Troo believers trust the science.
Some of the smartest people on the planet have been involved in the research and development of the COVID vaccines. Budgets worth billions. Thousands of scientists, doctors, immunologists and virologists yet the non believers think they’re smarter with a glass of red and half an hour using google to confirm their bias.
The next time you get on an aeroplane how do you know it’s safe to fly on? Is the engineering up to scratch? Has the Captain had a bender the night before due to their divorce. What about the F/O whom just scraped through on their last sim. Nope you get onboard having faith and trust in those appointed as specialists in their field to keep you safe so you can recline knowing that the thousands of engineers and pilots that built and fly the machine are experts in what they do.
At what point in society do we acknowledge and let the experts make the call? What makes the ignorant suddenly such experts on immunology and vaccines? Do you even know what a confidence interval or p value is? Let us all know when you understand the full gamut of the subject otherwise you’re not qualified to comment.I’m certainly not either.
I trust the science. I’m not smart enough to know otherwise and I’m certainly no expert in any of the above fields but I’m humble enough to know what I don’t know and that’s a significant amount.
