Neil deGrasse Tyson on Why Certain Medical Experts Were Silenced During the COVID Pandemic "I'm not interested in medical pedigree. I'm interested in medical consensus and scientific consensus...The individual scientist does not matter." Very revealing.
Tyson is one of the most over educated morons on the planet earth. He is incapable of independent thought and refused to credit anyone who has that capacity. He would rather be wrong and surrounded by 1000 people who agree with him rather than be correct and stand alone. IDIOT!
Science by consensus is communism, not science. If one individual is not allowed to disagree and disprove the consensus, that is not science, that is enforced belief by diktat. Neil Degrasse Tyson is a confirmed communist.
Gripes. The world was flat by consensus. The solar system revolved around the ancient equivalent of this fatheads earth by consensus. Can this guy be so stupid?
I listened to that supposed “genius” asshat this morning & his entire argument was “consensus” of the likes of Faux-Xi, Birx biotch & Collins. He’s a complete clown
Tyson is painful to for me watch. Tyson comes across to me as an unscientific political hack...who can't question the consensus (even when the data and research suggests the consensus is wrong!).
I am a scientist (physicist) with over 30 years worth of publications and work in research. I'm not a top-flight scientist by any measure, but I think I've done some decent stuff.
What NDGT describes here is, to me, an utter perversion of everything I hold dear about science, and the scientific method.
"The joy of science is not in the normal, the accepted, but in finding out stuff that gives us something new"
And where did the so-called scientific "consensus" get us on covid? The most asinine and ridiculous measures imposed, none of which worked. So, NDGT, you can stick your consensus up your deGrasse.
I remember learning about “consensus” in science and medicine when I was in middle school, “consensus” that rejected important discoveries that are now foundational to our understanding of the world and universe.
Whenever I hear the terms “scientific consensus” and “peer review” (not that there isn’t any value in honest, ethical peer review), I think of Pythagoras, Aristarchus, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Kepler, Mendel, Semmelweis, Pasteur, Zweig, Boltzmann, Avogadra, Tesla...
Their discoveries and ideas were unacceptable to their peers at the time.
I really have to laugh at the irony of this man’s claims.
So the consensus was a catch-22 process? Agree with the narrative or else be disregarded, despite “medical pedigree”? Reminds me of the family standing on the porch watching the rotating wall clouds, assured of their safety by consensus, while the person with the meteorological pedigree shouts “Get in the basement now!”.
There never was a consensus. It was a "consensus" manufactured via censorship of one side of the argument.

Great moments in scientific consensus:
Eugenics
Bloodletting
Lobotomization
Forced Sterilization
*Gender Affirming Care*
What a thought leader.
The hardest thing for an arrogantly ignorant person to do is admit they were wrong.
Never forget the power of ignorant "consensus," the mob; as it played out for Galileo.

When Tyson and his ilk say "consensus" they mean "authority".
Consensus is illusory and frankly, the bastion of idiots. Galileo is on line one, he screamed, "Consensus my ass!" Then he hung up.

Del is awesome!
I'm appalled.

I credit Del with saving my life. If not for him and The Highwire I may have fallen for the bs.
Ask him to define consensus.

Tyson is a self-important clown. His pedigree is pretty much useless, due to his inflated ego attempting to overwhelm every conversation.
