Classic Woody Allen “Sleeper” stuff:

“Science has now discovered that tobacco is good for you!”

;-)

[KTM rider]

Civilization shifted from faith in a higher power to faith in science fiction

the biotech snake oil salesmen are making a killing

[BipolarBob]

I can go back to cigars!! Woo-hoo!

[LottieDah]

And they said tobacco was bad for you. Live and learn.

[Salamander]

Way back when this stuff started, the French used nicotine to fight it.

They were successful, too but you can’t find that now.

[BipolarBob]

NOW they need to “discover” drinking tequila is good for your heart.

[agatheringstorm]

Flu? What’s that?

[cgbg]

I have been smoking cigars for decades—and I am healthy as an ox.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Heart? What about liver?

Notice how immediately after the election all the headlines have changed. Such as Sludge Report:

COVID MIRACLE?
JAB ‘90%’ PROTECTION
STOCKS ROCKET TO RECORD

[VanDeKoik]

If only Joe Camel lived long enough to see this.

[monkeyshine]

The vaccine contained virus-like particles which resembled circulating flu strains, extracted from native Australian tobacco relatives that were genetically instructed to produce the viral proteins.

Don't worry. Nothing bad will come from this.

[Red Badger]

Well, Joe and the Camel did..................

[shotgun]

I’ve been chewing Copenhagen Snuff for 46 years. It’s a naturally expectorant.

[BipolarBob]

Well, good point! If it’s good for the liver too, that’s a bonus.

A long time ago people were making comments about how bad tobacco is for us. Our pastor said everything God put on earth can be beneficial to us or God wouldn’t have put it here. We just have to find the beneficial purpose for things like tobacco! Voila! Here it is! My dad would be in his 100s now and he was a tobacco salesman from 1940s till he retired in 1970s or 80s. Wish I could tell him about this new discovery!

Great movie SLEEPER!

Another great one is TO ROME WITH LOVE,
and
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.

Because true science is quantitative, repeatable and verifiable by peer review subject to transparency and ridicule or rebuttal. Science does not require faith or beliefs in an imaginary friend. The political garbage being passed off as science has as much credence as believing speaking to the sky will bring rain.

That's a laugh. Quantum physics. Schroedinger had a zombie cat (neither dead nor alive). I can tell you tales about that cat you would not believe.
