I will never be able to convince anyone here or anywhere on the internet that the author's observations are just as possible as the present version of sight.
Well, at least you are not wrong about that.
Your problem is that you don't seem able to grasp that you cannot persude people that it is possible,
because it is impossible.
Really, what else could cause your inability here? Are you seriously suggesting that literally everybody
except you is out of step?
Yes. If science says something is correct, people, not knowing what to believe, will agree with whatever science tells us.
Actually, they DON’T. Science tells us (and YOU) that vaccines work, because the evidence SHOWS that they work. And here you are, an anti-vaxxer! Vaccines banished smallpox, measles, polio, and greatly mitigated Covid, and all of that will COME BACK if the moron you voted for and his lackey RFK Jr., get their way. Want to see your grandkids get polio, peacegirl? Do you have any idea how devastating that is? Probably not, because it is a thing of the past, because of vaccines! Derp!
Like your writer, most people are scientifically illiterate, and will believe whatever makes them feel good at a given moment.
I didn't say all vaccines were bad, but there is risk involved and therefore should never be mandated. It has to be up to the parent. I was concerned about the DPT vaccine when my kids were little. Pertussis was of concern after I read an article that the nonstop crying of a young child is a warning to never give him a second shot. Kids get so many shots in combination that it behooves researchers to carefully check for safety, not just efficacy. Adverse effects could come later, which they don't follow up on. This is a problem.
Parents have come to depend on vaccines to protect their children from a variety of diseases. Some evidence suggests, however, that vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough) and rubella (German measles) is, in a small number of cases, associated with increased risk of serious illness.
This book examines the controversy over the evidence and offers a comprehensively documented assessment of the risk of illness following immunization with vaccines against pertussis and rubella. Based on extensive review of the evidence from epidemiologic studies, case histories, studies in animals, and other sources of information, the book examines:
*The relation of pertussis vaccines to a number of serious adverse events, including encephalopathy and other central nervous system disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome, learning disabilities, and Reye syndrome.
The relation of rubella vaccines to arthritis, various neuropathies, and thrombocytopenic purpura.
The volume, which includes a description of the committee's methods for evaluating evidence and directions for future research, will be important reading for public health officials, pediatricians, researchers, and concerned parents.

Why did you bring this up? To make me look bad? Is that not a little underhanded, Pood? Are you running out of things in your toolbox to attack me with? I've also told you that Lessans did not come to these findings from astronomy. You show no interest in his demonstration. You said that when someone calls another fat, he gets conditioned, which has nothing to do with light and sight. That is incorrect. It involves words and how they are projected, which causes this conditioning to see what does not exist. Lessans explains correctly how this takes place. No other sense can be conditioned.
Someone can tell me 100 times how delicious liver is (for example) and I will disagree because my taste buds don’t like it no matter how many times I try. We can acquire a taste for some things as we get older but this is not the same thing as being conditioned to like what we don’t like because taste is a sense organ.
Someone can tell me how wonderful a perfume smells but if I don’t like the smell, I cannot be conditioned to like it because the olfactory system is a sense organ.
Someone can tell me that classical music is amazing but if it bores me, I cannot be conditioned to like it no matter how much someone raves about a particular aria. Why? Because the ear is a sense organ.
This does not work in the same way with the eyes. We are conditioned from a very early age because of words, nothing else
This is such elementary reasoning I find it shocking you cannot grasp it. The only thing I can figure is that you REFUSE to grasp it.
