Had some great commercials!

Usually the people proclaiming science as the ultimate answer treat it same as people did religion. It's not infallible and it's capable of correcting itself unless acted on by outside forces. We know a lot more than we did 6 months ago because of science, but there's still more to learn. We'll be fine as longer as we respond to new information.
Today's great science is tomorrow's failure...From 1972

Yep, just the header but you can see where this is going. "The demands of emission control and cost reduction are making this rotary power plant increasingly attractive for the U.S. automobile." Science has deliverd us from dirty scourge, the piston engine!
Well it did, until it didn't:
https://www.carthrottle.com/post/engineering-explained-why-the-rotary-engine-had-to-die/
"When you put it all together, emissions killed off the rotary. The combination of inefficient combustion, inherent oil burning, and a sealing challenge result in an engine that’s not competitive by today’s standards on emissions or fuel economy."
But bad science is like Roaches, hard to kill:

But I guess the science is still not working:

Oh, speaking of the 1970s...

When I got this issue back in 1976, the "What's Happening to our Climate?" story teased on the front cover scared the heck out of my pre-teen self when I read it...A new ICE AGE was coming!
Its called Federalism. Big government sucks. Like #44 use to say "elections have consequences ".

Yep. Published, Peer-Reviewed Articles are their sole Bible - Published and Elevated Scientists are the Priesthood, and woe to anyone who goes against the Approved Dogma - for they shall be found anathema. Heretics.
Never mind when their "scientific" crap is wrong - and the heretics are correct.
Medicine is bought and directed by the wealthy Pharmaceutical Companies - they finance medical journals - through advertising their Patented products - and even pay physicians to push their products.
The medical community is money oriented - focused on practicing medicine - and not on healing - as they should be.
"We" being the operative word.Shame them relentlessly.
Cuomo admits 'we all failed' at making coronavirus projections
Cuomo admits 'we all failed' at making coronavirus projections
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that coronavirus projections from experts were all wrong and he's getting out of the business of speculating because of it.www.foxnews.com
But...but...but...
"We" being the operative word.
There ain't no "I" in team.
This statement should be pinned at the top of any political thread.Funny how in government praise can be singular but accountability is almost always collective.
Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.Funny how in government praise can be singular but accountability is almost always collective.
Purdue fuq'n
Purdue University president says not reopening in the fall would be 'unacceptable'
Purdue University president says not reopening in the fall would be 'unacceptable'
Mitch Daniels, the former Republican governor of Indiana and current president of Purdue University, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Tuesday morning that failing to reopen the university for students this fall would be "an unacceptable breach of duty."www.foxnews.com
Oh how the rats are starting to eat each other now.
We are going to see Canes football in a few months.
Every totalitarian trait imaginable...That's only supposed to happen when their political party wins.
Nope....Will anyone notice if Michigan plays or not? Will anyone care?
Fake science. Fake news. Fake everything. We can only trust our supreme leader because everything else is a liberal conspiracy including science.

To get back on topic here:
If what was one of the hottest spots in the entire United States, New Jersey, is preparing to support professional leagues, I can’t imagine that there wouldn’t be Michigan football in Michigan. I realize it’s college, but if the pros can show a mechanism by which they can play in their league, I don’t see why colleges can’t either.
Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) Tweeted:
UPDATE: Professional sports teams in NJ may return to training and even competition – if their leagues choose to move in that direction. We have been in constant discussions with teams about necessary protocols to protect the health and safety of players, coaches, and personnel.

A big part of the problem is the hype that some scientific studies get. Remember when it was clear that butter was delicious death and margarine was the healthy alternative until some discovered trans fats are worse. Same with eggs, shrimp, coconut oil, and almost anything denigrated by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Fear draws attention.Yep. lol. Everything is now such a conspiracy that public confidence in science (not scientific discussion) is eroding even when institutional issues are not contributing to its erosion.
This is such a laughable oversimplification of the scientific process in general. Peer review and debate is a constant in most such journals with plenty of debates lasting decades of people's careers. People have egos/pride but that has something to do with their pride in their work given usually how much effort and debate and studies (and substantiation) have been put into it. Should they be 'open' (whatever that means) to alternate viewpoints? Of course. But those alternate viewpoints should be treated with the same rigor and preened to the same degree of work in their proof as well. Guys sitting on message boards or park benches blurting out tweets, making opaque conclusions, and screaming about 'context and 'party lines' to water things down in order to prop themselves up is not scientific rigor.
Sure the pharma industry has an interest group in politics. Anyone with power does. But what is this 'focus on practicing medicine and not on healing' you're talking about? Do you mean more preventive medicine efforts and integrating holistic health (nutrition, etc.) into medicine? If so, then that would be at the intersection of public health and medicine. Not sure what medicine and not healing means.
