Evidently, the “scientific community” is having a garage sale. I put scientific community in quotes because, in reality what we see as the “scientific community” (see I did it again), is nothing more than an extension to special interest groups and mainstream media. I’m happy and flabbergasted (yes, I used that word) all at the same time here, so I’m not really sure where to start. This plays right into the whole concept of “sheeple”, where people flock, first in small groups, then as an entire population to concepts and ideas… usually because they can’t think for themselves. Those ideas become accepted, then backed by mainstream figure-heads, then eventually get cited as facts.
Let’s take “global warming” for instance. Okay, fine, there might be some symptoms that the earth is currently in a slight warming phase (which is not the first time this has happened), however, the pseudo-science that is driving government and the green movement to focus on changing the very fabric of our lives and costing us insane taxes is an EXTREME stretch of the actual scientific data behind the whole concept. The entire mess is steeped in political special interests, large corporation involvement and corruption.
“But wait”, says the hemp-wearing, left-wing nazi treehugger, “You must be a conspiracy theorist. Can’t you see all the nice, nerdy-looking scientists that are doing their job. They’re telling us that this is serious and that if we don’t act now, our children’s children won’t have an earth to enjoy.” Meanwhile, green movement poster-boy Gore is sitting down enjoying a nice juicy steak and living it up in a very environmentally naughty home. I guess Gore missed the memo that stated that livestock make up the majority of the greenhouse gas problem. Oh well. I guess that’s good for him, because recently, it was exposed that the IPCC was in a complete cover-up of global warming facts. Turns out “global warming” is shorthand for “Socialist Special-Interest Political Control and Finance Board”. Aw, shucks, I guess it wasn’t science after all.

So, on to a more recent issue. For quite some time there has been a heated debate over the whole mercury/autism link. My more “alternative health” associates (some probably wearing hemp), insist that mercury, in the form of thimerosal, in several vaccines are the primary cause of autism. The medical community insists that there is no proof behind that accusation and that there is much “scientific” (there, I did it again) support that there is absolutely, no way, no how, zero, zilch, nada, zero evidence that shows any link between autism and mercury.
Okay, before I continue mocking, let’s look at what we know to be true. Fact #1, mercury is a toxic poison, even in extremely small doses. Fact #2, mercury is in some of our vaccinations, at levels that are hundreds of times beyond what has been deemed safe. (Sidenote: Is there really a safe level of a poison anyway???… I’m just sayin’.) Okay, now that we have two facts that I believe everyone is comfortable with (By the way, if you don’t believe me, eat a thermometer… You’re mental hospital doctor will thank you later.)… Meanwhile, parents all over the world and country, and the alternative health community, have been complaining of mercury’s link to autism for decades. Despite Jenny McCarthy’s bare-breasted escapades and her marrying a man with a rubber face, she has valiantly put herself out there as a spokesperson on this topic. She, having a child with autism (as do I) and having done LOTS of research, decided to treat her child for the supposed “mercury poisoning” due to vaccinations… and she got results, EXTREME results. So much so, that her son is like a completely different kid. People who don’t have autistic children cannot possibly understand the nuance and struggles that autism brings, and for those symptoms to go away????
“That is what is called coincidence.”, says the book-smart, volvo-driving (wait, I actually like volvos, but I need this for the stereotype), Phd bearing, expresso-chugging, condo-dwelling bloviator, “It could have been anything that caused her son to turn around. How do you know it was actual autism? Psychologists can be wrong sometimes. Maybe just the change in diet is what fixed him. Did an actual doctor help you with this? There is no scientific link between mercury and autism. Don’t you read the medical journals? Don’t you trust your doctor when he recommends vaccinations? It’s people like you that poison the minds of innocent people into thinking that vaccinations are wrong when they are saving so many lives!!!” Whoah…
Side note: One thing to be made clear is that it’s not the vaccination itself that is the problem in question. It’s the preservative thimerosal that is put into the vaccinations.
Okay, okay, so it must be a fact then. The smart guy said it. Not to mention the media and medical doctors are putting so much effort into making Jenny McCarthy look bad. Why would they go through that much effort if they weren’t right (I hope you are sensing the sarcasm). With so many supporters of vaccinations, I suppose the only thing that would prove thimerosal as bad would be for the entire “scientific” basis on which the supporting argument was based on to completely fall apart.
Enter Dr. Paul Thorsen, quack and extortionator, being paid by the CDC to support their claims. Well, he’s now disappeared, along with $2 million and it’s now being shown that his “work” is a fraud and a scam. Most of the work in this area was based on his “findings” which are now useless. It’s conspiracy turned fact. You just can’t make this stuff up.

The history of “scientific” corruption goes way, way back. Yet for some reason, we continue to buy into it. We believe any “latest” study. Eggs are bad… no they’re good… no they’re bad… good… bad..good. AAAAARRRH!!! Don’t people recognize that the research and commercials that tels you that milk (containing hormones, blood, puss, etc…) is good for you are done by the American Dairy Association. Or that research on the questionable canola oil (coming from a normally poisonous plant) is done by the Canola Growers Association. Same thing with aspartame, MSG, etc…. The list of this kind of paid-for-science is HUGE! Now, I’m not saying that there isn’t some good research among all of this, but please at least be conscious as a consumer that most of the research done on the products you consume is done by the entity who is making the money.
Based on recent findings, here is my new “scientific” research:
Scientific Fact = 2 part money + 1 parts special interest + 200 million idiot gullible sheeple
Please, don’t be a sheeple.
