Its only "science" when it provides confirmation bias for their cult like beliefs. See: climate "science" for same effect...

Your statement is very accurate, and confirmation bias is pervasive in modern research of all fields including, biological sciences, social sciences, climate science, etc.

What academia has implemented due to government and outside funding is designing studies with the intent to prove the hypothesis instead of trying to disprove the hypothesis. That is, they setup studies in order to help them succeed. Honest researchers applying the scientific method appropriately design their studies trying to make the hypothesis fail. The reason being, you only have to disprove something once for it to be untrue. For instance, if someone makes the statement all swans are white, they can count as many white swans as they want, millions even, it doesn't matter. However, they only need to find 1 black swan to demonstrate that the statement "all swans are white" is false.

Sweden is our black swan which is why they don't want to talk about it.

Researchers try to explain this away by using terms like "paradox". Essentially, we cannot reject our hypothesis because our funding will get cut so this is some unexplainable outlier event that has some other reason for existing that is not yet accurately defined, but if we did define it, then it would conform to our hypothesis...so we'll just ignore it for now. If you're familiar with cholesterol, you've probably heard of the French paradox; which is that high cholesterol causes heart disease, except in France, where it doesn't. This statement is also easily disproven by observing instances in which heart disease is present in people with low cholesterol levels, which happens frequently. Therefore, I cannot make the statement high cholesterol is the cause of heart disease otherwise people with low cholesterol would never develop CVD. Although that doesn't stop us from doing so because we have a drug that can inhibit the production of cholesterol in the body, and we can prescribe it to everyone for the majority of their life....Not to be taken out of context as I don't want to get into the nuances of the pathophysiology of CVD, put simply, high cholesterol is a data point to consider in a clinical evaluation, and not an automatic manifestation of disease that requires treatment. The point is I cannot say it is the "cause" of heart disease as there are too many observable black swans to the contrary. Just like I cannot say lockdowns and masks prevent excess mortality from COVID, as I can look at Sweden and observe an outcome similar if not better than our own without utilizing those measures.

Not to mention the science of two biological sexes 😐

People DO NOT LISTEN to anything opposing their viewpoints. You have to hide redpills in liberal shit, one example being the John Oliver video on election fraud/hacking. Try to build off of their current beliefs to create new redpilled beliefs. Tricky process, but it is possible with time :)

Very well said. So, we have to use their lies as a foundation to build the truth.

can confirm, show or tell people about Fauci's 90's paper on how many people were killed as a result of wearing masks during the Spanish flu

it is Fauci so it is the approved political science

Not even worth it IMO they’re lost causes in my book.

I know what it takes to go from brainwashed to “climate denier” and these people can’t hack it.

Hello fellow Cali pede (basing only on your username). Yup, I have CA friends like that too, although at this point I have kind of drifted away from them because I don't want them bringing up politics (they are always the initiator and expect me to nod as they talk). I have easier folk to try to redpill.

Yeah, they don't take kindly to the tone of that video, because they feel the virus should be treated seriously... Not sure why they can't weigh the 99.99x% survival rate (which is also science) in relation to the tyranny (economic and otherwise) that's being imposed.

One of my friends is a biology PhD and is pretty elitist about it, very anti-white, and constantly feels 'oppressed'. Very analytical in most everything (e.g., finances, biology, etc.), but for some reason only uses Vox, NBC, etc. as news sources and hates Fox. But aren't analytical in the slightest regarding media lies that just seem so blatant and obvious. Very "moral" and "by any means necessary because we are morally righteous". Oh, and of course, this friend has a job that is relatively unaffected by the shutdown.

I might be in an echo chamber of my own by refusing certain sources, but I'm not the one attacking people outside of my chamber. I just don't understand their thought process. I'd just worry about them later, at least not until after the election has been resolved. Stay strong!

God and science are on our side. Things will get better ☺️. People laughed at me because I don't like being told what to do. I wonder what they think now.

I literally had a conversation with a friend who is so brainwashed it went like this...

https://thedonald.win/p/11QRtf8qDG/fried-npc-brains/c/

He laughed at the logical fallacy but still chose to appeal to authority.

Great study: https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/18/major-study-finds-masks-dont-reduce-covid-19-infection-rates/

If they like appeal to authority arguments, then here you go: https://banned.video/watch?id=5fb94fcdd4cd4b442fcb11b2

A very informative video from another expert: https://banned.video/watch?id=5f9f56fcf2aba40f0a83d61d

Those things aside, I too am an ICU nurse and researcher. The masks do more harm than good! EVERYTHING we have done is aimed at reducing the spread of droplets, but Covid is AIRBORNE! Droplets do contain Covid, but it aerosolizes off of those droplets. The virus is so small that it then goes right through all the cloth masks people are wearing. All those droplets build up in our masks over time (protected from sunlight) and create a super fucking concentrated mass of pathogens that we are not only inhaling constantly, but blowing right through and around all these shitty masks like walking industrial pathogen factories. Covid then travels in the air at least 30 feet (6 foot social distancing is fucking pointless) and goes right around all the stupid damn plexiglass dividers people have put up (because it is AIRBORNE). There is a reason we keep patients with Covid in negative pressure rooms FFS! It absolutely disgusts me to my core that politics has destroyed science! It pisses me off to no end that all truth gets censored, and all ability to discuss evidence and have a free exchange of ideas is fucking gone! The tyranny and brainwashing is overwhelming!

Dude, if I can call you dude. The fricken radio station was playing this ominous covid commercial. It sounded like a hate trump thing at first but it got even darker and never even got political. Just went into this wear the mask, stay home crap. They are trying to scare shame everyone into doing this. I am supposed to be in a hot zone where it is worse than anywhere else. People wear masks but no one is staying home.

This was a conservative talk radio station. I was like wtf? But hey be sure to get in on the Black Friday sales.

My Parents are liberals. Already cancelled Thanksgiving and Christmas on us. They went into lockdown and we are not allowed to visit. That was a week ago and I still haven't replied because I don't know what to say. They think I'm nuts. I know I'm nuts, but it doesn't make me wrong.

I process it like this. The USA has 350,000,000 people living in it approximately.

Now correct me if my numbers are wrong but about 12,000,000 have gotten covid allegedly. And 250,000 deaths have occurred where covid was present. Only about 6,000 pure covid deaths.

Again correct me if I am wrong but 12 million people is about 4% of the population and of that 4%, 99% of them survive.

Follow the money and see who profits from covid.......answer.......always the same people. It seems to be the answer to everything.

Dont start with your friends but try these few tips. Shame - accuse people of being uninformed. Insinuate they were told their opinion and never arrived at it by themselves. Ridicule - when you have the high ground make sure to rub it in. "Canada said it only has 6 cases of flu this year. They think your stupid" Demoralize - Qui bono? Ask where the money went. Did that money change the world or line someones pockets? People dont want to be drone robots, even leftists. Shame will make them analyze their motives. People dont want to look stupid. They will often refrain from appearing even stupider if given the chance. Ridicule. People understand how backroom politics is played. Point out hypocrisy and bureaucracy. Let the left eat its own.

Yeah, it's would be funny seeing people devolve into superstitious nonsense, if it didn't come with suicides and job losses.

Unbelievable how gullible some people are. It is hard for me to understand it. But then, I have a lifelong, healthy distrust of everything which has served me well.

I've had so many convos like this where I just end up telling the person, "you know, if my opinions on things constantly ended with me defending suspected pedophiles, globalists, and basically the fucking Star Wars empire, I'd probably start to register that my opinions are wrong. I guess not with you tho."

Hate to say it, but if your close friends are dipshits... well op there’s hope for you I guess. You’re here at least.

But seriously. Drop em like a hot potatoe. Y’all’s interests in what’s best for each other clearly aren’t aligned.

Covid is noise. Fraud is signal. Ignore the fucktards, unless you can socratize them with a pointed question like, "flu rates are way down. I wonder why?" Followed by, "Well if masks and lockdowns work, how come COVid Numbers are up?"

Otherwise, stay focused on the fraud. It's the foundation COVID was built on.

Also, dont wait for their answer to question 2. Just say, "Huh," and walk away. That's all the oxygen you should waste on these imbeciles.
