Depends

i mean, how heavily do you need to lean on the article anyway? You can always keep it in your pocket, throw a link out there, or highlight the main points. How often is this really working out when you can use the articles? Maybe you need a different approach, or youre bringing the wrong material to the wrong crowd

Oh there are multiple articles. I just want to share them and walk away.

Ideally I'd be able to share yt video where a PhD retired nurse reads off the key points from the articles (without editorializing) since I find the videos the most digestible version of those articles.

But if the mods say "yes to articles, no to somebody reading off the bullet points of the papers" I'd also be willing to work with that.

It is clear though that based on how some people here respond, they haven't even been exposed to any of the medical literature and data that challenges their ride or die assumptions about some key important issues.

I marked that person's post as trolling 3 hours ago and nothing happened.

I bring this to your attention, because you are one of a handful of people who will engage "controversial" issues with an open mind and critical thinking. And with that in mind I HIGHLY suggest you tag people who will brazenly lie about known things like my vaccination status.

And then just take note of where these same people come down on some of these "settled" topics.

Because yeah, for these people every important topic is "settled".
Origin of virus? 100% natural (despite that going against NPR, Vanity Fair, Biden Admin, etc)
Are there any alternative treatments that can be used? 100% Not a single one outside of big-pharma. (despite that conclusion going against the WHO, published medical data, etc)

The source for this 100% confirmed truth? People you just saw who will openly lie and bully those they disagree with.

I get you're frustrated being labelled something you're not even though you have provided proof of your vaccination status, but I think you need to chill a bit and take a step back. You have to take into account where you're posting and adjust your expectations of the type of engagement you will receive. Sadly the internet isnt exactly a bastion of nuanced discussion, more often than not discussions devolve into mischaracterizations and insults and a propensity to make the person you dislike/disagree with look as bad as possible. CE is no different, if I posted the stuff you posted I would expect the exact same type of demonizing.

Im not saying that makes it right, but for the sake of your own mental and emotional well-being I think it would be best if you stopped posting about this stuff unless you're emotionally prepared to face the barrage of insults, mischaracterizations, and false egregious labels cast upon your name by the usual suspects. Unless of course you secretly enjoy this sort of public flogging, in which case you might be a masochist or have a martyr complex

Scientists' goal is to uncover truth. Priests' goal is to keep people hoodwinked. The two situations are not remotely comparable.
Ideally both would be doing the former, but both do the latter all the time

Uncovering the truth is directly incompatible with the goals of a priest (or similar role). If their followers start to believe the truth instead of the church's lies, the priest's source of income is gone. You literally cannot be a priest while also spreading the truth about religion, as spreading false information is part of the job.

Whereas the whole thing about science is that it actively tries to prove itself wrong, and gives the strongest weight to cases where it is unable to do so. And if they prove one of their theories wrong, it's progress - not some kind of major sin - and it's time to figure out the new one. Which, on that note, is exactly what they were able to do with the theory that "ivermectin helps against covid".

On a side note, it's very telling that the people sticking up the most for TC here are all well-known antivaxxers. As in, the kind who directly claim that the vaccines don't actually help, or pretend that a non-100% efficacy is equal to a 0% efficacy.

This assumes that the person in power knows they are lying, which the burden of proof is on you.

Except the cases where it was stalled but most examples these days are more politically motivated and people even ignore the science there

No, I do not enjoy it. I am just an incredibly stubborn person with a dedication to things I consider to be important truths, and also a (possibly niave) perspective that "if you just phrase it perfectly, it will get through to people."

The internet isn't a great place for it, and something like twitter would be worse. And where I'm at is that I try not to make a hobby of it, my energy would likely be better spent writing a substack or something where those who might be receptive could read it and I wouldn't have to bother with the recreational arguers.

The 2 things that do "pull me back in" when it comes to CE are:
  1. There are several good/reasonable people here. I consider you among them, and it matters to me if I can share important data points with people like you that you might not know about. I don't get to make up your mind for you and I wouldn't want to. But I do like sharing important information that isn't as well known
  2. I do get kinda peeved when I am reminded of the scope of the corruption and inaccuracy of our current sense making news system. It's hard to watch somebody break down the latest study that shows 2 things, and know that for many people they will only hear 1 part of that study, and that is the part that makes big phrama money. I'm so sick of big companies just "winning" when it comes to getting to tell everybody what the truth is, even if it's bad faith bullshit. That's not how reality works, that's not how science should work. If people are lying about some important things, even if it's "anointed" people like Fauci, we as a healthy society need to be able to talk about that. I'm very pro free speech and very anti authoritarianism. And so when I see a growing trend of "science is not decided by data but by authoritarian force" I get very upset and it is hard to bite my tongue.
The world has important detail and nuance, and it just feels icky to let the bullies shape all the narratives. The bullies and the rich. The rich by setting a BS narrative, and the bullies by enforcing that narrative because they don't care about truth so much as they care about using "Truth" as a bludgeon to bully more.

You are right. I have now dealt with that accusation 5 times this month and had to post the card 3 (now 4) times:

The source for this 100% confirmed truth? People you just saw who will openly lie and bully those they disagree with.

So you saw it with your own eyes. I strongly recommend you tag the liars accordingly and weight the data you see by using critical thinking and not appeals to e-authorities.

I'd be happy to share data, without my own inference or extrapolation, if a mod can assure me that I would not get moderated just from sharing articles from peer reviewed medical journals.

But if I would get moderated just from sharing articles from peer reviewed medical journals, well then it kinda tells you the state of the discourse, doesn't it?

I have soooooooooo many questions but let me start here.. which NPR article on the origin of the virus was banned here? And which NPR data set was banned here?

For obvious reasons I'm not going to post things I think might get me modded. For a time it was "misinformation" to talk about the lab leak hypothesis, then no new data on it changed but public opinion shifted somewhat, so the exact same arguments and data points became accepted as valid by even people like the Biden administration, however some people/places haven't gotten the memo and still treat them as misinformation.

I don't want to gamble with my account that I won't get a bad mod who doesn't care about the truth and just mods based on false (and even outdated) ideas of what is "misinformation".
