[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was no science when the pandemic hit. The scientists were working off data from SARS and MERS, which were in the same family but never at a global scale of impact. We did lockdowns so that hospital wouldn’t get overwhelmed. I feel like a lot of conservative are making calls in hindsight with known data, which wasn’t available information in the Spring/summer of 2020. So yes looking back, they could have possibly changed a few actions, like having kids return in the fall of 2020 to schools.[/quote]

That only explains the first couple of weeks of lockdowns, and not the behavior months and years afterwards.  It doesn’t explain the very specific facts I mentioned about the lack of a scientific basis for example for extended school closures, distancing, mandated child vaccinations and cloth masking.  The entire time those decisions were coming down, we had evidence out of European countries (that were managing things differently) that was discarded.  [/quote]

For all of the leftist worship of European socialism, they are remarkably good at frantically silencing the hard, solid science that comes out of those countries. They did it in the pandemic with respect to evidence concerning school closures and distancing, and they’re doing it now with respect to medicalized gender transition for children. It’s almost as if they want the socialist dream and propaganda without the accompanying state-sponsored science. [/quote]

Poor baby. Try to get over your anger. What’s happened is over. We can’t go back in time and change it. The pandemic is over; move on.[/quote]

Shrug.

“Believe science. Oh wait. Not [i]that[/i] science. We don’t like [i]that[/i] science.”

That’s fine if you want, but don’t expect people not to see through you.

Sorry hon, YOU are the one disregarding 98% of the science while cherrypicking the tiny handful of items that you think somehow give credence to your broken anti-vaxxer, anti-mask beliefs.[/quote]

I’m not an anti-vaxxer and I believe N-95 masks are effective if worn correctly on adults. I do not believe mask mandates are effective at preventing disease spread, because that isn’t well-supported by studies.

Where I differ from you is that I do not reject science that isn’t politically expedient. I am not rejecting the overwhelming science outside of the US showing [b]the failure of medicalized gender transition[/b], unlike the US left, for instance.

You sound weaker and weaker every time you post. [/quote]

Weakness us moving the goalposts by changing the subject - we were talking about covid.[/quote]

Actually, no. PPs have been making the point about the science of medicalized gender transition for children (and how the left is ignoring the science) for many posts in this thread, as well as Covid. There are several posts talking about both. You only respond to the Covid posts, because the lack of evidentiary support for medicalized transition for children is so overwhelming, even you know you can’t defend it. But the discussion has been present in this thread from the start, from multiple PPs.

But since we are here: tell me how Democrats and leftists in the US are embracing the science coming out from around the world about the lack of medical support for youth gender transition. Show me those rigorous investigations, the Congressional hearings about that lack of evidence put forth by Democrats. Where are the blue state politicians that have championed rolling back the laws they passed to permit kids to get gender affirming medical treatment without parental permission? [/quote]
