That is an authority fallacy.

OK, person who doesn’t understand the difference between authority protecting the interests of globalists and authority finally having to tell the truth.

Next year, when a brave medical researcher from Harvard comes out and explains that they are sure that ivermectin is a good medical treatment for Covid, are you going to say that you don’t trust what that brave researcher is saying?

Yes it’s true that for 30 years researchers at Harvard deemphasized the dietary harm of sugar to human health and instead told us that animal fat was the worst thing for the heart. They did that because the sugar industry paid them to do that. But today if one of those Harvard researchers came forward and stated that sugar is a great danger to human health are you going to discount that individual scientist because they come from Harvard.

An authority fallacy is not what you think it is: "A fundamental reason why the Appeal to Authority can be a fallacy is that a proposition can be well supported only by facts and logically valid inferences. But by using an authority, the argument is relying upon testimony, not facts. A testimony is not an argument and it is not a fact." I only care about tangible facts not opinions, testimomies or what a supposed authority thinks, you are also using a false equivalence fallacy by putting believing in Aliens on the same level as believing sugar is bad for the body or believing ivermectin is good (couldn't care less) those three are not remotely close to be on the same level.

Harvard along with all other employed academics ignored the UFO topic for years.

Because of this if people were asked their opinion on existence of UFOs, many people would make an appeal to authority and say , “Well if UFOs were real then Harvard and other schools would look into them, wouldn’t they?”

That appeal to authority was made on behalf of “the powers that be” who don’t want us looking into what UFOs are.

So the authorities wanted us to believe that each and every UFO sighting was explainable. They were either misidentification, lies or attempts by some individuals to attract attention or earn fraudulent income on sales of UFO books.

Now for the first time in history, Harvard, Stanford and other serious schools and academics are looking into the UFO topic. I’m pointing out the rare academics who are willing to go against the tide of your typical academic opinion on the existence of UFOs.

Notice I’m not making a claim that aliens exist. I’m simply pointing out that a few serious and brave academics are willing to actually look at this topic and take it seriously.

What I’ve done here is not make a typical claim to authority. If I were making an appeal to academia I would point out that most academics are not seriously investigating the UFO issue.

What I’m doing here is trying to describe a paradigm shift in academia.

Go fuck yourself for trying to confuse people about that.

I will believe when clear evidence and facts are presented, not before and no matter who says it.
