When the weatherman says “polar vortex,” you clear the shelves of junk food. When a doctor warns of a pandemic, it’s “fake news.” How do you trust the weatherman, who’s wrong half the time, but dismiss the doctor, who’s trained to save lives? Priorities, right? - ThreadSky

I've been saying at least part of this forever... Meteorologists, & the weather person who repeats what they are told, can be wrong more often than right and have the most secure job of any of us! They stay in the same position for decades on our news channels, get great raises every year, etc! 1/

I've always said if I could do it over again and knew this I might just choose that as my profession! 😂🤣

In response to your comments, I agree! Sadly I have no idea how we correct course, esp in this country, to get everyone back to actually believing science! 🤔 This is not just a think tank 2/

behind doors & unproven. It's the best of the best who have been peer reviewed, had their theories & education tested like we can't imagine as compared to our education tested in mainstream jobs. And then they have to keep proving themselves to be the experts time & time again! 3/

But we have a fraction of the population everywhere who deny the science that's being explained for certain conditions and providing recommended actions be taken. It's incredibly sad! 😢

I hate this argument. Pitting one science against another is not helpful. There are already climate doubted that use this same comment. There's a difference between an actual forecaster and some media person making up more media palatable names for storms and the cold.
