If it means we can start applying critical thinking again, maybe

  And of course by that you mean your critical thinking which is pure and thoughtful and sublime, while their critical thinking is biased and full of crisis and smells foul because it contradicts you. Because that is what armchair discussions actually are. No real critical thinking, just scratching one's own ass.

    By definition, critical thinking is questioning what you are told. I am questioning what I am told, by assessing * Who is telling me this information? Pfizer, the FDA * Who stands to benefit from this? Pfizer, the maker of the drug, and the downstream finances from them - namely the FDA (who gets most of their funding from drug makers), lobbied politicians in DC, as well as the nightly news, which sure does seem to show a lot of ads for Pfizer products. So, from those questions, I have become skeptical. I am completely open to other lines of critical thinking, but so far I have just met resistance for questioning things at all. So who is doing critical thikning? Am I actually denigrating someone elses critical thinking? Because there seems to be relatively little of it in this thread.
