Q: Medicine has had an influx of females and it is well known that women, on average, tend toward agreeableness and less direct, how much of the catastrophic and authoritative COVID response was due to a wave of toxic femininity in medicine?

Dimming the sun is a violation of informed consent — Bret Weinstein and
Heather Heying explain why this is not a good idea on Episode #273 of The Evolutionary Lens.

The UK is moving forward with plans to dim the sun, because apparently we learned nothing from Covid, and informed consent is optional.

The middle ground scramble continues. Elites redefine their positions as if they had it right all along, and explain why they definitely need to be in charge of more stuff. We have been waiting for the reckoning; instead we are getting the anti-reckoning. Herein: how science isn’t done, why the scientific method is for everyone, and evidence that most who consider themselves elite don’t understand science. Also: the UK is moving forward with plans to dim the sun, because apparently we learned nothing from Covid, and informed consent is optional.
