But it would be a completely different conversation if the same words came out of a clockmaker. Inspired by a tweet where a microbiologist expressed his disappointment after learning that one of their colleagues was an anti-vaxxer, Reddit user u/MoniMokshith made a post on r/facepalm, saying "I had to teach a historical geology class because the geologist who was supposed to teach [it] was a Young Earth Creationist." The post immediately blew up. As of this article, it has over 98K upvotes. And that's not even the most impressive part. The comment section got filled with similar stories, with people talking about "professionals" who made a career despite their controversial -- and often contradictory -- personal views. Here are some of them. Image credits: foamtherunway This post may include affiliate links. #1 I'm an RN and worked with FAR too many people in the healthcare field as a whole (not just other nurses, but also lab workers, RT's, pharmacists, hell even some MD's) who think/thought COVID was a hoax or "greatly exaggerated" and are now refusing the new vaccine, even though we all KNOW how mRNA and vaccines work. Plenty of anti-maskers too. It's like they just used their degrees as tissue paper or something, I seriously don't get how you can learn what we learn, understand it well enough to practice in the field, and yet still allow political stances to override all that, it's freaking ridiculous. zombie_goast , Jonathan Borba Report Final score: 366points POST Robert T Robert T Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Never underestimate the power of stupidity. 130 130points reply View More Replies...

I always wondered why people go into professions that are directly opposed to their beliefs. Seems like a miserable existence.

Once took a course literally called, “Belief in Weird Things” which was for Psych majors. 300 students enrolled, nearly half dropped out because they were offended at some point when we broke down their weird beliefs.

Near the beginning of the pandemic I heard about a Sous Chef I worked with in the past being an anti-masker. I asked through the grapevine why he washes his hands before and after handling food and the reply was “that’s common sense”. But somehow the scientific medical community saying that masks help prevent illnesses is just a big hoax. It’s beyond frustrating.

30 People Share Stories About “ Professionals” Who Had Some Controversial Opinions
Rokas Laurinavičius andAustėja Akavickaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source It's one thing if your Uncle Dave said he doesn't believe in time. But it would be a completely different conversation if the same words came out of a clockmaker. Inspired by a tweet where a microbiologist expressed his disappointment after learning that one of their colleagues was an anti-vaxxer, Reddit user u/MoniMokshith made a post on r/facepalm, saying "I had to teach a historical geology class because the geologist who was supposed to teach [it] was a Young Earth Creationist." The post immediately blew up. As of this article, it has over 98K upvotes. And that's not even the most impressive part. The comment section got filled with similar stories, with people talking about "professionals" who made a career despite their controversial -- and often contradictory -- personal views. Here are some of them. Image credits: foamtherunway This post may include affiliate links. #1 I'm an RN and worked with FAR too many people in the healthcare field as a whole (not just other nurses, but also lab workers, RT's, pharmacists, hell even some MD's) who think/thought COVID was a hoax or "greatly exaggerated" and are now refusing the new vaccine, even though we all KNOW how mRNA and vaccines work. Plenty of anti-maskers too. It's like they just used their degrees as tissue paper or something, I seriously don't get how you can learn what we learn, understand it well enough to practice in the field, and yet still allow political stances to override all that, it's freaking ridiculous. zombie_goast , Jonathan Borba Report Final score: 366points POST Robert T Robert T Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Never underestimate the power of stupidity. 130 130points reply View More Replies...

We all have firmly held beliefs that simply arent true and are based on the same level of evidence. Yet we tenuously cling to them and no amount of evidence is going to convince us otherwise. But luckily for most of us the absurdity isn't quite so easy to spot, allowing us to feel superior to those with alternate ideas." 20 20points reply Chillchillshill Chillchillshill Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Exactly. Everyone knows the science, but these people say these thigs because it props up their ego and individuality.

So sad they they can't separate facts from ego and a disagreement as a personal attack.. 6 6points reply Load More Replies...

I highly doubt that. Most people? Sadly probable. This is why most people scare the s**t out of me.
