@RnaudBertrand@CelestinEiffel My adult English speaking children visited China recently for 3 weeks. Apps and friendly curious people helped with the language barriers. They really loved it and want to go back again to discover moreβ¦
@simonmaechling The conspiracy theory assumes that when businesses can make huge profits selling you drugs, your health may not be a priority.
OxyContin is a perfect example.
@SwipeWright I also had a severe AE to my second Moderna shot. When I (rarely) mention this, I am confronted with awkward silence. The propaganda round this vaccine seems to have robbed people of their natural curiosity. Please note, I have worked on vaccine development in the past.
@simonmaechling A beautiful example of someone showing they are clueless while preaching to others. Read some research ffs. There is plenty of quality work demonstrating the malign influence of industry sponsorship. Here is one for starters

@SHomburg Of course you do not mention Gaza.
The world is truly disgusted that Germany continues to arm and support the genocidal ethno-state.
Only Germany could try to make a virtue out of that.
@simonmaechling Online influencers could never have given us the OxyContin disaster that has devastated the lives of millions. The companies and their regulatory lackeys had the data, and understood it, but chose profit over our welfare.
This is the system this corporate influencer supports
@ScottAppliedSci@Tellit007 Beware of βmessage disciplineβ in scientific debate. Form over substance fails nearly every time. I have seen this throughout my career. Innovation and nuance rarely comes neatly packaged; empty sales pitches almost always do.
@simonmaechling Trust me bro, says the guy working for a multinational national corporation whose primary motive is profit. Anyone who tries to convince you such corporate culture is always working primarily for your benefit is stupid, evil, or both.
@simonmaechling Being a real scientist is a fantastic career. I would recommend it without hesitation.
Being trained as a scientist and becoming a well paid βscience influencerβ for a multinational corporation, and then constantly complaining might suggest a poor career choice.
@simonmaechling No, but the economics that drive scientific and technology development is driven by people picking the answers they prefer. This brings us disasters like OxyContin in which industry, regulators and clinic practitioners picked the answers they preferred over the common good
@simonmaechling In which language does conspiracy thinking mean rejecting every answer you donβt like? Conspiracy thinking can be logical and sound when confronted with real conspiracies.
