Your honesty is quite refreshing and your carefulness is very apparent in your writing. Science (or any critical thinking) shouldn't be done in a void because you'll never pick up all the details yourself and someone else's comments can make you think about things differently. I have always hated the phrase "settled science", way before the pandemic, because that takes a lot of hubris - it may seem settled based on what we currently know ... but what we don't know is just so, so much. And honestly, with the overwhelming lack of information concerning these vaccines, people have a right to be skeptical (especially with what would seem to be bad faith claims of safety and efficacy).
I too share your concerns over apparent paranoia over potentially unfounded claims. As a life-long conservative I have seen articles in the MSM time and time again where the journalist picks the absolute most ridiculous claim as the basis for the viewpoint of the opposing side (and no wonder they believe people like me are nuts) - there's just one problem ... that's not my viewpoint ... and we never get a rebuttal.
Thanks for promoting skepticism - it really is needed with so much that is going on right now!
Funny - I’m totally happy to be on the same side as the snake venom guy, haha. It’s only when the “serious” anti-narrative argument is actually patently weak or silly that I get contrarian.
I don’t think the MSM gains any credibility when it debunks conspiracy theories or other creative theories about reality. Everyone actually knows that the MSM cannot *have* credibility on this issue because they are not willing to entertain the possibility of conspiracy to begin with, even when the official story screams out conspiracy. Amply demonstrated by 9-11.
Likewise, I think the media comes off as tone-deaf and desperate when they attack creative theories. I thought Trump’s “inject bleach” moment was endearing and reflected a mind always eager to rotate the picture. The fact that the media can only see it as a gaff speaks volumes about their mindless worship of credentialed authority!
I don't really find the Panera Kingdom guy's dismissive attitude towards "creative theories" (wtf does this even mean?) like "5G poisoning" when we've known long before 5G was deployed that microwave radiation has a huge impact on our health. There are countless studies. It's this kind of one-track-mind paradigm that makes people in science insufferable.
Thank you for allowing us to follow your thought process on LNPs. *This* is a scientific journey.
