MIT Study: Vaccine Hesitancy Is ‘Highly Informed, Scientifically Literate,’ and ‘Sophisticated’

Vaccine hesitancy is a big problem, according to the Biden administration. Less than half the public is fully vaccinated while about 56 percent have received at least one jab.

The goal of fully vaccinating the American public appears to have stalled. This should not surprise us. When the vaccines were first approved for emergency use back in December 2020, 40 percent of Americans expressed skepticism about the vaccine.

Trying to shame the holdouts has failed spectacularly. Insulting and degrading them as “morons” or “ignorant” has resulted in a vicious pushback and a hardening of positions on getting vaccinated.

The missing link in the COVID vaccine equation

Before I get to the missing link subject of this article, I want to be clear that I think there’s a broader missing link in the leftist brain. That link is for logical thinking and truth recognition. We’ve been asked — no, it’s demanded of us — to ignore critical thought for so long, that some people have forgotten how to think and question. We all need to exercise our minds, and be vocal, too.

The specific missing link I’m talking about is in the COVID dialogue. As I watch California attempt to send its populace into another panic over the Delta variant, I realize that much angst could have been (still can be) avoided if we do one simple thing: Even if you staunchly believe all the COVID news, believe (erroneously) in the safety of the vaccines, believe (erroneously) that masks are a help in stopping the spread, and respect the (craven) people and government entities providing all this information, there’s a piece of the jigsaw that’s been purposely left out of the box.

OH NO! It’s Moon Wobble! – Launch the tire balancer!

NASA predicts moon ‘wobble’ and climate change will lead to more floods, more often

The moon is wobbling. There’s really no other way to say it. A slight alteration to the moon’s orbit — a wobble, if you will — has raised both eyebrows and questions about what effect such a slight jiggle may have here on Earth. It’s funny to say, sure, but the potential ramifications of a moon wobble have scientists concerned for the future.

Tucker Exposes Dark Facet Of The Technocracy – Thirst To Genetically Change Humans To ‘Stop Climate Change’

Kudos to Tucker Carlson and his team at FoxNews. On his Tuesday, June 22, program Tucker exposed the fact that in 2015, the New York based World Science Festival invited one of leftist technocracy’s darlings to gush about tackling the bogeyman of “Climate Change” by forcibly changing human fetal genetics.

How ‘Experts’ Abused Science to Saddle America with the Microaggression Mania

The need to combat “microaggressions” has recently saturated America. In higher education, business, and government, programs and policies have been implemented to deal with a supposed problem that almost no one recognized until a few years ago.

Microaggressions are statements by non-minority individuals that convey racist ideas to minority hearers, thereby supporting the white power structure and harming the listeners, who become depressed at their powerlessness.

At least, that is the theory propounded by a small number of academic researchers.

Junk Science Week: This just in: Biological sex is a myth!

The editorial timing at Berkeley News — UC Berkley’s in-house media service — really couldn’t have been more perfect. There I was at my desk last Thursday, struggling to find a newsy intro for my Junk Science Week submission on sex-spectrum pseudoscience. And then, as if on cue, my news aggregator popped out the headline: Truly Changing Sex Is Possible, Says Berkeley Trans Scholar Grace Lavery.

CIA-developed influence strategies kept showing up in the last 18 months

There are three types of “science” — good science, bad science, and political science. Perhaps some of the recent confusion and conflict occurs when rational, ethical, and honest people assume others use good science when, instead, dishonest and nefarious people often use bad science or political science.

Scientist Backing Probe Into Wuhan Lab: We Waited Because We Didn’t Want ‘To Be Associated With Trump’

A scientist that signed onto a letter recently backing a probe in the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology admitted in an interview this week that she and other scientists did not come forward sooner to back the possibility that the pandemic originated in a lab because they did not want “to be associated with Trump.”

So they played politics instead of “following the science”, just like Fauci and Birx. More truthfully, they didn’t want to have to admit Trump was right about the Wuhan Lab as the source of the Chinese Virus. So once again, scientists lied and people died because of hatred of Trump.

What happened when Trump tried to stop U.S. funding for the Communist Chinese Wuhan Lab

Listen to top scientists and editors from esteemed medical journals and you can’t help but conclude there is such a thing as a “scientific establishment.” And it’s been as corrupted by politics and misinformation as many in politics and the media.

Cruz: Fauci Led a ‘Systematic’ Effort to ‘Mislead the American People’

Cruz said, “I have to say this email dump that came out makes clear that this is not just being sloppy, it is systematic and systemically an effort to mislead the American people. As you noted, he wasn’t doing it alone, but he was doing it with much of the U.S. government behind him, and with Facebook and big tech operating as an extension of the U.S. government in order to silence any views that disagreed not with the science because he wasn’t looking for the science, he was suppressing the science but rather trying to silence anything that disagreed with the political narrative that was convenient that he was pushing at that moment.”

BBC staff refuse to wear ‘social distancing proximity sensor’ to make sure they keep two metres apart in the office after devices ‘start smoking’ and interrupt live TV with bleeping

Staff members at the corporation were given the devices in January and were told they will need to wear the technology to alert them if they are less than two metres apart from someone else.
