Can't wait for the throng of backwoods rednecks without high school degrees to return to claim they know more than the world's top medical experts and scientists.

Should the lower classes mindlessly consume whatever the "experts" tell them?

Mindlessly? No. Should they believe the vast majority of all experts who devote their lives to studying epidemiology and medicine? Yes.

Appeal to authority is a classic logical fallacy

If it is recommended by the experts, yes.

it was an expert that figured that out, genoius

do you know how science works

you collect data and come to essentially best-guess tentative conclusions subject to change because there's always the possibility of more data to consider

Is that why one of the creators of the mRNA vaccine was blocked from posting on every major social media platform, so we could listen to all the experts and come to a conclusion?

If the experts recommend you eat 6 coiled and clay-like bowel movements per month from female Mongolian cripples would you do it?

Marvel Comics had series named What If...? where they explored such hypotheticals

Here's what I don't understand, if there is a new covid variant going around and it's deadly, why are they not enforcing the mandate now?

You would think starting it now would slow the spread before it were to get bad, no?

It's probably not as deadly comparatively
