"Let me put this out there.....let's say you have a group of scientists who have a theory....to move THAT theory forward they need data to feed into his calculations. They can't use data that doesn't follow the initial theory they must use data that backs the theory or the theory is busted. Now if they do just that (use their own data banks) does that actually prove anything...if they use select data is there not a reason to question the theory?" Legitimate scientists don't work to prove a theory. They work to test theory. If they perform a test that disproves their theory they publish a paper that says so. But just to follow thru on your premise, since you're talking about unethical scientists. If they did what you propose I assume they would publish a report of some sort? If it was a typical peer reviewed scientific paper it would included at sources, methods, calculations, assumptions, and conclusions ... and such papers would be discredited as soon as other scientist attempted to verify their results.
"Also if I would "bother" to put up info against what Fauci and company have been doing (numbers, assertions)....how much you want to bet that my writings would be disavowed by you and others on the fact that they don't fit in line?" I implied it in my previous post but I'll say it plainly here. I will read whatever link you supply and consider it on the facts it contains. Opinions are another thing entirely, and I don't argue anyone's opinion. If someone says they like chocolate better than vanilla that's end of discussion. If they it's a fact that chocolate is better than vanilla I'll challenge them to prove it.
"Oh yeah...some get their info from the "experts"....do you ever question a person as being an expert....bet you do only if that "expert" doesn't follow your original belief." I can't say that I ever take any one source's word on anything regardless of how much I think of that source. I first google the subject and find out the pros and the cons, and if I can make sense of the original claim I accept it. If I can't then I don't.
"This ain't going anywhere.....I'm living this hell on a REAL basis.....get off you high horse....If I were an a##hole I'd wish what my wife and I are going through on you and members of your family.....but I'm not that way....Stay with you know it all group...who actually know little of the actual facts....but read a lot about it...." Virtually everyone is affected by this in one way or another. As you probably guess I live in New York, the hell hole center of the universe as far as the COVID-19 outbreak goes. You, I take it, live somewhere that isn't nearly as impacted. So obviously the crap you're going thru is different than what I'm experiencing. But what I've seen is hospitalizations, intubations, and deaths go down every single day for 28 days because of what the citizens of New York have done to contain the beast. I guess that makes an impression on me an influences my perspective just like your personal experiences impacts your perspective. I'm not sure that makes me a bad guy ...
