I find that's a usable expression
"If you can question it, it's science, if you can't it's propaganda."
The question coming to mind is "who is cutting out whom?" As I see it, people who resist testing and jabbing must take the consequences of being excluded from their used circle of colleagues and friends. That seems to be a very high risk decision. Companies circumvented the problem through making it possible to work from home. In this way, the problem is delayed until the moment the leading boards are pressured to make a decision on their own.
Questioning science means for me questioning myself. For I cannot split what is to be find in the scientific field from what I think myself. In the end, there is no one I can rely on other than myself. This may lead into the result that I indeed find myself in a very lonely place. People differ a lot in how much isolation they can bear. If the limit is reached one will decide from there. I realize that my life changed a lot. While in the first year I still was not hesitant to go into the public or visit friends and relatives easily, it started to change. My spontaneity suffered a lot and it happened that I decided against visiting someone for the fear that the chain of happenings would begin to start. Will someone get sick? Will they be tested? Will they be asked with whom they were in contact? Will they give my name? Not really knowing becomes a nagging problem.
So it's trust, isn't it? Nowadays I can only be relaxed with people I truly trust. Where I lack it, I avoid contact. Though I feel this is not good for me, I seem to be blocked. I hate to admit that this damaged my mental stability. So I try to gain it back and do what I can to build bridges.
I am going to meet a friend of mine with whom I had a lot of discussions until the contact broke for almost a year now. I am having hopes to establish a more relaxed and peaceful meeting and that we will part in friendship.
Do you have any examples where it happened to you that coming to terms even though opinions differ, took place?
