Ignoring Science Can Be A Killer

"Back in 2019, a panel of health experts declared that of every country in the whole world, the United States was the most prepared for handling a pandemic. So what went wrong? Acclaimed author Michael Lewis is unparalleled in unearthing the most compelling characters to tell an unexpected story – it’s no wonder he’s had multiple books turned into movies (The Blind Side, Moneyball, The Big Short). Now, Lewis has done it again with his latest book, “The Premonition”, following the people who spent years preparing for a pandemic only to be ignored at the most crucial juncture – to devastating results."

Another Serious Pandemic

Presently the world is experiencing one of its periodic viral pandemics. While all of them are serious health crises, there is arguably a greater pandemic that has permeated humanity essentially since its beginning: magical thinking. While there was an excuse for such superstitious and dogmatic thinking prior to science and its methods, presently there is no reason for it to be so ubiquitous. Especially with the internet, there is ready access to information falsifying all religions, alternatives to medicine, and other pseudosciences. Oh, if you think, "What's the harm?", the links below are for you:

• Harm from religion

• Harm from alternatives to medicine

• Harm from other pseudoscience

The antidote for this pandemic is science-based thinking!
