlords.

Why were women to be chastened this way? Why did they deserve an eternity of misery and submission? It was all for that one terrible sin, the first crime ever recorded in the history of humanity—a thought crime no less—when that audacious autodidact Eve dared to educate herself by partaking of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Worse she inveigled the first man—the unsuspecting Adam—to join her in choosing knowledge over ignorance. For the appalling crime of hearkening unto the voice of his wife, Yahweh condemned Adam to toil in thorn and thistle-infested fields, and further condemned him to death, to return to the dust from whence he came.

Yahweh then cast his first two delinquent children out of paradise, setting a Cherubim and a flaming sword at the entrance to be certain that they could never return. Then, in one of the many foul moods he was wont to fall into, Yahweh committed an epic hemoclysm of genocidal proportions by killing every sentient being on Earth—including unsuspecting adults, innocent children, and all the land animals—in a massive flood.

In order to repopulate the planet after he decimated it of all life save those spared in the ark, Yahweh commanded the survivors—numerous times—to “be fruitful and multiply,” and rewarded his favorite warlords with as many wives as they desired. Thus was born the practice of polygamy and the keeping of harems, fully embraced and endorsed—along with slavery—in the so-called “good book.”

As an exercise in moral casuistry, this perspective-taking question comes to mind: did anyone ask the women how they felt about this arrangement? What about the millions of people living in other parts of the world who had never heard of Yahweh? What about the animals and the innocent children who drowned in the flood? What did they do to deserve such a final solution to Yahweh’s anger problem?

This Is Night On Mars. 140 million miles away. No cities, no light pollution, no one.

Just you and a billion stars that have never been looked at like this.

This is a study from Scotland

2.3% of babies born to COVID-vaccinated mothers had birth defects!

Guess what the rate in UNvaccinated mothers was?

Wait for it....wait for it....wait for it........

2.3%!!

[Michael Shermer @michaelshermer]

90-95% of UAP sightings are explained by:
Ordinary Terrestrial (balloons, satellites, birds, etc.)
2 other options:
Extraordinary Terrestrial (Russian, DARPA)
Extraordinary Extraterrestrial (aliens)
UFO Files are suggestive of these 2, but not definitive. Let's get to the bottom of this mystery if we can.

@owenthcarey Someone could spend their life being a murderer and rapist then accept Jesus at the end of their life and go to heaven. But someone who lives a good life and gives back to their community and loves their family, but is a non Christian, goes to hell. Christianity isn’t moral.

[Michael Shermer @michaelshermer]

Re eyewitness testimony, credentials/experience of observers seem to matter, yet as pilot/astronaut Scott Kelly explains in response to the UAP videos Go Fast, Tic-Tac, etc. at a NASA press conference, referencing his pilot/astronaut/Senator twin (screen shot from Truth chapter):

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Nope not true

All vaccines (or any medical intervention for that matter) have risks and benefit

If benefit outweighs risk - we use it

If risk outweighs benefit - well don't

Its not that complicated

[Michael Shermer @michaelshermer]

Neither @realstevenslate Options:

1. Grusch's stories are true—aliens are here.
2. Grusch is lying.
3. Grusch is repeating lies by insiders.
4. Insiders are honestly mistaken about what they think they saw & Grusch is honestly reporting their stories.

I strongly suspect #4.
