It's interesting how many of those people who label themselves as "Skeptical" are actually not skeptical at all. They are only skeptical of things that do not fit into their current belief system. Anything that fits their belief system is embraced and encouraged without any form of critical enquiry. Not all people who are labelled as skeptical fall into this trap though, some are truly skeptical and curious for the truth, though those are rare.
If she were actually skeptical, she would have been skeptical of the claims made by big pharma, and would have seen the disparate treatment of people who were asking questions or raising concerns (at extreme personal and professional risk) versus the treatment of those towing the line of the pharmaceutical companies (who stood to make hundreds of billions of dollars). A skeptical person would see that and note that they should be particularly careful in evaluating the evidence put forward by people and organizations who stand to gain massive windfall. While remaining skeptical of contrary information, the blanket belief in the big pharma line (because "muh science") over those asking questions is not a skeptical position at all, it's a position of faith. Faith in "The Science", the religion of those who falsely call themselves "skeptical" only to cheer on the corrupted main stream "science", these imbecilic though usually highly educated acolytes of the church of Scientism will zealously pursue the heretics who doubt "The Science", particularly if it is "Climate Emergency", COVID or vaccines/allopathic medicine in general.
She was a mindless acolyte of a quasi-religious cult. Perhaps she stirred before her final passing, and died wondering "what is happening to me? I fucking loved The Science, this can't happen to me!". The chances that she realized the error she made before she died are very low. It will take many more of them to keel over before they start to realize (if they ever will).
It's pretty fucking hypocritical some of the people supporting her. Athiests for Liberty, supporting someone who has outright said that we should FORCE people to take experimental medications. The almost universal folding of supposedly Liberty focused groups, all around the world, in response to COVID has been sickening. These groups who purport to stand for freedom and liberty and the rights of men to live their lives free from unjust imposition, particularly from their government, were some of the first to roll over and shout from the rooftops that everyone must be jabbed, by force if necessary. Fuck them!
Damnit... I'm supposed to be getting some work done!
It’s that preferential bias they adhere to so that they can’t see any other possibilities.
