Original Question
been looking at some covid related stuff and have been a usual seeing people saying that the cdc is unreliable and so without giving anything to support it, wondering what fallacy this commits?
Answers
2No fallacy. Just an unsupported opinion.
Agreeing with Prof M's unsupported opinion. This could also be the result of a cognitive bias (confirmation bias), where the people who dismiss the CDC as 'unreliable' are doing so because it says things that clash with their strongly-held beliefs.
