As his summary concludes: Science is dying; superstition disguised as morality is returning. And we’ll all soon become poorer, angrier, and more divided.Link to storySeptember 16, 2021 Updated: September 18, 2021 The scientific method used to govern much of popular American thinking. In empirical fashion, scientists advised us to examine evidence and data, and then by induction come to rational hypotheses. The enemies of “science” were politics, superstition, bias, and deduction. Yet we are now returning to our version of medieval alchemy and astrology in rejecting a millennium of the scientific method. Take the superstitions that now surround COVID-19. We now know from data that a prior case of COVID-19 offers immunity as robust as vaccination. Why, then, are Joe Biden’s proposed vaccination mandates ignoring that scientific fact? Dr. Anthony Fauci, when asked, seemed at a loss for words. Is this yet another of the scientific community’s Platonic “noble lies,” as when Fauci assured the public last year that there was no need for masks? He later claimed he had lied so that medical professionals would not run out of needed supplies. Fauci also threw out mythical percentages needed for herd immunity, apparently in an attempt to convince the public that it will never be safe until every American is protected from COVID-19 by vaccination only. And why was it that hard for the scientific community to postulate a likely origin of COVID-19. Some of the very scientists engaged in gain-of-function research oversaw an investigation with Chinese authorities. They confirmed the predetermined conclusion that the virus likely had little to do with gain-of-function engineering. And they saw little proof it was birthed in a Wuhan virology lab. Yet scientific opinion, emerging evidence, and basic logic have suggested the opposite. How can the government hector citizens that they have a moral duty—and soon a legal obligation—to be vaccinated when it does not mandate vaccinations for unvetted refugees flying in from Afghanistan? How can the government medical community remain largely silent when an anticipated 2 million foreign nationals will cross into the United States in the current fiscal year—almost none of whom are vaccinated or tested for COVID-19? Why do the media and government blame particular races for the delta variant outbreak on grounds that they were insufficiently vaccinated? Why wouldn’t officials simply urge the Latino and black communities to be vaccinated as quickly as possible? Data shows that both groups have lower vaccination rates than white and Asian populations. Are woke political agendas discrediting science and losing public health? We saw just that in June 2020, when more than 1,200 “health care professionals” signed a petition demanding exemptions from lockdowns and quarantines for Black Lives Matter protesters marching en masse. And they concocted medical excuses such as “vital to the national public health” to insist that violating quarantines was less unhealthy than not pouring into the streets. Why did presidential candidate Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, warn the American people on the eve of vaccination rollouts that an inoculation under the Trump administration could be unsafe, thereby undermining confidence in vaccines? Why was the medical community largely silent about such dangerous sabotaging of new vaccines, but months later became vociferous in warning the public that any doubts about the safety of these Operation Warp Speed vaccinations were scientifically misplaced? Was there a medical breakthrough on Jan. 20, 2020, to alter their consensus? From rewarding wokeness in medical school admissions to the peer reviewing of scientific papers, the anti-scientific mania has polluted scientific endeavors. “Critical race theory” would preposterously tell us that we need racism to fight racism. “Critical legal theory” ludicrously claims that laws have no rational basis but simply reflect power inequities. “Modern monetary theory” defies millennia of evidence and basic logic in stating that governments can simply print money without worrying about balancing expenditures with revenues or inflating the currency to ruination. Corporations are now asked to substitute a new woke agenda theory—“Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG)”—in lieu of market realities, rules of investment, and economic data. Science is dying; superstition disguised as morality is returning. And we’ll all soon become poorer, angrier, and more divided.

If they can get legal ruling a fetus is not human, they can bend all of the other rules.

Many in the field of science, and many in the field of medicine, have sold their souls for the proverbial 30 pieces of silver.
Politicians already were, and remain, the epitome of Judas Iscariot regarding their relationships with their constituents.
The integrity of those above is at the very bottom of their priority lists.

Well spoken brother Dirt. 28 billion last year in medicare fraud that they know of...it wasn't the patients doing the fraudulent billing. I wonder how many went to jail? None?
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

None? flintlocke, IMHO, Telemed appointments are fraud, too. When these "doctors" implore me to accept that in lieu of wearing a face diaper while sitting in their super spreader waiting rooms with 30 other potential covid donors, I simply ask them how they plan to examine me. Without fail, brings crickets. PS- you should see what these scoundrels are charging Medicare for Telemed appointments. I only did one to get a script filled. It was ridiculously useless, past that. Despite the attempted dilution of your lifestyle by LA and San Fran kool-aid dispensing communist cucks, hope you are well up there, flintlocke.

Great article with all the right questions that none of the left wants to answer or have answered.
The whole pandemic is purely a scamdemic & that doesn't mean that there's no virus, just that it's been blown completely out of proportion by the left to use as a weaponized tool to achieve many of their goal.
Lots of people should be swinging over this BS, but none will.
But the sheeple are sleeping, maybe now & forever.............................

I’ll go you one better. My Advantage plan paid me $50 for those five minutes I spent staring into my phone. This year, regrettably, I actually have to don the diaper and go in so he can nag me about statins.
What fresh Hell is this?

MM Still sooo many uninformed sheeple out there, MM. I am preaching the faith, loud and proud every chance I get. Had a conversation with an older black lady at Walmart Neighborhood Market yesterday. I see her there all the time. As is normal, she was working the check out area. Completely uninformed about what was going on. I gave her my 3-minute Quick Start. She seemed aghast at what I was telling her. She had obviously never heard it before. Maybe it will sink in. Maybe it won't. At least I tried.

It’s not so much that science is dying it’s that the truth about scientific findings is being manipulated by government control, media control and certainly by the various tech giant’s social media manipulation and censoring of truth. Institutions of scientific study, laboratory work, discovery and remedies thrive on money. Money that is controlled by government and private sector persuasion. The Scientists are blackmailed into coercion in order to maintain their work and are bound by confidentiality to suppress discussion. No different than how Congress is manipulated and motivated by big money and payoffs. Technologies greatest use today is that of controlling the masses by a one party, one thought system. The truth about anything never comes out if you seek control. Utilizing untruths and propaganda daily for any manipulation or subject matter has become second nature for those who seek power and division. I’m afraid until there is serious rebellion and push back it will continue to expand and become insurmountable in coming decades.

Mike drop.
It’s good to see well reasoned articles. Post modern thinking deconstructs but doesn’t replace what it destroys with anything of substance. I’ll be glad when we have worked our way through this phase of “social/civil evolution”.

As always, follow the money. Whether it is a politician looking for his next “campaign contribution”, a union member looking to protect their pension, or a young college professor just trying to hold on long enough to make tenure. Money talks. Every thing else walks. Very few people in this country willing to fly someone the bird and take their life in a different direction based purely on moral integrity.
