Bill Nye took his act to MSNBC over the weekend. His latest pseudo-science screed was aimed at anti-vaxxers, Tucker Carlson, and rascally conservatives. There must have been some package deal to get a three-for-one. Perhaps Nye's shtick is running on bald tires, and the left-of-Pravda network was the only place he could find airtime. Regardless, his diatribe had so many holes that it needed an "under construction" sign.
In a nutshell, Nye stated that it is reasonable to demand that Americans be required to take the COVID vaccine. He rested his statist claim on a specious presentation of false equivalences. It seemed as if he would break his arm, patting himself on the back for such a "slam dunk." In typical Bill Nye fashion, his smugness, no doubt, beguiled the MSNBC audience and obscured his ignorance of logic.
Nye's conclusion was the product of a series of logical fallacies. In less than four minutes of airtime, "The Science Guy" made eight unforced errors in a feeble attempt at crafting a pro-vaccine argument on Mehdi Hasan's show. By any measure, that's impressive. He could give Joe Biden a run for his money.
The-not-so-science guy began the blooper reel with a bandwagon appeal. He moaned that Americans "should get the vaccine because everyone else is getting it and you don't want to be left out." Only seconds later, Nye offered an appeal to authority with platitudes to the hypothetical "rational person," while shunning the "anti-science" crowd. Then, less than a minute into his public service announcement, "Professor" Bill threw down burden-of-proof claim by comparing the "settled" science on vaccines to the Earth revolving around the sun.
Three blunders from any guest over any length of an interview are enough to discredit the entire segment. Nye delivered his trifecta in under one minute.

anti-vaxxers , really . Democrats mobilizing their propaganda mob again
Aye Nye
The FDA must be anti-vaxxer then because while they have granted its emergency use they have not given it full approval yet.
He is a hack. Nothing more.
Bill Nye - well, six-year olds think he’s smart, so he’s got that going for him.
If you dropped Bill Nye and a 200 pound bag of horse manure out of an airplane at the same time, which would still be full of s#it when it hit the ground?
Far left liar Nye has a BS degree in Engineering - he is no where near a “Scientist”
Inadvertently, he displays a large part of the problem with the left, i.e., the desire to be a part of the "In Crowd".
The In Crowd supports abortion
The In Crowd hates Chrisianity
The In Crowd supports BLM rioters
The In Crowd supports "lynching" of cops, at least as long as they are white
The In Crowd hates the Constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment
The In Crowd hates the United States of America
etc., etc., etc. ...
Libtards really love and use fake science to abuse the world.
Bill Lie, the liberal guy.
Here's the guy who made a video, as part of his television series, about how your X and Y chromosomes determine your sex only to later say that it wasn't true, that you could say your gender is whatever you want, and demand that his X and Y chromosome video be removed whenever someone posts it online.
