    Discussions on @Nextdoor remind me that the average person doesn't think it's up to them to back up their claims. If you ask for a source for a claim, they'll frequently say, "Do your own work" or give you a vague reply (like the @MichiganHHS website) without a specific link.

        Then, when you push just a little, asking for a specific link or document on the website, they'll accuse you of "pedantry" and get all huffy.

        My Nextdoor feed is mostly complaining about loud children and dogs, except last March when it was about where to find toilet paper. That was when I unsubscribed.

        I stopped visiting NextDoor in April when 40% of the postings were about toilet paper and where to find it, and 40% were rants about mask wearing by scientific illiterates.

        I see this kind of response so often that it makes me wonder if they are all part a "tell them to do their own work" club. Or maybe there's just a natural gradient toward this deflection when their opinions aren't based on any real facts.

        best quotes "I have given you proof" (youtube video). "I'm not going to waste my time providing evidence" (do my homework for me, and "I suppose you consider scientific evidence as proof" (er..yes)

        It is a logical fallacy. Hitchen's Razor. Very common among right wingers and the religious.

        You'd THINK an official organization like @MichiganHHS would be HAPPY to direct you to their sources, or at least somewhere you can find more direct information
