Comment on That's why it's called science fiction duh

Then let me be succinct: There was never any “science appreciation” among the general public, and if you think there was, you’re in a bubble. A specific, most likely higher educated and most likely American bubble. You’re just hearing voices outside the bubble now.

Condescending comments like your reply might contribute to the science derision though, just saying.

Nah man, this is recency bias, pre internet science was generally well regarded and respected. There is empirical evidence to support this even over just the last 10 years.

“There was never any “science appreciation” among the general public”

you are demonstrably incorrect and your confident ignorance is insulting and harmful in general.

but here I am, being the guardrail to your misinformation again:

less than a decade ago, measles was eradicated from the US.

since then, vaccinations and science in general have been maligned and you can see in national polls that scientific authority is less respected than it was a decade ago to the point that measles has been brought back and is now killing children again.

because in less than a decade, science appreciation has turned into scientific derision.

you are completely wrong here, and you are not helping anything by spreading misinformation and flaunting your ignorance of the matter.

value-added comments are what is needed.

If your comments does not add value, as your three have not in this thread, then they are value-less and should be with held.

you are adrift.

  Measles vaccinations being down can also be linked to mandatory vaccination laws being taken off the books across states during the last decade. It says nothing about the inherent levels of scientific education of the parents doing so.
  
  Previously, parents were mandated by law to have their children vaccinated at birth or to attend schools. We don’t know if they would have opted to vaccinate their kids if it wasn’t mandatory.
  
  Again, very condescending reply from you, considering correlation /= causation is a basic rule of research.

    again, your adding a valueless comment about a hypothetical unproven concern is not helpful, you’re just wasting space.
    
    here is an example of a value-added comment that supports my four comments and disproves all of your comments:
    
    One of the polls I mentioned in the last comment showing a specifically recent drop in US trust and scientific authority and institutions:
    
    pewresearch.org/…/americans-trust-in-scientists-p…
    
    instead of making things up in your head and wasting time writing an incoherent and value-less comment, you could have easily checked the information I gave you and found that you were incorrect and I was giving you valuable information.
    
    so, yeah. ya got slammed. again.

    I’m literally so confused, what are you even arguing about anymore? That Pew poll regarding scientific distrust is specifically related to the Covid pandemic, but you’re taking about measles, and also how this has been going on for a decade. Which is it, and why are the sociological elements I’ve mentioned before not value added according to your authority?
    
    All this over a simple comment about the Human Genome Project.
    
    Again, enjoy your crashout. If you feel validated, that’s all that matters ig 🤷‍♂️
