Mostly agree! One of my side projects is to amass a "reading list" of "scholarly articles", as opposed to Twitter tweets , that support these assertions. I believe they exist. The problem is there are lots, thousands, of studies every year. It's much more dramatic, of course to simply say "all the animals died!" which may have been true in some cases. But the truth is usually more complex than that and the case less clear. While it takes more time to understand the background issues, and definitely a lot more to compile the data, it would much better support a claim if I could say "Here's study X that showed ...." and "Study Y showed....." There is an old saying: "Education is not knowing the answer, it is knowing how to find the answer." The problem is that requires time and effort. But one thing is certain: you won't learn the truth from the MSM.
