critical thinking = = is an agent of true scientif
Aug 24^th, 2022 at 10:03am

critical thinking = = is an agent of true 'scientific method' [which supports and embraces the factor of integrity within any process of inquiry]

Critical thinking [and true science aka open and unbiased inquiry], respects and honours truth telling.

It abhors deceit, and abhors the hiding of a malefaction [wrongdoing] process.

agent = = a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect.

Quote:

What is critical thinking?

Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write.

The term critical comes from the Greek word kritikos meaning “able to judge or discern”.

"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name."
- Confucius

"Errors do not cease to be errors simply because they’re ratified into law."
- E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly,

"If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error."
- J.S. Mill - English philosopher - on people who try to silence opinions with which they disagree

Application of error, has caused so much of human suffering.
Errors hidden in darkness, perpetuate themselves.
Only full and open examination [i.e. light!], is able to expose error and thereby allow its mindful rejection.

there is a difference between critical thinking and succumbing to conspiracy theories. Roll Eyes

When the the COVID-19 vaccination(s) became available in Australia, governments, and medical authorities [in Australia] stated publicly, that receiving the COVID-19 vaccination would 'protect you'.

And prevent you from getting the COVID-19 infection.
[later, they claimed that getting the COVID-19 vaccination would prevent you from getting very sick, with COVID]

And yet, many, many, many, many people who received the COVID-19 vaccination, THEN, got the COVID-19 infection [according to PCR test results],
AND, some of those persons [even after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination(s)] died of COVID [according to PCR test results].

But persons like yourself now choose to present those facts, as a concocted 'conspiracy theory'.

Why are you doing that ?

thats doesn't mean you should turn off your brain.

No vaccine offers 100% protection. They never have and they never will. Pretending that it's some sort of conspiracy because some politician used the wrong terminology shows a distinct LACK OFF critical thinking

so? they're merely repeating what they've heard others say. It doesn't matter how often it is repeated, vaccines have never been 100% effective.

Critical thinking....

"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name."
- Confucius

They were not vaccines.

Those injections are putting 'something' into the bodies of those who are willingly rolling up their sleeves.

But those injections do not fit the dictionary definition of a 'vaccine'.

I know what a 'vaccine' is.

I know that a 'vaccine' always did, and does, produce immunity against a disease.

"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name."
- Confucius

And i know that a REAL 'vaccine' is a very safe product, and a REAL 'vaccine' rarely causes any harmful reaction or death.

But these injections [provided under the guise of being a 'vaccine'] have caused many thousands of deaths in people who were injected with their contents.

.

From the Oxford Dictionary.....

WORDS.....

vaccinate

immunise

immune

------ >

n.b.
EXAMINE THE TRADITIONAL, AND REAL DEFINITION,
OF THE WORD VACCINATE !!!!!

Dictionary;
vaccinate = = treat with a vaccine to produce immunity against a disease.

Dictionary;
immunise = = make immune to infection, typically by inoculation.

Dictionary;
immune = =
1 resistant to a particular infection owing to the presence of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells.
2 not susceptible.

[/quote]

Pfiser, and Moderna, et al, imo, are not supplying the world, with any kind of product which could be characterised as being a 'VACCINE'.

i.e.
Because everyone knows that these products [these 'injections'] do not 'work' [as vaccines, they do not protect, against 'COVID', whatever 'COVID' is] !!

AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT !!!!

YET, THE VAST MAJORITY, REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

AND, THE VAST MAJORITY, ARE GOING ALONG [to get along] WITH THE EMPEROR WEARING NO CLOTHES.

EMPEROR, ....NO CLOTHES.

"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name."
- Confucius

They are NOT vaccines.

There is no cure for polio, but it can be prevented with safe and effective vaccination. Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) is the only polio vaccine that has been given in the United States since 2000. It is given by shot in the arm or leg, depending on the person’s age. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) is used in other countries.
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/polio/index.html

Two vaccines in the United States help prevent whooping cough: DTaP and Tdap. These vaccines also provide protection against tetanus and diphtheria. Children younger than 7 years old get DTaP, while older children, teens, and adults get Tdap.
https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/vaccines.html#:~:text=Two%20vaccines%20in%20the%20...

The Bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine is primarily used to prevent tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease in settings with high TB incidence.
