alt Hacker NewsIt's also worth mentioning that some people seem to have a worriyingly short and/or selective memory. I mean, how could you ever trust your government on such matters after stuff like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contaminated_haemophilia_blood... ?
No one is asking you to “believe the government”. We’re asking to believe the scientific literature and the non partisan experts who decide these recommendations.
Further, these recommendations are not new. They have a track record. You can look io the number of lives they’ve saved/reduced damage to.
The people who insist that we should throw out the expert advice based on openly available scientific research and literature in favor of one person’s feelings because he happens to hold a politically powerful position are the ones asking us to trust the government blindly. Actually, not blindly, but contrary to the evidence that our eyes see.
