This whole 'experts say' thing has dogged us for long enough. Especially when they get it blatantly wrong, on many levels. Whose experts? Oh, you mean the agency who makes rules about stuff, so they can get lots of money?
Science must be able to be questioned, or it isn't science. So, the 'science is settled' is a meaningless phrase.
Further to Covid etc., I am still clandestinely waiting for a Nuremberg code hearing - much as that code was made on an International level as part of the formation of the UN, and those codes are not decided upon, by the SC.
That is: One has the fundamental right to refuse a medical 'treatment' or procedure. On the basis of not wanting it. No reason needed - so that even if the reason is religious; or because one has contra-indications; or have taken advice from second or third opinions; or did one's own research: the basic right is One's word. No means No.
And further to that: Hospitals must not take it upon themselves to punish unbelievers by a refusal to help with other procedures- that breaks all sorts of codes, including the hippocratic oath.
Nice. Thanks.
