It's the vaxers who don't trust real science. Those who are pushing the shot withhold information, falsify statics, and censor any information that doesn't support their narrative. They tell people to trust THE science, but there is no such thing as THE science. Science is based on questioning, researching and debating. When differing views are censored, it's not science.
Many people see what's going on. In fact, it's obvious that none of this crap was every about human health.
Even doctors are just following orders. They can lose their jobs and even their licenses for diverging from the protocols or even speaking out.
I think it's ironic how those many Democrats who blindly obey orders and believe whatever the party says project their blind attitudes on anyone who doesn't agree with them. They merely parrot what they hear in mainstream media. Their reasons for supporting totalitarian "emergency measures" and mandatory shots are based on party partisanship, not informed opinion.
As a former Democrat, I'll say that the Democratic party has become the party of totalitarianism. As one who always considered himself to be a strong liberal, I'll say that I no longer want to be associated with what so-called liberalism has become even though it's not my values that have changed. And I quit consuming twenty years ago because I realized that it was a unified propaganda echo chamber that is designed to manufacture consensus. It's all owned by 5 or 6 mega-corporations who have incestuous relationships with each other and are controlled by the same few major stock holders, primarily Goldman Sachs and Blackrock. They are all quietly pushing the Great Reset/New World Order/One World Government agenda.
Yeah, many Republicans are stupid and guided by partisan politics, too. But the majority of people who refuse comply with immoral, unconstitutional coercion are just simply smart and informed. That includes people across the political and ideological spectrum. They see where this road is leading.

When people riot coast to coast all summer in 2020, and don’t social distance, and spit on police and then I’m told that the uptick in Covid cases that summer was strictly due to the Sturgis bike rally in middle of nowhere in South Dakota and this can be scientifically proven…. makes the “science” a little hard to trust.
I guess when we’re told that masks don’t help stop the spread of Covid and were forced to wear them anyway by law in many places and the ones I wear at work say right on the box that they don’t protect from Covid but we have to wear them anyway to stop the spread of Covid…I guess at that point I have questions.
When you need me to get a vaccine so your vaccine can work…again, questions.
When we lock down entire nations or major parts of them to “flatten the curve,” but yet Covid has still spread globally and new variants are popping up all the time I have to ask…does this work and is it necessary?
When the people who make the vaccines are immune from law suits and prosecution and made certain to get that in writing…. but I’m told the vaccine is perfectly safe…. I have to ask, why is it necessary for those companies to obtain such an agreement? After all, it’s perfectly safe. Safe enough to force nearly everyone to take. Have they no faith in their product?
When the one of the worlds largest virology labs is where the epicenter of the pandemic is located, and it’s in a totalitarian country where such things are poorly managed and controlled. And SARS was also proven to have escaped from a lab in the same country around 2004, which no one disputes, and then I’m told the disease causing the pandemic originated at a wet market…sorry, I got questions.
I’m assuming your question is in relation to Covid. I don’t mistrust science. I don’t think most Republicans or conservatives do either. What I do think is that there are a lot of things that don’t seem to square up. A lot of things that look like manipulation and lies. So, maybe it’s more I and we don’t believe the information we’re being given and don’t trust those who are giving it to us.
Because liberals state theory as fact :
1) Global Warming is still a theory (weak one too)
2) Evolution is still a theory (missing link has never been found) Show me a Half fish/half frog.
3) Guns shooting people on their own (sorry Alec Baldwin, that is impossible)
4) Sex with a male is always rape.(Nope)
5) Homosexuals are born that way (not proven)
6) That a Fetus is a blob of tissue to justify murder
7) God doesn't exist (No way the world exists by an accident) Accidents are not that detailed.
Now Liberals think Bible was made up by one man that was bored and their were no witnesses. We think that way about Mainstream media. They just make it all up with no witnesses and made up sources. Now we can prove lies made by media, you liberals really can't about the bible. You can hope they are lies and you can just say they are lies, but you can't prove they are lies.
There's a number of reasons
1. A scientist was wrong once. Science once said the earth was flat so they can't be trusted.
2. Scientists don't always agree with each other so they must be wrong
3. Scientists keep changing their minds, they once said the earth round but now we know it's flat.
4. Scientists went to university, those are communist brainwash camps.
5. My mummy and daddy told me what's right and wrong, no scientist can change that.

i don't think they distrust science. i think they don't understand science. i think what they actually distrust is media and politics that claim to use "science" to legitimate decisions. and rightfully so, because historically, government has never used science to help people. it has always missused science to legitimate atrocities.
i mean you shouldn't "trust" science. you should read it and think for yourself and compare with other publications as well as checking for conflicts of interest. just taking a source that says a certain thing and calling that "science" (which is what the media and politics do) is not at all what science is.
when the government says "we want to help you", you can be 100% sure that they do not want to help you. they want to push you to agree with stuff that certain interestgroups paid politicians to propagate. i don't know why this is suddenly a novelty "conspiratory" thought. it has always been that way.This started in the 1980s with the "reagan coalition" ... which was dumb arse backwards hillbilly rednecks and Rockefeller republican high finance smart arse dumb fks from NYC. This was a winning hand for decades. And the Rockefeller boys knew they could only maintain the coalition by manufacturing a bunch more dumb bunny hillbillies. So all the kids I grew up with followed exactly what their TeeVee told them to do. Be dumb. Stay drunk. Watch sports. Abuse your family. Go in to debt. Bark and yap like a stupid puppy dog in to your old age for Mr Charlie. Worked like a charm didn't it. It was so effective it manufactured millions of brain dead Nazis that scared the Rockefeller Republicans so bad that they switched to that old white supremacist jackass Biden.
My guess is the Republicans are in deep sh*t. But don't tell them that, because according to them, they're always right and can never be wrong about anything. Classic Narcissist Personality Disorder NPD on a mass societal scale.I think it’s a human reaction to respond negatively when an entire subset of people become inflammatory towards ones values. The party of science (a. k. a the Democrats) constantly belittle the sheer existence of Republicans. I personally believe the objection is geared towards a defense mechanism rather than a finite stance against science. It’s emotional rather than logical.
Also, I personal question the validity of the Democratic marketing slogan of science when I see such subjection in what’s factual and not. An example is the concept of multiple genders. What we also fail to realize is that science is fluid and therefore forever changing. The Democrats don’t have a patent on science.
It’s easy to subscribe masses of people to a particular ideology when the subject matter is complex. The barrier to entry is high considering most people don’t understand the facts behind what’s being conveyed. So they listen to others that seem to know what they are talking about. Most people are captured towards a particular narrative by emotion. Media networks are great at this. I see this in economics a lot.
Your posts are solely jabs are Republicans. It’s as if your entire identity is surrounded by this. It’s easy to get caught up in the rabbit hole, but this honestly doesn’t seem healthy. You’re going to render yourself absent to critical thought if you keep going down this trajectory.Part of being a right-winger is concluding that your own thoughts and ideas and "research" are as good or better than anyone else's, and you will be damned if you will let anyone else tell you anything even if they are trying to help you. You are always right, and you never, ever admit to making mistakes or apologize. You are an expert on all things, and nobody else knows more than you do. You never ask for or need help.
This is why, among other things, you are "self-reliant", have no sympathy or empathy for others (they are "weak"), and don't go to doctors unless you are half-dead and all your "home remedies" have failed and your wife is insisting. You measure success in others by how much money they have, and the more money they have, the more credible you think they are. You think the government is unnecessary and evil unless it works to help you make money. You think that cooperation with others is communism, and taxation is theft. You trust almost nobody.
People like those I have described, and there are many of them, don't believe that vaccines can keep them from being ill, and worry that vaccines are just another way that others are plotting to injure and/or kill them, or even worse, take their money or their guns. There is absolutely NO way to change their minds about these things and many of them would rather die than be vaccinated - literally.That's kind of biggoted to impose that on people you don't know. Most of the distrust from republicans or conservatives is literally directly linked to Faucci or the mainstream media who have been consistently wrong and inconsistent about Covid. Faucci has contradicted himself and lied on too many occasions and is directly responsible for COVID-19 existing. A lot of distrust of the media is also based on how they politicized the entire pandemic with covering up or censoring any information that contradicts what they put out, covering for Faucci, being against vaccines until Biden was President, denial of natural immunity, openly slandering people who use alternative treatment to a vaccine like Joe Rogan, advocating for vaccine mandates for COVID even though that's never been before for far worse diseases, creating slanderous terms like antivaxxers despite the fact that most people are up to date on their shots and just refusing the Covid shot because there's no liability for any side effects on the manufacturers, and flip flopping on the topic and betraying the trust of people who do take the vaccines. There's a lot to doubt and part of science is actually inquiring and challenging was is known to expand your knowledge on it.
because science has been politicized, And made for forward a left wing agenda, for example there was a study that was berried by brown university that subjected that rapid onset gender dysphoria is more of a result of there piers and societal pressure to transition when it peer groups that has caused the up tick in cases we’ve seen over the last few year and it’s not genetic, but because it “ promotes bigotry“. They Barry the study. There are more examples but this is why we don’t trust science anymore and Fauci says he’s the science and we definitely don’t trust him with our lives
The entire point of science is to be able to question it, and have the other person answer your question satisfactorily. Yet social media giants are forbidding the questioning of said "science." Fauci said questioning him was questioning science.
That's not science. That's religion.
To be clear, I very much like science. But what's going on isn't science. It's some sort of weird new religion.
As to why I don't trust my doctor, I don't know them. It's not like they come to my house for dinner or play golf with them. Meanwhile, they go to dinner, chat on the phone, and play golf with pharmaceutical representatives (aka lobbyists).First of all, a poll doesn't mean shit.
Second of all, people SHOULD be skeptical of science. That's what science is all about. The day that people are not skeptical about science is the day that real science no longer exists.
In my life I've seen LOTS of things that were supposedly true, but later turned out not to be true. In some cases it turned out to be the opposite of what scientists were originally saying.
OK, let's look at your question. You are making broad statements as if they are true. "Nearly half of Republivans distrust science". Is this statement scientific? Nope, not even close.Because science isn't some hivemind. Different scientists often come to quite different conclusions in their studies. "Trusting the science" essentially means to blindly follow a cognitive dissonance.
Or do you mean trusting the science means just following the public figures? Because that is not "the science", but a specific part of it.
And last but not least - peer review and modern science is very flawed and very corrupted at this point. While there are many very good and genuine scientists, there are definitely more than a handful corrupt ones.Every war needs its civillians to carry on the peace after the war is over, memories sheltered by remaining isolated from the experience. The one war - the War - that we are all fighting is the War against that beautiful horrifying (genderless) bitch called Nature. And scientists are the ones who are on the front lines of this War.
But then scientists started getting paid a lot for it so the civilians wanted in. Sadly, they weren't equipped with the sort of knowledge that could be useful to scientific advancement so they turned to the knowledge they do have: religion and right wing misinformation. It upsets them that none of their magical thinking is helping in the effort to beat back nature and so they instead try to beat back scientists."Science." Democrats lie about science all the time. They deny all the deaths and vaccine injuries from the covid vaccines. When posting links to it (actual death of someone I personally knew that was killed by the first Pfizer shot) and my aunt getting sick from the second shot, it gets removed and it is claimed to be "misinformation."
Plenty of doctors are untrustworthy. They give out prescriptions and try to push certain drugs for profits. Many of them don't care about their patient's actual health, only what profit they can make.When science is a political tool, makes people not trust it. Truth is if the vaccine was 100% safe, Biden would of removed the legal protections preventing lawsuits from serious side effects.
Keep in mind Trump actually put those legal protections in, therefore since Biden has tried to undo everything Trump did, why did he not undo this?
Since he has not removed that, it means it isn't actually as safe as they say.Every human reaches a point where they have been lied to, up to the point, where they don't believe anything. Good luck on your journey. And I might observe that half of the democrats don't understand wealth creation and don't understand that what the government is doing now is fraud. We used to issue treasury debt into the public market and people would use accumulated wealth to buy it. Now we issue debt and the Federal Reserve buys the debt and prints money. It is a house of cards and will fail.
They don’t distrust science, they’re sceptical because scientists and scientific results can be bought.
There are many examples of this.
Big tobacco paid scientists and doctors to speak favourably about cigarettes. In the past doctors were prescribing cigarettes to patients claiming that they were good for the lungs.
Manufacturers of formula milk paid them so that they’d claim that formula is better and more healthy than breast milk.
The sugar industry paid scientists to blame fat for the health issues caused by sugar.
Plenty of other examples, big oil, big tobacco, big pharma etc.
Pfizer, J&J, Moderna, all have been fined in the past for bribing and lying. Pfizer being the heaviest fined/worst of the three.I mean let's be honest.
All their leaders are claiming education and science are a conspiracy to brain wash them into being a left winger.
It seems they been trying to keep their voters uneducated and believe whatever they say.
Ya think it's working?🤔Reading some of these answers, it's amazing how people can assume they know what an entire group of people are thinking, and be so off the mark. I can't say why some people distrust science, I can't speak for them. I'm sure this is about the vaccine. Not getting the vaccine was a decision I came to with my doctor.
We don't distrust science we distrust large companies trying to sling their bullshit on us and the government trying to strong arm us into it.
And I dont care if the vaccine is safe and effective which frankly we don't have enough data to determine on the MRNA vaccines. The government does not have the right to force a medical procedure onto anyone. How whould you like it if the government forced you to get a vasectomy or your tubes tied. Your setting a precedent with this vaccine mandate shit that will enable them to do that to you.Because they're authoritarians and have been told to distrust science for the last couple of generations.
That, and they're dying to own the libs.Science is continuous study and learning, its not always 100% accurate and is often manipulated by large Corporations for long-term financial security.
I am fully vaccinated and believe it was necessary, but I also believe adults should be free to choose vaccination and not be forced.Because it’s been politicized. As soon as someone says the science is settled they break the first rule of science. The entire Covid pandemic I’ve been following people who the mainstream media label as “anti-science” and they’ve been months ahead of the government “experts” Every. Single. Time. It’s far beyond dumb luck. If some dude on YouTube knows better than the entire Covid response teams of most countries, we’re in trouble.
