my mechanic has spent time educating me, being transparent, and given me cost/benefit opinion; the medical researchers have gained degrees from credible orgs, peer review has not discredited the methodology, research is replicable etc
All of that isn't "trusting them bro," and still, they can be wrong even with all that.
You trust people implicitly,
You trust people implicitly.
your grocer,
Is trying to rip me off the most they can, they've been caught doing shady shit in the past, they're "my grocer" because they're closest to my house.
landlord,
I think you're the only one on this entire fedi trusting landlords lmao. Nice to meet the one.
water supply,
I mean, I'm curious, who knows if I'm in the next Flint Mi. They trusted it too.
There are thousands of ways that the people you rely on every day could maim or outright kill you.
And one day all the microplastics they're putting in my balls will finish the job. Matter of time.
Applying this level of mistrust to a shot you get every 6 months and not the things you imbibe and tolerate every day is not logically consistent.
You're really married to this "forcing the covid issue" thing huh? I already said you can trust all the literal gods that made the vaccine they've been venerated by Christ yadda yadda who cares, is this my sixth time saying that? I can repeat myself a seventh time but honestly if it hasn't sunk in yet I don't think it's going to.
But in any case "you don't want a flu shot? Why don't you quit eating then?"
Ok you got me, feel better sport?
May I remind you that I'm responding to:
As a concept in particular. That is very much "trust me bro."
I'm not sure what studies in particular say "you should trust 'experts' unquestioningly bro," so I have a sneaking suspicion you're referring to the thing I said I wasn't talking about specifically EIGHT TIMES NOW. Sorry I had to get loud, but it seems nobody can hear around here.
Now, accepting that this vaccine was created in a joint effort by Jesus, Muhammed, and YHWH, OF COURSE it is unquestionable. HOWEVER: Everything ELSE in life, you can't necessarily trust the experts LIKE YOU CAN ON THE HOLY ROMAN COVID VACCINE!! LOOK EVERYONE I'M SAYING IT'S THE BEST EVER, IT'S DELICIOUS I'M EATING ONE RIGHT NOW!!NN!!N
Hopefully I've signaled my unquestioning loyalty on THIS TOPIC well enough to make you realize other things exist? Have I bowed enough that we can have an actual conversation now?
