Galileo was jailed for questioning religious dogma and propagating science.

This is exactly the kind of absurdist comedy that didn't exist on HN 3 years ago, equating the scientist Galileo with vaccine denialists.

Yes, you are right! You, just like the Catholic Church of 1610, are intolerant of those with differing opinions or for those that question authority. Absolutely amazing how the mere act of you scoffing at my Galileo reference actually proves my point.

At this point it looks like anything and everything proves your point.

Being scientific like Galileo makes me the Catholic church, and being anti-science like the Church makes you Galileo. Why stop at Galileo, you are also Newton and Einstein too as you keep on opposing more and more science. Donald Trump is the greatest scientist that ever lived, if only dogmatic doctors had just injected bleach and destroyed covid19.

Do you not know the story of Galileo? He claimed the earth revolved around the sun. The mainstream narrative (Catholic Church) said the opposite. Galileo contradicted the mainstream narrative (again, the church) and was put under house arrest.

You want people that ask questions about the vaccine to shut up and take the shot (that is the mainstream narrative in this example).

How again are you not the church?

You said YOU were being "scientific"...I would love to hear that explanation. I kind of also want to hear where anything I've said so far is "opposing science" as you claim.

I mean I have already conceded that you are Galileo, einstein and newton rolled in to one. Just like Galileo and flat earthers you are going against the "current dogma" . I have already acknowledged the superiority of your views. What more do you want?

My bad, I made the assumption that you could actually back up your statements. I will take this as your way of saying, "Uncle."
