    “We’re going to put our full trust in science that can’t be questioned?”

    You can absolutely question science, Aaron. Doing science is the act of questioning science. However, you actually have to follow the scientific method to do it, and so far Aaron, you’re not.

    If you ever want to get out of the practice of bullshit and into the practice of science, you’d be quite welcome, but its got to be science with rigor and reproducible results. Until then, you’re just talking, not scientifically questioning.

      “Can’t be questioned,” says moron questioning it.

      These people’s issue is that they only see one form of authority. Fauci cannot be a respected figure because of his career contributions - he’s just the guy in power, so he gets to decide what’s real, the way you decide what’s for dinner. People in this tribalist mindset think “questioning” means equal validity for whatever alternative bullshit they prefer. If you can’t freely choose between sources of authority, why, that’s dictatorship!
