I'm amazed at how a certain segment of the population doesn't believe in science, and in particular, how vaccines became a bad thing. From the dunderhead who currently heads up health and human services on down to the trolls who "do their own research," for some reason vaccines are to be avoided and shouldn't even be in the public purview because .... reasons!
But yet, these same folks clamor for drugs that they are "told" are miracles, like taking ivermectin as a cure all, despite it having never been tested for efficacy for reasons that make no sense.
Or these drugs you see advertised on TV that may treat some rare thing, but also may cause death, are widely accepted and people clamor for them. And for things like Ozempic, which causes weight loss *for as long as you take it* as a true side effect of what the drug is intended for, makes people want it as a miracle weight loss drug.
Why is this so hard for people to understand. Science looks at the small details, the facts, and not hyperbole, wild claims, or other crazy bits of information. And in some cases, protects us from nature itself. But yet, people seem to think that what matters is that catchy tune that makes everything sound wonderful, even if its not.
