@adesignersperspective maybe you can use some of that supposed medical dr assisting experience you say you have and be a lot more specific about your criticisms? That’s a lot of emotional invective and cuss words. If you needed to vent your spleen and get your frustrations out, I think you’ve now done that thoroughly in your previous posts. And found sympathy from the conservative who you said your friends accused you of being. 😁 Try some of that calm, cool sciency language. I’m not the only one asking for clarification and to please be specific.
Judging from your initial post you said you were accused of being a science denier and a Trumper. Most of us have some pretty similar ideas probably what that means, but how about instead of us assuming, you just lay it out.
I also am confused where the CIA comes into the science and data part of your unclear but passionate implications. (Was that you, or another poster?)
And I’m going to throw in my laymen’s opinion that the public sort of needs to be treated like idiots sometimes lol. The public often sucks with nuance and gray areas or unclear simple messaging. You said you’re pro vax, look at all the holdouts on getting vaccinated.
Half my relatives didn’t get vaccinated, and they’re mostly Trumpers, libertarians, conservatives, and 1 bonafide Q nut.
We now have 13 people in our family who have been sick with covid this past week and a half.
So I’m a little grumpy and tired addressing this topic, as it’s been affecting a whole lot of my relatives and extended family. I hope you’ll understand why I’m skeptical and am asking for details. How old are you and what is your education?

So popular his government threatened people’s jobs to come out and vote for him:
Some 145,000 observers were monitoring the voting in the world's largest country, including 1,500 foreigners and representatives from opposition leader Alexei Navalny's political movement. Navalny himself is barred from running.

Many voters said they were under pressure from their employers to vote.
Yevgeny, a 43-year-old mechanic voting in central Moscow, said he briefly wondered whether it was worth voting.
"But the answer was easy ... If I want to keep working, I vote,"
he said. He said his bosses haven't asked for proof of voting but he fears they will.
He spoke on condition that his last name not be used out of concern that his employer -- the Moscow city government -- would find out.
Yevgeny Roizman, the mayor of Russia's fourth-largest city, Yekaterinburg, told The Associated Press that local officials and state employees have all received orders "from higher up" to make sure the presidential vote turnout is over 60 percent.
"They are using everything: schools, kindergartens, hospitals -- the battle for the turnout is unprecedented," said Roizman, one of the rare opposition politicians to hold a significant elected office.
A doctor at one of the city's hospitals told the AP how one kind of voting pressure works.
The doctor, who gave her name only as Yekaterina because of fears about repercussions, said she and her co-workers were told to fill out forms detailing not only where they would cast their ballots, but giving the names and details of two "allies" whom they promised to persuade to go vote.
"People were indignant at first, said: 'They're violating our rights' ... but what can you do?"
she said at a cafe Saturday.
Yekaterina said she wasn't sure what she would do with her ballot, musing that "maybe I'll just write 'Putin is a moron.'"
But she understood that not showing up at the polling place Sunday would not only endanger her job but would reflect badly on her boss, whom she likes.
She said she wouldn't go to vote if she wasn't forced to.
"What's the point? We already know the outcome. This is just a circus show," she said.

Oh please what resources did he get? To be on the receiving end of smear campaigns by Clinton... who bought the dnc? Or maybe the tens of thousands of dollars he paid for the privilege of using NGP VAN software, a company run by two Clintonites who planted an insider as his data manager? Oh maybe he benefitted from having attack articles written against him by journalists who were chummy with Luis Miranda, the DNC communications director? You know, the Clinton-selected guy who Robby Mook has DWS agree to hire in August *2015*...before the first primary vote, before any of us regular citizens got to choose Webb, O’Malley, Sanders or Clinton.
And Bernie never pretended anything. Unlike robotic Hillary who has no class, no genuine connection with people, no ethics, Bernie’s been very open the whole time that he is an independent as a senator from Vermont.
And he ran as a Democrat for president...if he’d won a fair primary, we’d have a democratic president in office today. Bernie.
He’s more democrat than most of the democrats who are official party members. You care more about a title than a persons actual character and platform.
Must be a fan of Clinton, who has zero character or integrity ...but hey, what’s really important is she presented herself to the world as a democrat. And a human being.
