OPINION:
The Democrats, with help of the liberal mainstream media and politically partisan federal and administration directors, control two very important topics: climate change and COVID-19. Not only are there many unknowns about these subjects, but there are also significant areas in which we see opposing views from credible physicians, researchers and scientists.
Rather than having open and honest debates in which real facts are shared, we have had a complete shutdown of the opposition. In fact, global warming rhetoric ignores the previous and more recent record-low temperatures and high levels of snow.
In the case of COVID-19, clearly the vaccine trial study data that was provided to the Food and Drug Administration was inadequate to justify giving the shot to infants and children under age 5. They have no proof as to a safe and effective dose for small children; neither do they have proof of a lack of serious side effects.
First, we need fair and open debates utilizing proven data. Second, we cannot allow federal or Biden administration directors to make politically partisan, rash decisions when there is major opposition from credible individuals and sources. Third, research results on important topics need to meet high standards before being accepted for general or selected use.
