No, scientists aren't telling you to "have faith" in the COVID-19 vaccines. They're presenting convincing evidence that they work and are safe. Science is NOT "just as dogmatic as religion."

Randomness: The Atheist Idol - with Firas Zahabi
13:25 UTC
The past nine months have radicalized me. My tolerance of people who ignore basic scientific advise during a pandemic has become exhausted.
Sorry this is long but I needed to say it somewhere.
With each passing month of this Covid pandemic, I grow angrier, more exasperated and bitter. I sit in my home largely away from the world for my own well being and the collective greater good. All the while millions go to parties, bars and restaurants. Pack airports for vacations and malls for holiday shopping. Refuse to wear masks at gatherings. Defiantly in many cases. I feel engulfed by a society of selfish idiots.
With each month, in vain I expect large majority of people to finally "get it". To follow what all the experts are advising and even imploring as people continue to fall sick and die. To grasp the bigger picture. The opposite appears to be happening in many if not most places. Many seem to be doing even less not more. To see so many reject or fear a vaccine, our one ticket out of this mess, out of ignorance and ideology is beyond infuriating to me.
It's been a similar experience to watching Trump lie and incompetently fail all of us repeatedly over and over only see him gain popularity among many.
I feel radicalized because I've lost the ability to tolerate people being so scientifically clueless and even proudly anti-science. I want to bite their head off in any interaction even though I know it's not productive. I'm so angry now I can't seem to help it. I keep turning over the idea of why does following basic protocols seem so obviously the correct path to me yet so many don't seem to even care at all. They have become the enemy in my mind now. No longer worth of my patience or respect.

I want to caveat this by saying our government's response has been a major contributor to all of this. Its lack of any coherent plan and denialism has made behavior even worse in many cases. Also, that any pandemic response is going to be far less than ideal in practice. And that some community Covid spread is inevitable due to some having essential jobs or needing income to have food and shelter.
