Chai, with thw way you are writing, one would think you are the secretary general of WHO.

WHO does this, WHO does that.

You do not know how many times WHO and so-called scientific experts have made and retracted statements based on what is safe and not safe to be consumed.

When dumb Trump the president of the USA told people to use chloroquine, people took it seriously. Even when he told people to use bleach many died from ingesting bleach because Trump said so.

You are so obsessed with systems and structures that you can't see that most of the people at the helm of affairs of these systems don't give a Bleep about your life or that of your loved once.

As I said, science is all about evidence. Evidence has proved that Madagascar hasn't recorded a single death since the outbreak meanwhile major countries in the world you put your trust in and fly to when sick can't even combat the surging death rates.

Nobody is saying they should adopt the cure immediately but looking into it BASED ON EVIDENCE that no one has died is a step in the right direction.

You are like the man who became a professor who went and boarded a boat and started bragging to the fishermen right in the middle of the river how more learned he was than the fisherman. The storm came and it turned out he couldn't swim and had the beg the "illiterate" fisherman to save his life.

There was a time no doctor would have believed that something as simple as the washing of hands saved life. The man who made this discovery Ignaz Semmelweis was disgraced, put in an asylum, and murdered because he dared to destroy years of medical practical knowledge by telling his fellow doctors to wash their hands first before delivering a baby. You can look him up on Wikipedia.

This virus has proved that all the super countries and WHO aren't omniscient. If they did, they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the surging death rates now. Smaller countries are battling the virus better than the bladder nations of the world.

It's okay if you want to wait for WHOs cure just stop putting your faith in systems. They are manned by politicians/humans who put their interests first.

Here we go again.
I will give a C for effort.
I found it hard to follow and understand your points.
But from all the anecdotes you tried to patch up, your summary is that I should not have too much faith in systems.
First and foremost , I'm not a person of Faith, and , scientific rationalism does not rely on faith. TRUST is a better word. Trust in scientific deductions and verifiable facts.

If you don't put your TRUST in systems that are based on scientific rationalism, systems that stand the test of time, systems whose pre-eminence have been proven time and time again, systems that have a built-in audit system and therefore are accountable, ..if you don't put your TRUST in systems, then I assume you will put your trust, your faith as you say it, in witch doctors, herbalists , pastors and prophets ?
That's your choice.

I will cast my lot with the scientific rationalism.

Yeah, with the Lock down and numerous deaths, the worlds system has truly stood the test of time.

They have failed woefully my friend.


What stopped them from preparing in advance for an epidemic like this? Even the movies gave better warning signs than the garbage scientific organization called WHO.

Btw, you have no right to grade me. You must believe you are smarter than everyone but your opinion is just subjective.

Lol.
I think it's kind of childish logic to say that systems should have been better prepared for an epidemic like this.
This kind of childish logic is difficult for me to engage with.
Like I said earlier, the way most Africans reason in very shallow terms and their hostility towards science is an embarrassment to the modern era, and a sad testament to Africa's scientific and technological underdevelopment.

Let's hope that neither you nor any member of your family would have to make a medical pilgrimage to India one day for science-based lifesaving medical care when your HERBAL 'MIXTURES ' have failed you.

You have resulted to insults as no one here accepts your "mature" logic.

I tell you bro. The guy is as pointless as f*uk and just wouldn't admit it. Forming as if he knows all, while all he has been doing all along is displaying his stark ignorance.

Such irritating character.
