Scientific American Backs a Presidential Candidate

Why do people keep saying Trump is a moron? This is his latest science-based insight into covid:

“With time it goes away. And you’ll develop like a herd mentality. It’s going to be herd developed, and that’s going to happen. That will all happen.”

A herd mentality?

What the...

Trump is a moron. The above citation is not meaningful in the context of what Trump describe corona virus pandemic over time.

Suddenly its all based on emotional responses from being 'attacked' so one must now go the political route?

Its bias all right. Otherwise it would continue on unabated as always with no concerns by just sticking with scientific subjects and not bothered by such distraction and nonsense.

The egregious negative attitude toward science by the Trump administration is a scientific issue.

Emotion doesn't come into it. Trump, objectively, attacks science.

- He undermines it (e.g climate change),

- He parachutes in people friendly to his politics to influence what are supposed to be scientific organisations (e.g. Caputo),

- He promotes notions that science says are unsupported (e.g. hydroxychloroquine),

- He makes stuff up and pretends it is science (e.g. bleach, light to treat Covid 19).

- He tries to manipulate the statistics by which people measure progress (e.g. Covid, again)

It is a matter of cold logic, then, to conclude that Trump is a menace to science.

Big deal.

Even if he does, whats Trump going to do?

Replace all scientific institutions with hotel complexes and churches?

I see. Endorsing an incoherent, confused, and forgetful candidate to lead a nation is practicing sound science.

Right.
Far better than a president pushing an outright anti-science agenda. You can list all of Biden's flaws, of which there many, yet there still no contest because none of it changes the fact that Trump has been nothing but a disasterous dumpster fire.

The alternative doesn't hold much promise either.

Guess everyone is screwed all the way to Sunday for the coming 4 years.

How could you not understand why a science magizine would support science over anti-science? The only "bias" science has is scientific vs. unscientific.

What a choice, eh.
One opposes it.
The other doesn't know it.

One does not need to 'know,' but to provide the leadership to consult and work with scientist to deal with scientific issues. Obama and Biden have and will do this by the evidence.

Trump has not provided the leadership and opposes science.
