Appeal to Authority

a reply to: 19Bones79

Excellent thread.

Drives home the point that you can't trust our Health Authorities, period.

Since our countries worked together on MKULTRA they've been treating humans as guinea pigs...

Sickening.

At least not the ones who stifle any meaningful discussion that is critically needed right now.


By Any Means Necessary was their battle cry, we must never forget that and the weight of its implications.

You are right! All this appeal to authority is getting ridiculous. We cannot trust these supposed authorities like Dr. Robert Malone, Peter McCullough….

With regards to capitalist activities, it’s usually not very profitable if your product kills your customer….too fast anyways. There is interesting documentaries on the sugar industry. Obesity is a significant contributor to premature death, how can the sugar lobbyists be allowed to push this dangerous product on the people? This is okay, but not medicine?

What do Malone and McCullough have to do with "authority"? They are labeled dangerous conspiracy theorists and get censored. They are not the "authority". No one can hear their voice.

How did you even manage to make such a connection? The is the most rediculous logic I've ever heard.

We all know the authority is Fauci. Stop playing stupid.

Sounded more like a whataboutism than anything else to me.

Wouldn’t the subject of appeal to authority also apply to the anti vaccine “experts”? Why wouldn’t it be equally valid to point out that people appeal to Dr. Malone as a vaccine authority?

And, if you have an issue with pharma pushing dangerous product, would you agree that the sugar industry is doing the same and would you be equally enraged?

problem with that angle is those "anti vax" experts aren't anti vax at all. McCullough, Malone and Geert all support properly tested actual vaccines, they have a problem with mandated untested drug rollouts on entire populations.

I'll wait for the long term effects to become known before I put something in my bloodstream, I think it's reckless to do otherwise.

It all boils down to who one trusts as an "authority", doesn't it?

Whether that authority is a government agency/official, or an expert found on a website or YouTube channel.

We tend to believe and trust those who reflect our own particular world-views, and distrust those who do not.

There is also the option not to trust any authorities at all. Do your own research.

If you've graduated college in any field, then you've probably had to research at least one topic, once, for a paper or something. You don't have to be a specialist in a field to know what information sources you can trust and which ones you can't.

Reading statistics and then crunching a few numbers to determine what they mean is not "appeal to authority."

That is "appeal to evidence".

So much of the population has forgotten what evidence is. "Smart person said so" isn't evidence. Experimental results are evidence. Compiled statistical data is evidence.

Great Thread and that old classic TV was correct. That brand of Cigarette was popular in middle east as well not just in western countries "America"

Cigarettes were supported by doctors.
