Do you believe somebody can read minds?
Do you believe internet polls prove something

Show me the evidence
Peer reviewed dont mean jack if the peers are clowns
If somebody said don't look at the evidence, its peer reviewed.
I'd be very suspicious
Thats just me
Maybe when you hear the term peer reviewed, you equate that to gospel

If you are really interested in the method used in the study.

You may find fault with it, but you could at least look at it.

In a paper published today in the journal PLoS Medicine, professor of integrative biology Lauren Ancel Meyers, a computational epidemiologist, and her team at UT Austin compared publicly available census data with the number of conscientious vaccination exemptions from public, private and charter school systems across Texas.

I am thinking of changing my sig to "The mind hungers for what it feeds on". More straight forward, but it ends in a preposition. Either way, it's perfect for this forum.

You are obviously a strong believer in "my mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts"

Facts? We don't need no stinkin' facts when we talk politics. Emotion is the thing, not reality.

Finally a good response
Thanks
I read the entire article
Its really much ado about nothing
Vaccine exemption rates are based on education.
Areas with highly educated people are aware of the exemptions so the % is slightly higher.
Uneducated areas are not aware that they can try to get exemption because dumb Trumpers are dumb so the rate is lower.
This study was published way back in March
People that don't watch fox are smarter now
Trumpers that watch Tucker are getting dumber regarding vaccines

The man who shot terrorist Ashli Babbitt will sit down for an interview with Lester Holt tomorrow.

I've argued with more than one pro-gunner who said that even an unarmed person beating you with fists can be justifiably shot. Many of those people were seen attacking police with more than fists. And this crowd was moving forward. So I guess pro-gunners should have to argue this was justified.

Also in this case, since they are expected to defend congress, they can't reasonably be expected to retreat or wait for reinforcements. People were screaming about hanging people.

A buddy said he read that certain celebrities, including Brad Pitt, are not showering regularly at all now.

Apparently not showering will let your skin stay softer, longer.

Instead of a daily shower they clean their pits and crotch.
