Here it is.
But there are at least three reasons why this explanation doesn’t “hold water,” pardon the pun. First, the gravitational effects of the moon are far too minuscule to generate any meaningful effects on brain activity, let alone behavior ... Second, the moon’s gravitational force affects only open bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes, but not contained sources of water, such as the human brain.
Ok, so first you meant to say moon's gravity. Originally you said they claim "gravity doesn't affect water." But now it's the moon's gravity.
Anyways the main part here is to look at the full quote.
But there are at least three reasons why this explanation doesn’t “hold water,” pardon the pun. First, the gravitational effects of the moon are far too minuscule to generate any meaningful effects on brain activity, let alone behavior. As the late astronomer George Abell of the University of California, Los Angeles, noted, a mosquito sitting on our arm exerts a more powerful gravitational pull on us than the moon does. Yet to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of a “mosquito lunacy effect.” Second, the moon’s gravitational force affects only open bodies of water, such as oceans and lakes, but not contained sources of water, such as the human brain. Third, the gravitational effect of the moon is just as potent during new moons—when the moon is invisible to us—as it is during full moons.
So you can see why they made the claim.
Do you feel that having a science degree means you wouldn't be an anti-vaxer? You are against the medical opinion on other topics, such as the dangers of the moon. Also, its clear that of those educated folks, 55% didn't believed in lunacy. Your degree then means little.
I'm not ignoring their medical opinion. It's their belief based on no evidence.
"A 2011 study published in the World Journal of Surgery found that more than 40% of medical staff believe that lunar phases can affect human behavior, even though most studies find no direct correlation between the full moon and hospital admission rates. "
And also no claims it's the light, but rather moon phase.
This is why you need to think more critically. This is also why I would not be an anti-vaxor.
I am at a loss to find any legitimate evidence against the moon's dangers from your silly article that says gravity doesn't affect enclosed water.
Back to the word "gravity". Why do you omit the part where they say "Moon's gravity"? Also it is well know the moon doesn't cause tides in a glass of water, if they were going for something like that.
