He's an educated member of the elite, so he doesn't really fit the profile. I don't think mainstream Catholicism is big on antivaxx stuff, anyway. The pope certainly wasn't.

Yeah Catholics are supposed to like vaccines

But apparently it's an open question about Lewis? Gimme a break

I don't actually know much about Lewis, he's new. That was just covering my bases so I don't get UM ACKTCHUALLY-d.

Do we have any evidence that Carney is pro-vaccine? He's been cutting all sorts of research across the board. He also flaunts his Catholicism, but the Pope is anti-AI and anti-war, Carney is neither.

Not that I know of, but that's like asking to prove a negative. He's also probably not a lot of other crazy things.

Look, I don't want to be a dick, which is why I've taken my time replying, but together with the last exchange we had it seems like you're actively looking for reasons to hate him.

And yet, you cast doubt on Lewis' position. See the issue?

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Because of proximity to Elizabeth May, who at the very least has commented on wifi causing cancer. There is a left-wing brand of anti-science.

[–] patatas@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

And there is a capitalist version of anti-science, and a religious version of anti-science, and apparently a posting-on-lemmy version of casting doubt on someone without any supporting evidence.

Carney, on the other hand, gave a convoy supporter, Joël Lightbound, a minister's portfolio, and has just welcomed anti-science Marilyn Gladu into the party with open arms.

And you're claiming that Lewis, who is in an entirely different party than Elizabeth May, has "proximity" to her? Can we acknowledge that Carney is much closer to folks with anti-science views?
