I definitely agree.
Like the anesthesiologist who went on a long rant about the Covid vaccine was poison and a science experiment, because that is what aligns with his political beliefs.
Or the nurse who went on a long racist diatribe on FB (also about Covid) while trying to frame it as some sort of scientific observation. Adding that his time in healthcare made his opinion more accurate.
Just two examples from my Facebook (former) friends.
It goes both ways. Everyone is biased. Including me.
Read back what I have written. I’ve never advocated for heavy drinking and I’ve even suggested that my former 1-2 beers most nights was too much. On that note, I’ve cut down to post ski, post climb, and vacation drinking. Probably a 2/3 reduction.
