Yes, it is a shame. People here are no different than MAGA, (your favorite shit group), etc. in how they polarize things, how they are manipulated and how easily they dig into a us-vs-them mentality. From my perspective the same kind of toxic way of thinking.
Just imagine people randomly not being neutral about vaccines or internet or whatever topic they have no idea about. Oh we already have that and they hate people that are not neutral there… sheep is really all I can think off with such behavior.
I was leaning more in favor of “avoiding random side” rather than “not picking a side when you don’t know”.
There are many many cases in which we don’t know, yet, we can still take a reasonably correct side:
We don’t know if the bus driver is a psychopat, and yet, we still take the bus.
We don’t know “how” a balanced diet is good for the body, yet, we still try to follow and recommend it.
By proxy, by incomplete knowledge, by relying on trustworthy groups of people who do know, we can reasonably side with the group that claims that a “balanced diet” is good. Same with vaccines.
The homework is to pick those “experts” and approach to at least some partial knowledge.

Exactly, without knowledge you are lost. You can not even identify who is a trustworthy source of information.
