Any other mama researchers out there? Join me in a thread!!!

The most important factor in making a decision is the SOURCE of your information. Is the person speaking to the reporter or on the video or whatever educated in that specific field? If not it is wise to look for additional sources.
No matter what the consensus is there will ALWAYS be some that disagree. That can be a good thing but be careful.

Be aware also of your own bias. This is, IMO the most difficult aspect of decision making. Behavioral/Psychological scientists have determined there is confirmation bias when anyone is reviewing information. We have a natural tendency to believe what confirms what we already believe. It is hard to overcome even when we are aware of it.

Again, consider the source.

I have a nutrition medical/scientific background and dh is an accomplished chemist. We discuss and scrutinize articles in an attempt to access the reliability of the information. I strongly suggest everyone do it.

Vaccines: look at the mess we are in because we are lacking ONE vaccine. Imagine if we had none. Before I moved I worked at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I had a 13 yo patient who died from chicken pox a week before Christmas. He had not been vaccinated. There is no smallpox. We need vaccines AND we need to be aware that a small percentage of people can not take them.

MSM: They do tend to “report a topic to death” but without a free press telling us about what is happening and corruption by authority figures we would be in deeper trouble than we are.

No scientist, reporter or mom is perfect. At their very best human beings make ~ 3% error rate. That is at our very best.

So I say it is best to read, listen, look and use critical thing skills to make the best decision you can.

Right?!?! I can understand the newer Peas not realising it's parody, but I'm surprised there are some old timers who got sucked in.   

hahahah  You had me at YouTube and Doctors.... Love it!!

Omg santimommy!

Welcome back, I just love your posts! I figure you are a comedy writer or a satire writer.

If you had a candle, it would be bitch scented with notes of gwenyth Paltrow's vagina and cardamom.

sanctimommy during this pandemic I have been making a lot of home made meals and just discovered some breastmilk in my freezer from 2001.

Do you know of any recipes where I could use it? I am trying to be eco and enviromently friendly and reduce my families use of anything made outside of my home.

Hahahahaaaas. You are so cute.

Back in March, my 7 year old started studying viruses. After a day of my brilliant tutelage, he began researching vaccines. His vaccine is currently awaiting fast track approval from the FDA.

I'm sorry you care more about feeding your family lactose than saving humanity.

I clicked the thread because I love our sanctimommy so surprised to see people responding seriously, but maybe I shouldn’t have been. After all, she does sound way too much like too many real people.

Still, I think we all need to find what humor we can in these horrific times. Randy Rainbow can only make videos so fast.

I would never expose my child to the dangers of a vaccine, nor to lactose, as we are a vegan household. We do enjoy an occasional bean curd frappe with shaved ginger. 

Too true, if we didn't find some humour in all that is going on then we would all go bat shit crazy.

I found the whole thread rather hilarious 

The fact that she sounds like 45% of our once-sane country is the tragedy.
