The following are some of the left’s settled facts;
Global warming is real and if we continue to burn fossil
fuels and eat meat, the planet will be unable to support life in as little as 12
years.
Even though it has failed miserably and led to millions of
deaths, socialism can work in the United States because it will be called
democratic socialism.
There are an infinite number of genders.
The national debt is just numbers.
The “Green New Deal” will save us all from ourselves.
Follow the epidemiological experts and obey every protocol
the CDC recommends, or pay the price in rising infections and deaths.
My body, my choice, except when it comes to mandatory vaccinations.
As the left worships
at the altar of “settled science”, they fail to properly understand what it is
that they support. From the Science Council; “Science is the pursuit and
application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world
following a systematic methodology based on evidence.
Scientific methodology includes the following”:
Objective observation: Debate and ask questions.
Gather information. Form a hypothesis. Test the predictions. Analyze the data.
Draw a conclusion. Do the results match the conclusions, if so, publish
results, if not, start over.
- Evidence:
Proof. That which tends to prove or disprove any conclusions
- Experiment
and/or observation as benchmarks for testing hypotheses
- Induction:
reasoning to establish general rules or conclusions drawn from facts or
examples
- Repetition:
create the same result using the same processes
- Critical
analysis: careful examination and evaluation of results and methods
- Verification and testing: critical exposure to scrutiny, peer review and assessment, in other words, utilize both positive and negative opinions.
The
left tends to overlook many of the tenets of scientific research.
Unfortunately, just because you want to believe something, does not make it so.
Generalities, not specifics dictate the leftist’s explanations of preferred
policy and avoidance of any discussion that would tend to disprove that which
they truly want to believe are the hallmarks of any argument by the left. Case
in point; social media giants Facebook and Twitter routinely censor any COVID-19
medical opinions that differ from the “settled science” from the CDC and Dr. Anthony “Often Wrong” Fauci.
Therapeutics
that may actually assist in the recovery of COVID-19 are labeled dangerous and
ineffective. Hydroxychloroquine, a drug in use for over 50 years for the
treatment of malaria, is panned by mainstream media and articles and discussion
of said drug is banned from social media. Ivermectin, an FDA approved anti-parasitic drug, is derided by the mainstream media as a horse
medication, even though it has been used as an effective treatment for COVID-19.
Many drugs specifically designed to treat one disease can positively affect other
maladies. I for one take gabapentin, an anti-seizure medication that also
relieves nerve pain, which enables me to function semi-normally even with severe
arthritis in my neck.
Another
seldom reported fact is that if there are effective therapeutics to treat a
disease, any vaccine cannot be granted an emergency use authorization by the
FDA. If the media lived up to their role as the “Fourth Estate” to hold the
powerful accountable, perhaps following the money trail may lead to the reason
that only one therapeutic, Remdesivir, at a
cost of $3000 per dose, was “approved”
by the FDA. The media disparages this treatment as less than effective when
treating COVID-19, even though President Trump recovered quickly after taking
it. Take your vaccine and like it! Ever hear any reports from the mainstream
media about taking vitamin C with zinc and Vitamin D to help ward off
infections? Of course not!
What began as two weeks to slow the spread morphed into a never-ending
string of government overreach to “Keep us safe” while violating our
Constitutional rights. Slow the spread became stop any and all infections. Mitigation
efforts to keep COVID-19 infections at bay served democrats very well in the November
2020 elections. They maintained a majority in the House, albeit a narrow majority.
They flipped control of the Senate and they took back the White House without even
having a legitimate candidate. The Delta variant of this disease is looking
ever more likely as another opportunity to skirt election laws in an effort to
maintain their power. All this over a disease that 85% of those infected are
asymptomatic. That 10% suffer mild symptoms. That 5% are at risk for more
severe symptoms. And that 98.85% of those infected recover completely.
Me thinks that thou protest too much. Those ever-compliant useful
idiots that dutifully mask up, gladly accept their vaccinations, social
distance and harbor a distrust of their neighbor are playing right into the
hands of those who seek to rule, not govern. The ruling class looks upon us
peons as low information sheep that cannot think for ourselves as they
continue to push the envelope in a never-ending crusade to keep us all in our place.
Time to wake up America. The only thing that is settled is that government was
created to serve its’ citizens, not the other way around. If we continue to
elect those who think their role is to lord over the masses, we will have no
one to blame but ourselves. It is long past time to send those "rulers" to the unemployment
line and elect those that understand their role is to represent the
people, that they serve at the people’s pleasure and know to place the people’s needs above their
own.
