Fear isn't a new paradigm. It has long been established that media outlets, religion, terrorism, ads, etc use(s) fear as a means of control. I suggest watching "Bowling for Columbine"--here's a notable excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiaxzBlFgmQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiaxzBlFgmQ Btw, I'd also recommend reading this https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/columbine-whose-fault-is-it-232759/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/columbine-... IMHO, the best way to fight such fear is, among other things, to insist on educating the masses and to open science as much as possible to them as well.
