OBEY!

Do not doubt the "experts" that DESTROY every part of your life, for a disease that kills less than a flu.

And don't listen to the REAL experts that tell that these fake experts are wrong.

Good call. That's the long and the short of it.

GP doctors don't do their own research any more.

They have been dumbed down every bit as much as the average person. It's easier to sell to uninformed customers.

The majority of their job is checking the symptoms software for a medicine to prescribe, and e-mailing the pharmacy a script.

They know absolutely nothing about vaccinations. This is no accident.

Ask them for a vaccine VIS that they're obligated to provide with each vaccine (or look it up on your phone).

Read the VIS to them line by line. You will blow their mind.

Here's a sample excerpt from the DTaP (first on the list).

  1. Risks of a vaccine reaction

• Soreness or swelling where the shot was given, fever, fussiness, feeling tired, loss of appetite, and vomiting sometimes happen after DTaP vaccination.
• More serious reactions, such as seizures, non-stop crying for 3 hours or more, or high fever (over 105°F) after DTaP vaccination happen much less often. Rarely, the vaccine is followed by swelling of the entire arm or leg, especially in older children when they receive their fourth or fifth dose.
• Very rarely, long-term seizures, coma, lowered consciousness, or permanent brain damage may happen after DTaP vaccination.

As with any medicine, there is a very remote chance of a vaccine causing a severe allergic reaction, other serious injury, or death.

I asked my family who are working in the medical field, if they knew how vaccines were made.
I was just curious and wanted to compare with what I had learned.
They knew nothing and were not even interested to learn about it.

They are afraid of what them may learn.

Some of my family members practice medicine. I am a merciless jackhammer of truth.

The reason is simple: most of us, even those of us who are scientists ourselves, lack the relevant scientific expertise needed to adequately evaluate that research on our own.

And yet I managed to get the point where I could disprove a PhDs published work as an undergrad just by reading crap on the internet. Not even my own subject.

The ability to understand science is transferable between fields. Thus is a frighteningly stupid piece from Forbes.

If you want to help the public do research teach them the difference between good and bad sources, selection bias and basic statistics.

I have seen so much errors in science papers, that I regard most science papers as mostly false. In the area of health and medicine there is an additional factor of money that drives many scientists towards corruption.

The extremely bad science that tries to downplay HCQ is a good example of such corruption. Even someone with no education at all, can tell what is wrong, after overdosing people or using data from non-existing hospitals. And both were used for major political decisions!

Even in hard sciences, like physics, I can point out many errors already. But a lot of the errors are kept, because they explained some of the observations. It is the same logic as a standing clock id correct, because it tells the right time twice a day.

Appeal to authority is like "Experts in Astrology claim that Astrology works and is useful for decisions in your life".
If you disagree with that, you are not an Expert who studied 10 years in Astrology!

Modern "doctors" are trained to be just Pharmaceutical Dispensing Technicians. They haven't been science-users and science-based thinkers for decades. Add that to being as a whole a very authoritarian group... I always wonder when people say things like, "Well, I wanted to try doing XYZ but my doctor won't let me", as if they were a cow and the doctor the farmer.
