But all it really comes down to for me is that I am nowhere near educated enough in biology and epidemiology to make any reasonable conclusions about this, so I trust the experts (and, no, I'm not talking about Fauci). The CDC employs over 10k people. The FDA employs nearly 15k. The WHO employs around 7k people across ~150 countries. There are countless agencies across the world who are working on this. I have a master's degree in business, which means that I'm qualified to interpret roughly jack shit about this. Now, does that mean that the hive mind of experts always gets everything perfectly right? No, of course not. The whole point of science is to make an assessment based on the information we have available, then revise that assessment based on any new information that we get. I don't expect every recommendation to be 100% right. But I do expect that their recommendations are based on a much more sound assessment than I can do myself, and on the whole, we're far better off trusting those agencies than just ignoring everything they say. Is it possible there could be some more effects in the long term? I haven't see anything to suggest that's likely, but sure, you never know. But the army of epidemiologists around the world have definitively concluded that the best way out of this pandemic is through vaccines, and that's good enough for me. |

Why does everyone keep bringing up Isreal's data? Why should anyone give a shit about the data they show?

Stopped at QT this morning, no one wearing a mask including employees. Same at the dealership when I dropped my car off for service. About 50/50 in the grocery store for customers, all employees are wearing. There's no realistic way to enforce it and people are doing whatever the **** they want. We're never gonna get past this. |
