When it’s clearly labeled opinion or entertainment I don’t mind. It bothers me that people search the depths of the net to find something that supports their wingnut ideas. Talking to my son who is 19 I get the impression that the youngsters aren’t such suckers. They know not to believe everything on the internet so I’m hopeful about that and also hopeful trump isn’t too popular amou in ngst the young. Since the rethugs are doing their best to kill off older people they are shooting them selves in the foot.
My friend has sent me a lot of clips that question whether the pandemic real or at least is misrepresented. To be honest I don’t usually watch, or stop after a bit. People who are “doctors” are producing all sorts of crap. I guess it’s legit for PhDs and others to use their titles, but I always check what sort of doctor they are. Many times I find they aren’t medical doctors though depending on the subject matter other kinds of scientists have good info. With an infectious disease, that’s a specialized area of medicine. He sent me an article from a DO the other day. Ok, that’s a medical person, but he was pushing the idea that the virus hadn’t been proven and talked about the testing involved. When thousands of infectious disease doctors are in agreement I’m not going to take what a DO neurosurgeon says when he claims it’s all a hoax. I’m not really sure what my friend thinks; he is taking all the precautions and I really don’t care to know exactly what he thinks because I’m sure it’s some conspiracy crap.
