Tje people who don't understand the Onion is satire are why the Onion exists.

For me, wearing a mask is a bonus. 1/ Half the makeup. 2/ match my outfit. 3/ Walk around with my mouth hanging open. 4/ ninja status
Mortalitor
The ironic part is I just shared this on Facebook. Maybe my family will listen if I never shut up about it.

Daily reminder to cover your damn nose too
jinglejemmy234
I really can't understand why this is still a mystery to some people. It's less comfortable to wear the mask with a dick-nose and less safe
laughinggas
I will never get why wearing masks in public is a big ordeal...it stops pollen ,pollutants as well ,there is no downside to it literally
CyanideBreathMint
Because it wasn't their idea.

Anyone that slaps you with the percentage as not a bit deal, clap back with the numbers. 4.43 million have died worldwide.
VaultGirl69
Any mask is better than no mask. Swiss cheese model. Do everything you can. You can survive minor inconveniences for public health.
WoodHandle
Just got response on reddit saying "what about the 50k dead due to the vaccine" smfh.
CraftyGiant
I'm so tired of that shit.
confanity
Nobody WANTS to get news from The Onion. It's just that they have a hard time writing satire so stupid and evil that the GOP don't match it.
CandidGamera
Science IS politics now. As sad as it is, it's fact and it's high time science realizes that and learns to play the game.
sleepinggreenidea
They're correct that peer-reviewed science is how to get accurate info. They're unfortunately incorrect in saying that CDC is a good source
sleepinggreenidea
of interpretation of that. The CDC is deeply politicized & is more concerned with political outcomes than with public health outcomes. Alas.
sleepinggreenidea
So while they may be giving out good info, if it's not politically expedient they won't. See e.g. last spring when globally epidemiologists
sleepinggreenidea
generally agreed we needed *at least* 1y more of indoor masking regardless of vaccination status, but the CDC was saying "hot vax summer!!!"
unkiereamus
I'll take the Onion over the others...

If you get your news from The Onion then I have a house I'd like to sell you.

Just watched a speech from sacha baron cohen about this /similar to this, its really good
OBM1
People get their information from The Onion? Did an Onion Editor put you up to this inclusion in your list? Hmmm????
Draiki
I would also argue that without some education, reading peer reviewed studies is not easy and you should still listen to experts.
Beefkins
We are against conclusion-shopping morons that get their info from knuckle-draggers in echo chambers and YouTube. It's an uphill slog.
wellladeedaa
I couldn't help but notice imgur isn't listed trusted site BUT not on the dubious site list either

OuchMouse
Only part I disagree with is not getting information from The Onion. Just wait a bit, whatever they report eventually becomes true.
pfshfine
This truly is the stupidest timeline.
Havok707
I'll also disagree on "It stops the spread", Delta doesnt give a damn, you just become a healthy carrier instead.
DrBobTheNetGynecologist
You are free to disagree with proven medical fact, we'd prefer it if you came up with ideas of how to stop an extremely mutagenic virus tho'

lionheart117
How dare you lump The Onion in with the likes of Facegram and Instabook!
Jonsse
Technically speaking Reddit is also on that list of places where you shouldn't get your information from.
GodsFoot
I disagree. The Onion is accurate, just reports a but early before the satire becomes reality. The rest is true
Utecr
Fuckin’ hate the “it’s only one percent” folks. They tell me they failed math without telling me they failed math.
pygmypufftrampstamp
for context, decimated means "killed 1 in 10" and most people agree that is very bad. "1 in 100" is still horrible odds. Have 300 friends /1
pygmypufftrampstamp
on your friends list? Pick 3 to die. /2
NaughtButOne
They had the same rhetoric when it was 3%. "It's only 3% fatal!" Okay, here's a twofer. One of them is laced with ricin. Good luck.
atomicsockmonkey
Make them a sandwich with 1% dog shit.
XarioWithoutALastName
Still better than a 5% dog shit sandwich, right?
Arkvoodle
They result to insulting you because your data directly contradicts their bullshit beliefs that make them feel better than experts.
mity0k23
They *resort* to insults because any data requires to be thought about, while they’re feeling about their bullshit. Wrong address.

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing

I'm sure 1000s of drs are against the vaccine, but people seem to forget that beeing a dr doesn't make you an immunologist or 1/
buddhagrinch
Covid expert and being a dr doesn't make you immune to being an idiot.
DrBlackJack
I just had to explain to s bunch of people that saying a journal is peer reviewed is not nearly enough. As impressive as the "American
spicepoet
A submission can also be peer reviewed, then found to be crap. To a lesser degree it can be needing work and currently not worth publishing.
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
Yea, well.. journal written by a moron can be also reviewed by his/her peer.. so by another moron.
CandidGamera
That's a truism, but the reality is a shady "peer-review mill" industry exists and is a huge problem for science communication.
DrBlackJack
Journal of Therapeutics, a peer reviewed journal" sounds it scores a 2.6 on the journal impact score, putting in on par with your average
FullBrindleJacket
Where can one find journal impact scores?
DrBlackJack
Just google the journal in question.
DrBlackJack
tabloid, so no, i do not consider it a reputable source for an argument that ivermectin, a parasite medication, treats covid.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Also from the numbers side, can you really straight face say it works when your odds ratio is 0.? To 0.99
DrBlackJack
Just saying something is peer reviewed is not enough, also find out how reputable it is!
typointhetitle
He's got a point and a +1
CandidGamera
Thank you. The reality of science (well, academia really) sadly isn't as clear-cut positive as some "science advocates" tend to suggest. ->
CandidGamera
<- Hence why promoting critical thinking as baseline scientific method is more valuable than going "believe science!"
MagicalScientist
...is that out of 10?
DrBlackJack
Nope, 10 is a great score, but basically the minimum you want an actual medical journal to score at.
lettuceleavesblowinginthewind
Where do you find a journal’s score? Are they all graded?
DoctorSniffles
You can Google it for any journal. Keep in mind the impact score is basically a measure of how often a particular journal is cited by other¹
DrBlackJack
Only about 2% of journals score a 10 or higher, but when you consider there are literally hundreds of thousands of "peer reviewed journals"
DrBlackJack
narrowing it down to the top 2% is a good starting point. Though it does depend on the subject matter, really obscure subjects might score
