fishinwrench Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 If the medical community wishes to be taken seriously, and they want the people to trust them, then they shouldn't be trying to pull shady $#!t all the time. They are constantly screwing with people, and then condemning them when they are skeptical. What kinda BS is that? As if banks should hire convicted felons, and daycares should hire convicted child molesters. GTFOH! top_dollar and snagged in outlet 3 1 1

Was it really polio? Probably not, but who can prove them wrong? Once one doctor says it, then that's the lifelong prognosis. 🙄 Like any profession there are good doctors and bad doctors. With something like a polio prognosis, I would seek a second or third opinion fi that is an option.

The reason many in the scientific community condemn skeptics is because, the non scientific skeptics are too lazy to do years of research. If you are skeptical of the current scientific consensus, it is upon you to present your findings to a peer reviewed journal. There is a process by which you can expose the BS, but it involves more work than just throwing your hands up and claiming conspiracy. When you dont follow that process, anyone in the scientific community gets to look at you and say GTFOH! We currently live in an unfortunate age of "anti-intellectualism" (See, Dunning-Kruger effect). Meaning, that too many people don't perceive someone who has dedicated their life to a particular subject, as being more knowledgeable than yourself about that subject. So, its not that anyone would condemn your for being skeptical, but more that you're being disregarded to due to your complete ignorance. Lets put it in more manageable terms. I know very little about outboard motors other than basic maintenance. You fix them for a living. Any opinion I have on outboards, could essentially be completely discounted by someone who actually knows what they are talking about. So, you being skeptical of a doctors advise (or anyone in the medical community), would be like, someone who has never owned a boat before, pretending like they know as much as you, and discounting your knowledge. I think in that instance you could justifiably "condemn their skepticism" or in my case make fun of it. bfishn and Terrierman 1 1

The second one was no problem but I had to bite my lip to get it. HA I know that feeling. So we want to get our shingles shots. Pat tries to set it up at her work. Keep in mind Pat does all my blood work and injections and she is good!. So they say we don't do that you have to go to a pharmacist. So we get on a waiting list at the participating pharmacies as they all were waiting for more vaccine. Guess who calls first? WAL MART 🤪. So we go here. The lady was nice but and We watched her uncap the needle but I swear she took the tip of that needle to a concrete floor first and to boot she was shaking when she poked me. It was really sore for a few days but like you Thomas second not so bad.

MOPanfisher Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 If the choice is Shingles or a non fatal bullet wound, please shoot me. Been there done that with Shingles. Don't remember any issues with the vaccine, either shot though?
