Here's the thing. All sources could be biased. You are the one that has to establish though that they are.
"All sources could be biased." True. "You are the one that has to establish though that they are." False. I don't have to establish nothin'. Do you have to establish that your sources are not biased? No, of course not. Why? Because there's no way to establish that either way. Which means the argument about objective truth is without basis, cuz you cannot establish that whatever you accept as truth really is unbiased any more than I can establish the reverse.
Bias does not determine objective truths. Facts do. And yes you can be at least reasonably certain. But it takes actual effort.
I got facts.
Fact: most of the people who died from COVID were aged and/or had a comorbidity. The risk of dying from COVID is far less and getting smaller for those of us who are young and healthy.
Fact: People who got the vaccine have still contracted COVID.
Fact: People who got the vaccine can pass the virus to someone else.
Fact: The vaccine begins to lose it's effectiveness over time.
Fact: It is unknown at this time whether the vaccine will or won't protect a person from future variants.
Fact: We've been lied to so many times about the masks, the lockdowns, the vaccines, etc.
Maybe you can be reasonably certain of what you think is the objective truth, but there are many others who do not. I'm not saying you're right or wrong or that they are, but it is their right to make that decision for themselves. Based on their experiences and what they see and hear and read, their idea of what is the objective truth differs from yours, and your claim that your concept is the right one is your opinion which you are of course entitled to. As are they.
