The fatal illusion of consensus

It probably was much more than was deserved by the OP post and its non-credible source.

 

 

Indeed - I’ve not seen John Snow referenced in these debates before, so it was actually a valid and refreshing contribution to the discussion, worthy of proper debate. However, the one-line response that followed was entirely predictable - typical of the OP, who seems to struggle profoundly with discussing anything he doesn’t understand yet insists on having an opinion about.

    The John Snow story and today’s anti-vaccine stance are fundamentally different because science itself has changed.   In the 1850s, medicine lacked microbiology, germ theory, sanitation stan

  • Thank you for once again POINTING OUT  that A! which is programmed by google, is just another FAKE SOURCE  of information .     Same as wikileaks. Anyone with half a brain knows that

Everything is fake to you - mainstream media, science, and now AI - unless it happens to agree with you.

 

FAKE ASSUMPTION :   i take my time to study the subjects that i feel confident to comment on .  Then i decide my viewpoint as best i can at the time .    EXAMPLE :  i had no idea nor viewpoint on the measures and mandates that popped up in 2019 .   I did not rush to join any side .   Fortunately I chose to believe my eyes, ears,  and common sense (some of which is a distrust, not only of govts or pharma companies, but many things in life ) .   i do not let others just tell me what "experts"  i must follow !'   Hence.... I am sure i made the right decision not to put the dangerous life altering covid jab in my body.    YOU ,  made the wrong decision !

 

"You’ve repeatedly proven yourself entirely incapable of handling the discussion with any real comprehension." 

More of the same .... constant attempts at putting others down .  Indeed, you are the great deflectionist .   It is YOU....... who attempts to force others to play your game .

 

More:  "That’s why most of my replies to you are brief and dismissive: not because I’m arrogant, but because there’s nothing substantial to engage with. You interpret that as superiority, which makes sense - from a position of such intellectual poverty, even basic reasoning must look like arrogance"

 

NOPE:   i don't care how you reply.   I am the one who will not engage with you  ( this being my once a year exception ) .   I know what you are,  and i know you are not intelligent .   That is why Rumak irks you so ;   YOU know it too .  You are simply someone who wants to prove yourself to be better than others.

Pffftttt.   People like that are best avoided .   Nothing to gain for me,   where others may enjoy your tactics.

 

A final comment about "credible sources"  and AI  !

just the fact that you and others really believe you are well educated and form your holier than thou decisions on what is true or not ,   based on quoting the only sources YOU  deem not from quacks or loonies , etc etc .. well, that close-mindedness and arrogance just shuts the door on your self perceived brilliance .  

I never confuse education with intelligence .     

 

You are just a slave to your biases .    As for AI ,  y'all don't even understand the simplest of realities ;

"It is important to recognize that bias can occur in various stages of the AI pipeline. One of the primary sources of such bias is data collection. The resulting outputs may be biased if the data used to train an AI algorithm is not diverse or representative."

 

AI  is........trained !!

I'm certainly NOT a historian type when it comes to public health matters... more of a current affairs aficionado....

 

But if there was any value to be found in this thread at all, it was by chance learning for the first time about the important historical role of John Snow and his fundamental contributions to developing the fields of public health and epidemiology. 

 

Sadly, these days, many of the posters in this subforum crudely call public health and medical field leaders and scientists "criminals" and ignorantly accuse them of dispensing "poisons."

 

And of course, the sadly predictable result of that kind of disgusting public discourse is things like the following:

 

5 takeaways as CDC tensions with RFK Jr. explode

08/28/25

Deadly shooting at HQ stoked frustration

"Earlier this month, a gunman fired 500 rounds into the CDC’s Atlanta headquarters, killing one police officer. The shooter was later identified as a Georgia man who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for his depression and suicidal thoughts.

 

Federal workers’ frustration with Kennedy’s leadership erupted after the shooting, with more than 750 HHS employees sending a letter to Congress accusing the secretary of contributing the violent act by sewing mistrust in the vaccine and public health institutions.

 

“When a federal health agency is under attack, America’s health is under attack. When the federal workforce is not safe, America is not safe,” the letter reads. “Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is complicit in dismantling America’s public health infrastructure and endangering the nation’s health by repeatedly spreading inaccurate health information.”  [emphasis added]

It's no more or less than 'calling a spade a spade' and criminal is to soft a word to describe their evil shenanigans. 

And lengthy prison sentences is the bare minimum they deserve for their role in knowingly poisoning the population, 

No mercy!

Today, the scientific method is systematic, transparent, and globally collaborative. Vaccine safety and efficacy are tested through controlled trials, independent replication, ongoing pharmacovigilance, and public data scrutiny involving thousands of researchers across nations - not by the opinion of a single government board.

Of to the joke section with you. What utter nonsense.

Yep, a whole larger share of YOU (the no vaccines folks) died from COVID.... as the chart below clearly shows, far more than the vaccinated Pfizer fans group. Follow the red "unvaccinated" line.

Even toward the end of the chart period, the unvaxed having a COVID death rate about 5 times higher than the vaccinated group:

At the earlier point when the unvaccinated had their highest COVID death rate, it was TEN times higher than the unvaccinated group:

No, I mean Covid-19 weekly and/or monthly death rate by vaccination status, all ages, for 2024 and 2025.

Excellent article.  Men like John Snow are heros.  That is probably why I have never heard of him prior to reading the article.  He was using logic and common sense to identify and correct the cholera. 

 

The doctrine of poison followed by the scoundrels pretending to care about us use consensus as a key tool to continue intentionally poisoning people. Consensus in the realm of failed theory is a clear indication of the doctrine. 

 

The Holy Bible details thousands of years of these demons and their modus operandi of poison.   and labels them as vermin and explains how to permanently eradicate the abomination that originates in the unseen realm of embedded beliefs.  You can actually render them impotent at the belief level by embedding better ones.
