Science can answer many questions effectively but it still proceeds from assumptions. If two scientists (Jha v. Bhattacharya) start from different assumptions, they will arrive 'scientifically' at different conclusions.

One set of assumptions says that if more people live longer, that's better.

The other assumes that large human die-offs are no big deal, and it is better not to impact the survivors quality of life.

Obviously, neither of those black/white assumptions is accurate or really represents anybody's viewpoint. The truth, of course, lies somewhere in between. Nobody takes the position that "large human die-offs are no big deal" but equally, nobody can take the position that a million people should suffer drastically reduced quality of life to give one 87 year old an extra 3 years of life.

Regardless, your post illustrates perfectly how "science" and "education" is almost by definition influenced by opinion, rendering the "you're anti-education or anti-science" cudgel used by many to attack those who disagree with them, as disingenuous nonsense.

Biden took one of my shoes and hid it somewhere in my house. Right after I gave up looking and bought a whole new pair, it showed up under the bed.

Thanks a lot Biden.

I don’t get it.
But what did you think about Sleepy Joe? Do you not find Trump to be quite introspective to have called him Sleepy Joe 6 years ago?
How did he know? Y’all say he doesn’t know anything?!?! So confusing.
Hey I’m going to tell you about the cannibals eating Biden’s uncle on another thread
