[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, you lost that pro science argument when the left went berserk during covid.[/quote]

Covid killed more than a million Americans including members of my family. You think the status quo was called for during an extreme health crisis like that? Do you disrespect health care workers that much? Wow.[/quote]

The decisions made during COVID by the left were indefensible from both scientific and moral standards. From shutting down the lab leak theory to the unscientific six foot distancing rule, to the closing of outdoor playgrounds and masking of two year olds, the destructive and useless extended school closures, unwillingness to acknowledge that cloth masks were not protective, to the forced admission of COVID positive patients into nursing homes, the mistakes and disregard of science go on and on.

NP. I used to think of the left as the pro-science political faction. I truly believed that the Democrats respected science, unlike the Republicans. Then came two seminal events: Covid and gender ideology. PP accurately laid out the Covid shibboleths pushed by the left even in the face of grave and mounting evidence of the lack of scientific support. For gender ideology, the left adopted a faith-based, deeply religious ideology and medicalized it into the care of some of most vulnerable people in the country. What the left has done in the name of gender ideology in particular to some of the most vulnerable children out there is going to be recognized as a profound scandal in 50 years. Actually, the evidence of harm is already there, but in keeping with the antiscience bent of the current left, politicians on the left are desperately scrambling to prevent that discussion.

Now I don’t believe either party is the pro-science and pro-truth party. Not the Democrats, certainly not the Republicans. They are all just selling a belief system that’s designed to keep their grift going. Science and truth are irrelevant to both of them. [/quote]

I don’t know how you can +1 the pp while writing that last paragraph. You are clearly supporting the exact kind of partisan BS that you claim to be against.[/quote]

That is utterly ridiculous. It is explicitly anti-partisan to point out that both sides lie heavily, which is in contrast to OP. You must be the kind of Republican that OP is talking about, the kind that believes every lie put forth by the party because the party told them to believe it. [/quote]
