Derek Lowe: Misinformation and Its Spread
- h2odragon 5y agoAt some point you have to ask why don't other want to believe as you do? When they find your facts unconvincing is there some other or larger matter at issue as well? "My body, my choice" is a slogan that was used to promote one's sovereignty over one's own body. But oops there's exceptions to that principle now? That weren't valid exceptions when others wanted to raise them in other contexts? When authorities back their best guess with "trust the science!" as an appeal to faith, actual scientists should not blame the rest of the world for the erosion in respect they see. Blame the people who keep making confident prophecies of doom in the name of your profession.
