Bill de Blasio provides an amazing case study in a personality type that exemplifies so much

I'm still not sure if it's more rank stupidity or pure evil, but I'm sure it's a combination of both. I listen to him talk about "vaccines"^tm , and I am shocked by the complete ignorance (combined with actively ignoring, not the same thing) of the actual effects these shots are having. I'm confident his thought process is the same species of thought used during the height of the power of the Catholic Church centuries ago. It basically goes as follows: "Here is a complex question. Because my friends and I have power and are educated in the elite schools, we have the answer to this question. Any other answers must be wrong because they don't have the benefit of our education and wisdom." In other words, consensus among the rich and powerful defines truth.

In the case of the Catholic Church, we discovered that God didn't accept that consensus, and so the Church was demonstrated to be fallible. Now we are discovering that the elites using "Science!"^tm are equally out of touch with the reality they claim to be representing. Unfortunately, the reality their ignorance is creating is growing more deadly with every moment we continue down this path.

Fred Hiatt is dead. Which one is going to be the death that shocks them into thinking, "Wait a second...?"
