Always on the WRONG side of science..

Qmagacons

They reject vaccines. Meanwhile, vaccines have proven to be the NUMBER ONE public health defense measure EVER devised by mankind.

The truth..
Scourges stopped in their tracks by VACCINES.
Mumps
Measles
Rubella
Whooping Cough
Diphtheria
Tetanus
Polio
Pneumococcal
HPV

Covid could be stopped in its tracks if everyone got vaccinated.

.........................................................
Global warming..

Trump called global warming a hoax, over and over again.

Trump called Covid a hoax.

See the parallel? See the common theme? See how rejecting science kills people?

Once in 500 year storms are now an annual event, multiple times per year.

Global warming is increasing storm power and destructive effects. GW is increasing major storm frequency.

GW is hastening the northern march of invasive species to suddenly warmer climates. Killer bees anyone?

...................................................
Evolution.

One simply cannot understand modern human physiology while REJECTING evolution based off of their religious beliefs.

We are the products of millions of years of evolution.

The reason we are a cancer ridden and diabetic society today is because we deny what evolution made us.

Religious conservatives decry that the world is 5000 years old. Is that a bad attempt at comedy?

I'd laugh if it didn't affect our politics. But religion does.

Religion is on the wrong side of science. To a lethal level.

..............................
Choice. Birth Control. Abortion.

Women's healthcare and reproductive healthcare have been two advancements in medical science that set the free world apart from authoritarian dictatorships. Republicans are trying to turn the USA into an authoritarian police state that denies women ANY freedom regarding their own bodies and reproductive choice.

Conservatives HATE women that can make their own choices.

Conservatives HATE female independence.

............................................................................

Pollution, pipelines, internal combustion engines, copper-nickel mines..

This thread could go on eternally..

The simple message. Rejecting science kills.

Rejecting vaccines. Denying the destruction from pollution. Rejecting global warming science and acting upon it.

Using man-made religion to reject science.

How have so many of them been led astray?

Being on the wrong side of science has proven lethal.

There are so many important vaccines. It is such a long list that its easy to forget many of them.
