From American Thinker.com:
In an 1877 essay entitled "The Ethics of Belief," British philosopher and mathematician William Kingdon Clifford argued that society has a "moral obligation" to believe only in what is supported by sufficient evidence. Clifford wrote, "it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence."
In like manner then, dismissing as untrue what sufficient evidence proves to be true should also be avoided. The problem is that in politics, progressives are like flat-earthers and embody the antithesis of the truth-seeking Clifford addressed in his centuries-old essay.
For the likes of Pelosi, Biden, Obama and Co., belief and disbelief depend solely on political expedience, not verifiable proof. For example, the progressive left touts science while insisting that babies in the womb are incapable of feeling pain, that plastic drinking straws destroy the planet, that illegal felons contribute to society, and that gender is no longer limited to just XY and XX. Progressives also ignore sound data in order to promote falsehoods like law enforcement indiscriminately murders Black men, the Second Amendment kills people, and Caucasian males are racist, illiterate hayseeds.
In leftist circles, evidence holds no authority over strong belief. Thus, progressives adhere to a mythical gospel whose inherency is altered based on partisan necessity. The left display what psychologists define as "cognitive immunization." Hence, it's not a COVID vaccine that needs to be fast-tracked, but a societal antidote to a virus that half the country has adopted via media inoculation, political indoctrination, and public education.
