Science owned

This doctor’s surgical dismantling of a right-wing bigot’s pseudo-science should be available on prescription

There’s something very satisfying about seeing bigotry, masquerading as science, being dismantled by actual science, and that’s something that TikToker Dr. Eric Burnett@dr.eric.b – is very good at.

He spotted the oft-banned @bannedbeard4, who is on his 28th TikTok account due to repeated violations, spouting some BS that was visible from space about Liv=beralism being ‘a mental disorder’.

Dr Eric was more than a match.

Where does he think the herbivores that we eat get their cholesterol?

The way people make statements with so much conviction that they believe it. Worse is that someone who doesn’t know or care to verify information will believe it.

The epitome of “makes sense if you don’t think about it”.

I had to pause it at “studies coming out of the psychological world”.

shelley bean added another scientific perspective.

Even if margarine was one molecule away from being plastic, one molecule can make all the difference one example H²O vs. H²O²
