I posted a chart earlier in the thread showing millions of years of ice core data illustrating that CO2 lags temperature and is not responsible for temperature. Are the scientists that produced that chart any less qualified with the scientists that suggest the opposite? The thing about science is that it can never be settled. Science is observation and hypothesis. There will always be opposing views and the views that do not comport with the goals of powerful people and drive huge profits will always be discounted by the side collecting the checks.

Sweden’s economy has done significantly better and more scientists are opposing lockdowns.

If someone predicts the score after the game is played.....can we really call them a scientist? 😆

Only thing is, Sweden predicted the score early in the first quarter.

I'd say Bob's quote is also a valid criticism of the WHO scientists who are now coming around to finally admitting that the lockdowns are not a preferred strategy. All they had to do was wait six months to see the damage being wrought with their own eyes. Very scientific. Nailed the observation part. Swing and a miss on the hypothesis aspect.

Ya....thats kinda what im thinking. Its not a threat....its the end of the world. No masks....everbody mask....lock everybody down until it goes away....lockdowns are only for short term.

Seems a lot of the scientific experts in public health policy are conflicted on their science.

Now the bio/pharma research people?....seems they have their stuff all in one sock.

I was out walking some nature trails yesterday and I'm still very surprised how many people (usually healthy women, it would seem) wear masks outside. Seeing that they are the lowest risk group from COVID-19, and their risk is almost nil, especially outside, I wonder how long it will take for a more rational, scientific and objective response from those that have become hypochondriacs.
Maybe, like doctors, they’re wearing the mask to protect you from asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic spread. It’s a 130+ year old concept, maybe we’ll catch on.

But I cover my face when I cough or sneeze and have been doing so for 35+ years. That includes the time after AP Bio when I learned viruses, bacteria, and most microorganisms are smaller than the pores in my shirt or (worse) gap between my fingers.
