  Stop giving the morons attention.

  Might as well be using NASA to prove the Earth isn’t flat.

    If a flat earther becomes POTUS and attempts to implement policies to legitimize flat earth, it’s not a waste of resources to use NASA to deny the President’s claims.

      True.

      I’m just pointing out Canadian scientists are using time for it, when ideally shit like this should be handled by the country itself.

      It’s not about the science. They don’t believe in it and never have. Remember the Flat Earthers proved themselves wrong and still didn’t believe it.

      So it’s more to due with the psychologists and whatnot.

      The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intel gence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this address is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself… [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consist not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentatio through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reve of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure.

  I feel like the disclaimer should be waived here

    Still makes sense to cross-check information with other health agencies outside the US.

      But why should we need multiple sources to provide overwhelming evidence against what is equivalent to a senile old man shouting that cooties are caused by touching girls?

  This is a particularly nasty claim to make as acetaminophen is one of the few painkillers generally seen as safe to take during pregnancy. Ibuprofen is to be avoided after 20 weeks, and Aspirin is not recommended at all. So by making this claim it takes away one of the few painkillers left to women in pregnancy.

    I sincerely doubt that’s an accident.

    Yay! We like the bit of science we do, and I’m glad if it’s getting some trust.

    Honestly, I think America will soon just ignore the federal CDC and move to heed the California CDC as the sole source of actual medical guidance.

  This is why I voted for the other party. Both parties are not the same. The dems aren’t as far left as I would like but they are better than this by far.
