Ah, QAnon. That most trusted and believable group of people ever.
The Meghan conspiracy theories remind me a lot of QAnon these days. There was a whole account on Twitter dedicated to sharing cryptic messages from an ‘insider’ that foretold her downfall and removal from the royal family completelyAh, QAnon. That most trusted and believable group of people ever.
I believe much of it originates from the 90's trend for claims of ritual 'satanic' child abuse. The idea of is so horrifying that it was attractive to both lunatics and those looking for the worst thing that they could accuse anyone of in any kind of vendetta. From Hilary Clinton to a random father trying to get access to his children, accusations of this kind are seen as the 'killer blow'. It's still going on today but this video talks about where it probably started ...It's heartbreaking that child trafficking is a real issue but it baffles me as to where these rumours start. It just undermines the real and disgusting fact that it does happen. Whoever starts this tit has a sick mind, in my opinion. Nobody normal wants to think about children in danger and being abused.
I don’t care for Meghan but I genuinely believe a lot of people don’t like her solely because she’s American and mixed race. Like they make up ridiculous stories about her and nod their head agreement that she is a bleep, yet they know nothing about her other than the news stories they’re being fed by her family members who don’t get along with her and newspapers and sites who have known to be racist and bias have wrote about her.The Meghan conspiracy theories

I've thought about this quite a lot. The word 'research' means something slightly different in a scientific context as opposed to in everyday use. You might say you researched which microwave to buy but, to a scientist, what you actually did was do some reading. It's kind of like the word 'theory' - in everyday use it means a hunch or a guess, whereas in a scientific context it's a falsifiable explanation for a natural phenomenon that has been tested over and over again.View attachment 754497

Most are not anti vaxxers.Their idea of research is finding something they agree with and stating it as the truth.
They are not anti vaccination because they’re a believer in science they’re an anti vaxxer because they’re believers in themselves.
I watched her interview with Oprah. I think race was a huge part of what she went through more so then the fact she was American. She said that she was even asked how dark her child would be and I honestly believed her.I don’t care for Meghan but I genuinely believe a lot of people don’t like her solely because she’s American and mixed race. Like they make up ridiculous stories about her and nod their head agreement that she is a bleep, yet they know nothing about her other than the news stories they’re being fed by her family members who don’t get along with her and newspapers and sites who have known to be racist and bias have wrote about her.
Her family aren’t nice people. If she was my sister, I wouldn’t talk badly about her, never mind publicly, even if I didn’t get along with her. No wonder she won’t speak to them or have a relationship with them as they’re willing to run to the papers and reality tv to talk about how she is horrible and to pander to an audience with stories about her childhood and how she is in real life, when she doesn’t give them the attention and money they’re craving. It would kill me to betray my sister or any of my siblings in such a way. There’s no wonder she wants nothing to do with her dad as he is willing to leak personal letters just for money and attention. No parent should act like that, no one should outcast and treat their child with monetary value.
Personally I believe half of the stories that come out about Meghan is from the Royal family themselves to divert attention from creepy Andrew. As I notice the Meghan stories go into overdrive whenever Andrews pedophile stories and friendship with Epstein is main focus news.
I don't as a rule post here anymore, but exactly this. I don't profess to be a scientist and conducting my own experiments. But I do look at the works of scientists and the medical field and read their papers. Those posters who laugh at people like me and post things like that silly meme don't actually look at anything other than the first google results themselvesI've thought about this quite a lot.

I am a research scientist (not medical and fairly low in the food chain in my field). I hope nobody who is reading stuff on the internet genuinely thinks they are doing scientific research as that completely undermines my job. Reading literature with a critical eye (and I mean scientific literature, not random websites) is hugely important, but ultimately scientific research is all about designing your own experiments, collecting your own data and then interpreting your results. However, I like to think most people are using 'research' in the everyday context.
That's horrifying!This might belong here. Disgraceful, but I’m sure some people will have an issue with it being the BBC…
