Dr. Joseph Mercola: What Does It Mean to ‘Trust the Science’?
Based underground ^ | September 25, 2021 | Dr. Joseph mercola

Posted on 09/25/2021 5:55:09 PM PDT by NoLibZone

In the featured video,1 James Corbett of The Corbett Report explores what it means to “trust the science,” demolishing along the way the notion that science can ever be “settled” and beyond question. This is important, because scientific deception will continue to be used in the biosecurity state being built around us.

What Science Should You Trust? With increasing frequency, we’re told to “trust the science” and “follow the science.” Yet what science are we supposed to follow? Exactly who’s an expert and who’s not, and who decides which is which? As I’ve been writing about for nearly two years now, there’s plenty of scientific evidence refuting everything we’re being told to accept as “fact.”

This includes the claim that masks protect against viral infection, that lockdowns slow down the spread, that school closures protect children, that there are no effective early treatments for COVID-19, and that the fast-tracked COVID shots are safe, effective and necessary even if you have natural immunity.

Liberals progressives and Democrats can no longer Reject eating GMO foods, produce with pesticides or chicken breasts with growth hormones. They can no longer demand organic anything.

It means “We don’t trust God”, so this is our new religion.

That’s simple.

“Trust the science” means “Believe our lies.”

The science can be virus variant dependent.

Covid variants can come and go before their related science can be fleshed out well.

"Fauci said he was THE SCIENCE..."

I wonder if that's anything like The Liquor.

Even doctors reject once-trusted treatments because science keeps evolving and is about continuing to test a hypothesis and challenge the conclusions reached.

For example, it was once thought proper medical treatment to “bleed” sick people. They would draw blood from the sick. That was “trusted science” that turned out to be dangerous nonsense.

He means “Obey Science,” and by science, he means bureaucrats.

When Nancy Pelosi said trust the science, she was not following the science but, instead, being akin to the lab coat instructor in the famous Stanley Milgram Psychological Obedience experiment.

There are many people here who know of the Milgram experiment where Stanley Milgram falsely said he was doing an experiment of the effect of punishment on learning, when, in fact, it was a measure of obedience to authority. There was a white coat guy who supposedly set up the electrodes to supposedly shock people if they gave the wrong answer; there was a teacher (a volunteer, and these volunteers were taken from all walks of life); there was also the person who the shocks were supposed to be administered to and he was something of an actor who could feign pain and distress as the dummy voltage of the device was purportedly increased. The experiment revealed an ugly side to human nature as many of the participants; i.e. teachers, pushed the voltage up to very high levels that could kill or cause a person severe pain if the voltage was not bogus. When they looked at the white coated guy for instructions as they were allegedly causing the subject (actually, an actor of sorts) severe pain, the white coated guy told them to continue and said it is for the science.

Nancy Pelosi is taking advantage of this dark side of human nature revealed via the Stanley Milgram Obedience Experiment) to get obedience to her hypocritical mask mandate and vaccine mandates. Madame speaker is part of this, too. Trust the science, Madame speaker says, but it is really a lesson in obedience. Does someone fall down exercising and nearly die because of wearing a face diaper? To hell with that, trust the science! Does Marvelous Marvin Hagler die after taking the vaccine? To hell with that, trust the science!

The lib/commies were looking for a method of obedience and they have found it by imitating an experiment that exposed the nasty depths of human nature. At least Stanley Milgram was trying to do an experiment that accomplished something important; i.e., trying to understand certain facets of human nature; the lib/commies are trying to sucker people and use a virus that Fauci funded to impose an evil, woke dictatorship upon the ruins of America. The lib/commies are truly satanic.

Science is never settled.
I have read and excellent article about great scientific arguments against Galileo. 99% scientists in Galileo time scientifically refuted all his arguments. And, based on the science of that time, they were right.
And, sometimes, scientific mistakes lead to great discoveries.
Columbus calculated the distance to India wrongly. He could never make it to India, and the scientists of his time rightfully pointed that out. But he went anyway.

“They would draw blood from the sick.”

Uh, the Medicos mostly continue to draw blood, just much less than before. They still claim that the drawing of the blood is indicated for proper treatment.

Not all that long ago, many doctors thought stomach ulcers were from eating spicy foods. It turns out it’s a specific bacteria that causes the problem in most cases.

trust the science

The problem with this whole insane debate is that it is insane from its inception because the entire topic assumes that the thing that is being debated is something that exists as a defined thing. There is no such thing as "the science" as an intellectual construct used in debate. It is only a meaningless cudgel use by totalitarians to beat ignoramuses into submission.

Under this false god "the Science" is placed an accepted collection of ravings by false idols like Faucci to suggest that their ravings are accepted wisdom. It's a psuedo religion, substituting "the Science" for "the Word" but Word in St. John was the translation of the Greek word logos, which is logic or truth.

There is a logos for science a logic, a set of epistemological principles as an intellectual practice. A scientific inquiry starts with an observed set of facts. And those observed set of facts are accepted as facts only to the extent that other scientists can repeat the observations and concur in that set of facts. If there is a discrepancy, the logos of science is that the observations are erroneous and better observations, better facts are needed.

Science is not an oracle. It does not speak. It has never been heard to say anything by sane men. Scientists are a different matter. They are a noisy and disputatious lot. But statements of one scientist have no more weight than the statements by another scientist. The only weight comes when every scientist who makes an inquiry into the matter and seeks diligently to observe what has been observed before can do so. It's not arcana that leads to accepted scientific statements [the statements of scientists] but universality and reproducibility. Likewise a scientific statement is falsified if it is accepted that scientists have made observations that are repeatable and universally accessible that contradict the scientific statement.

Anyone who is trained as a scientists and talks about "the science" is a fraud and a charlatan. And anyone not so trained who talks about what "the science" says is a fool or a lunatic or a left-wing totalitarian.

“Obey Science,” and by science, he means bureaucrats.

Bingo. It's a grand argumentum ad vericundum - argument by appeal to authority or the vast powers that they have assigned to themselves. Or better an appeal to fear - you will believe or we will do really bad things to you.

If people ask me if I’m vaccinated I’m going to tell them I’m trusting the science.

Can be interpreted either way.
