Good thing this came from outside the United States, otherwise the stupid chimp in the WH would be trying to exact revenge on that institution.

This is another great example of "a lie has already made it to the other side of the world before the truth has finished putting on its shoes".
By academic standards this study was lightning quick, and yet it's like three months behind the original lie by those two fraudsters.
Breaking: Confirmed Science Confirmed... Again!
We knew this. This nonsense is what you get when you put batshit and brain-addled conspiracy theorists in charge of important positions. We have to waste money on studies that show that, yes in fact, the world is a fucking globe and water is in fact wet.
Every day we delve further into Idiocracy.
Hold on now, "water is wet" in fact a question of philosophy
I thought scientifically water actually wasn't wet, rather that it makes other things wet by adhering to them.
Gonna have to look up some peer reviewed studies now.
You should do a new study on this. If you need something entirely dry as a reference try Ben Shapiro's wife while he's in a room with her.
Hey, that’s not fair to Ben Shapiro’s wife.
Literally any woman in the same room as Ben Shapiro would do.
It's a linguistic question, not a scientific one. It depends on your definition of "wet".
People keep saying water isn’t wet, it just makes everything it touches wet.
But water touches other water more than anything else, so water must be wetter than anything else.
Tylenol should be opening lawsuits. Ffs. Resist or retreat in shame.
shocked, i tell you.
shocked.
Is anyone running a study on whether covid19 and autism are linked? Lol
But the administration told us differently. Just like the pandemic. And these guys got a lot of people killed back then with their advice.
"No fuckin' shit"
- Everyone on earth that isn't fuckin' stupid
Trump administration: "Wheels are square!"
Scientists: "Let's do a study on that."
Are we spending precious time, money and energy to focus science on every bullshit claim from fascists with the knowledge of kindergarten level, sexual preference of young teenagers and IQ of an egg?
Hang on a sec. Are you telling me we're to believe what a peer reviewed study says over the ramblings of a road kill eating junky? I mean, sure do that if you want, but I'm going to go boof a bunch of Ivermectin.
Legacy media would be covering this a major scandal if the left did it. And people still say that the mainstream media has a leftwing bias.
To the shock and surprise of absolutely, positively, not one single human being with a brain.
