This is where we are now. #ScienceIsDead #YouTubeGuy #FuckAntiVaxxers
@MicheleV_AK This always saddens me. Especially the parents that read something online and dot vaxx their kids.
@Maartje_Kerkhof_op_den_berg Can't wait for the return of polio, measles, mumps, etc. Idiots!
@MicheleV_AK Big iron lung is rubbing their hands
@MicheleV_AK Yes, scientists do make YouTube videos, but to have an audience they have to be photogenic, clever, and funny with great graphics. Personality persuades, data is boring. We have lost the Enlightenment.
@jredlund Just absurd. And be on the right, not left and admired by the guy that just got elected.
@MicheleV_AK "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -- Isaac Asimov
@marsroverdriver As someone who is now in my mid-60s, I feel it is getting worse as we see pushback on science, medicine, history, education, and religious instruction only, etc. We've been through these periods before and there is always...ALWAYS...a group that takes the brunt of the hate/bigotry because of the lack of intelligence. I am tired of it, but I will continue to resist, pushback and oppose.
