From the anti-vaxxers to flat earthers: what makes people distrust science?

[Two Wings]

I forget English is not your primary language.

Definition of unbelievable
of such a superlative degree as to be hard to believe

the destruction was unbelievablemade an unbelievable catch in center field

I hope that addresses your concern as well, @Two Wings . I used a synonym for "hard to believe". I was not altering the meaning, but also was not quoting you.

OK.

Seems a little slippery when wet.

... that means ... seems like a dodge, fortunate in finding a reference equating a term and a phrase. While that may be true, it’s imprecise. clearly “hard to believe” isn’t literally “unbelievable” nor vv.

and in that post you’d presumed for another ... so either challenging outright based upon your own understanding of the topic or just being a jack wagon.

So it wasn’t clear to me you were seeking to use the same meaning in degree as further presuming the degree in your strawman.

"Hard to believe" literally means "unbelievable" as "unbelievable" literally means "hard to believe". That said, I understand "unbelievable" can also means "too improbable for belief".

But I was restating what you said without using your exact words. Glad I could help clear that up.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen presents the Atlantic Council Distinguished Business Leadership Award to Pfizer Chair and CEO Albert Bourla on November 10, 2021.

Pfizer CEO; mRNA “Gene Editing” Vaccines Can “Cure” People Born with “Mistake in their DNA

“Guess who’s exempt from all requirements and mandates to get the COVID-19 “vaccine”? The following people are totally exempt: all US Senators and House Representatives plus all Congressional staff; 6,000 White House employees; all employees of Pfizer (2,500), Moderna (1,500), and Johnson & Johnson (120,000); 15,000 CDC workers; and 14,000 FDA employees.”An Urgent Warning To America and the Free World (What’s left of it)

“Once the herd accepts mandatory vaccinations, It’s GAME OVER. They will accept anything – Forcible blood or organ donation – “For the greater good”. We can genetically modify children and sterilize them – “For the greater good”. Control sheep minds and you control the herd. Vaccine makers stand to make billions. And many of you in this room are investors. It’s a BIG win/win. We thin out the herd, and the herd pays us for extermination services” Henry Kissinger in Kissinger, Eugenics and Depopulation

Ok, I have a sincere and honest question for @JonC and anyone else who trumpets the "trust the science" mantra. Do you subscribe to macro evolution?

Fact Check-White House, CDC, FDA, NIAID, Pfizer and Moderna employees are subject to vaccine mandates

“This is partly false.”

lol

is that like being a little bit pregnant?

I think they mean there is some truth in the mix and some false claims.

Yeah, just like the burn, loot, & destroy protestors are mostly peaceful, & the black guy who just massacred people was just a victim of a car accident. Not only are congress exempt but their families were receiving Ivermectin when others could not get it…..even when they were in the hospital. Most of the msm is nothing but propaganda, aka false claims & that would include fact checking Reuters.

 

[KenH]

. Not only are congress exempt

The executive branch has no authority over the legislative branch.

And the same thing is said by other folks about your new sources.

The left-wingers and the right-wingers are pretty much doing nothing but blathering back and forth at each other. The founding fathers warned over 200 years ago about what would happen if the people divided themselves up into factions/parties - and they are being proven correct.

The “claims” are that these entities do not have mandatory cv vax policies/rules/whatever ... and they apparently don’t which is a problem.

Kinda like ... a ship builder for the US Navy has rejected the mandate ... so looks like it’s not exactly equitably enforced.

Congress is not exempted from the executive order. The executive order simply does not apply to Congress because it is an executive order. And Nancy Pelosi is against mandating the vaccine.

The main issue for me was the claim Congress and the White House is exempt from the mandate. People employeed by the executive branch are not excluded and the executive order cannot apply to Congress.

Big 3 Automakers, Unions Agree Not to Require Vaccine, Will Require Masks



General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler announced Wednesday they will withhold Vaccine mandates for thousands of employees, but will require on-site masking after negotiations with the UAW, according to a joint statement.



The declaration also encourages unionized workers to report their vaccination status at their own discretion but does not require it. “The Task Force continues to urge all members, coworkers, and their families to get vaccinated and get booster vaccinations against COVID, while understanding that there are personal reasons that may prevent some members from being vaccinated, such as health issues or religious beliefs,” the statement read.

You do not understand that "unbelievable" and "hard to believe" are synonymous.

I get it. You probably think dictionaries are government conspiracies to enslave people with word meanings.

I understand it quite well. But we need not go on with this one. You'll provide more examples in the future.

No. I like this example because it proves your folly.

You complain that I used a synonym. That is funny. I'll stick to this one.
