I suspect you are relatively young in comparison to most people who post on these forums. With that in mind, I hope when the day arrives that your life might depend on advanced pharmaceutical research (assuming it still exists) that you might change your mind about the science.

And by the way, he was caught on many lies.

You're walking down the sidewalk and spot a 20-dollar bill in front of a store.  Do you ignore and walk on? Do you stop and pick up and place in your pocket?  Do you stop and pick up and enter the store to ask anyone lost a 20-dollar bill?

No one is attacking "science" or hates it..its such a broad generalization to make...science is a process. Its not a science vs spirituality debate. If the the experiment doesn't agree with your hypothesis, than you should acknowledge that it doesn't agree. Not look for many ways to force it to agree through manipulation and then pass it to people that it agrees even though it doesn't.

Theres a difference between medicine and surgery. Theres a difference between all known biological and chemical substances that can be used to treat people. Theres also a difference between how it affects people. I had an allergic reaction and body froze stiff for a week after taking a drug prescribed to me after braking my wrist as a child. You never know the reaction youll have. Hell this Ozympic stuff is really really bad for some people. Trial by error with medications is science itself. All im saying is that people should be fully aware of potential risks that may affect them and for "experts" to make sure people understand that there are risks rather than shoving very new medications down everyones throats through extremely strong media propaganda and coercion. If we are to have something like a HHS, than it should be used to make sure companies arent misleading the public and hold them accountable for it.

Apparently, you don't listen to and/or read all the possible side effects that the CDC requires to be published with all pharmaceuticals both old and new.

We do the r&d so we pay for that expense in our prescriptions while Canada and India wait for the patents to expire so they can make their generics for a fraction of the cost..

For many science is a religion. And if you don't toe the consensus line you're a heretic.

So, you're admitting that science is your religion.  Got it.

Science adjusts it views based on what is observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

Scientific method and religious belief are nearly polar opposites in how they operate.   

Just because you don't like the objective facts presented by science, does not make them any less true. And you are not a rebel for denying scientific observation, you're just a fool.

Or science adjusts its views based on politics.

Science can be a religion. Nothing wrong with that. People can believe as they wish. If they think the vast universe just happened, and things were created out of nothing, that is their choice. A limited understanding, but their choice. Just like believing in religion but not science is also a limited understanding. A child doesnt understand how a massive business was created, but it was. Just like the AH world. It was created, it's science, and 99.99% of the world couldnt create it, but they play in its world.

 A quote from one of my favorites:
 
"Imagine the universe beautiful and just and perfect.

Then be sure of one thing:
The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have.
The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't."

We are still children in gods creation. Our scientific understanding is just a tiny fraction of how grand the entire universe is.

Be careful not to confuse an agenda with science or spirituality  :old:

You pick it up and give it to the person in front or behind you in line at checkout. Whoever looks like they would appreciate it the most.  :salute
