I said I don't trust politicians. Let me give you a political lesson, crisis emerges and the party not in power blames other party and exaggerates the issue. Party in power tries to downplay it. Both sides view that working together would look bad to part of their base so it won't happen. Let's say party in power loses and the exact same crisis reappears, the roles would exactly reverse. Why I don't like politics, there is a right and a wrong, black and white to our HoKKKs trolls, but politics is whether it is a D or an R.
I usually don't say this but that is an idiotic statement. I merely said I approach scientists with a healthy skepticism. You mentioned doctors office visit and I can quickly find at least 10 drugs developed by scientists, tested by scientists and reviewed by scientists that had to be recalled because the drugs were killing people. When they researched what happened the money to be made by the drug caused these scientists to falsify lab and testing results and in at least one case payouts to gain approval.
And to bring it to March and April like you always want to, we were told by scientists that 2 million in the USA were going to die due to coronavirus.
