Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass. Most people are good.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

MAGA's public health insanity: Innocents will be killed

MAGA's reality and reason-detached world is a strange thing to behold. Watching its nuttery and stupidity grow from fringe to mainstream shows the human condition and how the mind can operate when poisoned by demagogic pseudoscience. 

An AP article, Anti-science bills hit statehouses, stripping away public health protections built over a century, makes clear MAGA's anti-science public health insanity. In Minnesota, Republican state legislators introduced a proposed bill to ban mRNA vaccines as bioweapons. Through November 2022, after two years of vaccination, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines prevented ~3.2 million deaths and more than 18.5 million hospitalizations in the US. Vaccinations saved about $1.1 trillion in medical costs. The mRNA vaccines are very safe. The only bioweapons involved here are MAGA Republicans. Democrats are not part of MAGA's anti-science lunacy.


MAGA anti-science freaks in Arkansas want to make harm from vaccines illegal. 
 

Instead of making it illegal to refuse to get vaccinated and causing harm or deaths to others, MAGA gets ass-backwards what makes scientific sense. They want the opposite. These MAGA freaks are both malicious and insane.

In Oklahoma, MAGA freaks want to legalize selling raw Donkey Milk. That is going to kill some people too.



The AP article quotes an expert stating the obvious, MAGA's anti-science stupidity is going to kill people:

“The march of conspiracy thinking from the margins to the mainstream now guiding public policy should be a wake-up call for all Americans,” said Devin Burghart, president and executive director of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, who has tracked the anti-vaccine movement for decades. “People are literally going to die from it as a result.”
