This is not very good as a meme (what's new?). In Galileo's day there were no "top scientific minds". There was just the church. Using a telescope was heretical.

Galileo's observations was the science. Now you are comparing the anti-vaxers with science?

The logic is "we don't know what is going to happen a few years from now" so let's not vaccinate? A few years from now is too late to vaccinate. The implication is that the scientific approach to a pandemic is to not vaccinate and to wait until it's too late?

We know vaccinating saves lives. What are we waiting for?

Initially, I took that meme in an opposite way (pro-vaccine) but rereading it, you’re right. It comes across as anti-vaccine. :/
 
This thread is really just for quotes not for debate. Maybe start a new thread to discuss topics you pick up from here?

No. Just keeping the thread on topic.
Discussing quotes in this thread would be okay if it doesn’t go too sideways. But I don’t trust the process. lol
 
“We meet people we haven’t ever seen before, but deep inside, there is a feeling that we have known them for thousands of years.”
― Lala Agni, I JUST WANT YOU TO REMEMBER: A Story About The Eternal Love Of Twin Flames And So Much More
 
"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?"
-The Mahatma Gandhi
 
''For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.'' -- Aristotle
 
"We would like to apologise for the way in which politicians are represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed, political time servers who are more concerned with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of govenment. nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifce their credibility by denying free debates on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous self-seeking little vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practises which certain people might find offensive. We are sorry if this impression has come across."
- Monty Python

Learn about a procedure
Practice on a simulation
Observe as many as possible real
When confident do one
When confident demonstrate one
When confident teach one

“Does anything in nature despair except man? An animal with a foot caught in a trap does not seem to despair. It is too busy trying to survive. It is all closed in, to a kind of still, intense waiting. Is this a key? Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go.”
― May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude
