Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐

  Yeah that all would be great but people are uneducated -> regressive populists get voted in -> cut education because rhey want people dumb to vote for them -> repeat cycle.

    but people are uneducated

    So you’re not? OK, as you say.

    I’m not subscribing to such statements, personally. I see varying levels of education around, and I see my job as educating when I can, learning when I can.

      Purposely misreading someone else’s comment is not the way to proclaim you’re among the educated…

        I’m not. As I said, I think people have varying degrees of education. I’m not separating between “us” and “them” in terms of education. I don’t make generalised statements of what happens on a global scale without good research into tge subkect either.

        But simple things such as “we need to make education a social priority” is within my reach.

      I get his meaning. I don’t see how you don’t just because he forgot one word.

      So pedantic.

      May to mischaracterise. I never claimed anything about myself. Bu I do know one thing. I would not vote for people who campaign on reducing education access.
