Best Bob's Red Pill yet. I was just completing my BSc in Molecular Biology and Genetics when the pandemic hit. With some of that hubris you describe, I lined up for the shot thinking that it was going to just be as effective as water and no more dangerous. Uf, what a mistake. Even my virology professor had said at the time that mRNA shots were unlikely to be successful as our cells are literally designed to keep shit like that out, but that was before we knew about the LNPs. The whole experience was a massive black pill for me but I persisted with The Science and started a postgraduate Genetics program investigating the cause of intersexuality in goats, a fascinating subject which revealed to me just how complex genetics really is and how simplistic the models that your average Reddit brained Science lover believes in. What finally caused me to snap was in a meeting with my academic supervisor, she asked me if it was OK to talk about Chromosomes as the basis for sex in animals as some other students had complained to the administration when she had said this in a recent first year course. WTF?!? my whole research project was about investigating exactly this. I couldn't believe I was having this discussion with a professor of molecular biology! I realized then that it was all bullshit, that scientists were craven fools who could be bullied into stating things they knew simply weren't true by fucking children. I finished the quarter and didn't go back. You're absolutely right, the ones deepest in denial about all of this are the neophytes and they're the ones we're going to have to endure long after the Bourlas of the world are gone.
Honestly, I should have know better as I worked for Greenpeace for many years on the anti-GMO campaign and knew how bad the science was. But I'd fooled myself into thinking it was just a small part of the biotechnology industry and not the basis for the whole fucking thing. Quite the black pill to swallow, but I'm glad I didn't waste any more time chasing fool's gold.
Keep spreading the word guys, you're doing the Lord's work.
By all means, even though my comment is public I'd prefer you use my twitter handle "Biz". The last two years of my undergrad was a total black pill, we even studied "Proximal Origins" the week it was published and that was when I knew something was very, very wrong with The Science. The college I went to? Evergreen - LOL!
