Crichton likes to play around with (and stretch) the possibilities that present themselves at the limits of scientific knowledge. And he knows how to weave together a commercially successful story. In the end, he generates more questions than answers. That's OK; questions can be useful too.

Not only have you failed to provide evidence of Hunter's guilt, you have yet to show how that would have anything to do with his father. Hunter is/was not a government official. He's not involved in creating US policy. I do find it interesting how you desperately try to deflect the conversation away from the substance of the post, i.e. that Trump's efforts at evading accountability through weaponization of government institutions has so far been nothing but a costly and immoral boondoggle.

@rainmanjr Abortion is not an infectious disease that he public need protection from. Quarantine and mandatory vaccination are not new things. Both have been employed many times in the past.

Now if you could show that the vaccine was unsafe and ineffective, then it would be a different story.

Flyingsaucesir replies on May 13, 2023:

@rainmanjr I think you misunderstand my position. I am not saying that doctors are infallible. Indeed, some really are full of shit. Witness Dr. Oz, Dr. Robert Malone, and the guy who, 20+ years ago, prescribed for me a steroid to be taken orally for the rest of my life (I never filled that prescription). But the decisions coming out of the CDC are made in consultation with many experts. They don't shoot from the hip. I'm sorry to hear you using that "forced vaccination" rhetoric. It is just the kind of talk that bolsters the alt-right, neo-Nazi, Christian nationalist, fascist ass wipes. And it's dead wrong. When you accept a job working with the public, you at least tacitly (and sometimes explicitly) agree to certain conditions or give up some rights. We got off lucky with SARS CoV-2. The next bug could be much worse. Imagine a death rate ten times higher. What then? Are you still going to insist that unvaccinated conspiracy theorists be allowed to go around infecting the populace? We should be viewing this last round as a dress rehearsal for a much more severe future challenge.

Flyingsaucesir replies on May 13, 2023:

@rainmanjr You wrote a lot so there is a lot to unpack. Ok, here goes: Yes I meant to write "thanks." Good catch. It's true that doctors sometimes say "do as I say, not as I do." However, in my experience this is rare. I think people's distrust of medicos is part of a larger pattern of anti-intellectualism that has been a part of American culture for a long time. Regrettably, a certain sector of American society has always been skeptical of book learnin'. I don't agree that the vaccines or therapies recommended by the CDC were questionable. Work on RNA vaccines had been under way for a decade before they were introduced. Yes, the last stage of testing was accelerated, but it turned out that was totally justified by the severity of the disease we were facing. And the vaccines were indeed safe and effective. That distrust of intellectuals was what 45 was tapping into. Only now that skepticism is amped up by a tsunami of disinformation online. Thus it is all the more important and necessary that the person with the bully pulpit not say crazy stupid shit. But he did. And continues to do so. What was questionable was 45 recommending sheep dewormer, UV light, and bleach as therapies. The virus did not "just go away." People are still dying frim it today, but the death rate is much lower now than it was because most of the population has some level of immunity through exposure to the live virus or through vaccination. 45 only reluctantly advocated for getting vaccinated. He hated having to do it, because it went against what his base wanted to hear. So his advocacy was tepid at best. And other elements of his response were worse; so much so that over 200,000 excess deaths are thought to be due to 45's mishandling of the crisis. In other words, Trumpty Dumpty was not right about anything except that Americans are uniquely gullible, superstitious, ignorant of science, and distrustful of experts. PS: Biden was perfectly justified in requiring federal workers to be vaccinated or be fired. Note: vaccination was not forced on anyone. Federal employees (and others not subject to federal policy) were forced to make a not-too-difficult choice. Forced vaccination was never a thing. It didn't happen. And this choice was also imposed by other entities, both public and private, for the same good reasons. Happily, the vast majority of healthcare workers, cops, and other people whose jobs bring them into contact with the public made the wise choice to keep their jobs and be vaccinated. 🙂
