Scientific American’s Post

Personally, I would appreciate if more effort went into accurately reporting available data and less effort into alarmism and scare tactics. Plenty of junk science has been reported to the general public since the beginning of the pandemic, with little or no accountability. The scientific community needs to make a profound course correction and own it’s mistakes publicly rather than sweep things under the rug and saving face. There continue to be plenty of daily news reports about various crises that scientific matters must compete with for the public’s attention. Until biases improve, we should all expect informed audiences to remain skeptical. The social pressures that were exerted during the pandemic about the vaccine, masking, etc. lead to frankly unnecessary divisions in our communities. If only actual, genuine data had been rolled out rather than just federal policies and guidelines…🤔 It is only possible for division to have arisen as it did because our top scientists completely caved into pressure and quietly took a back seat to the politicians. Might start with properly reporting “Covid-related deaths”.

It’s so easy to do because we feel Overwhelmed by the sheer number of dangers, both physical and mental/emotional. Good advice for staying in better control of our lives, our societies, and our surroundings.

Science, education, rational thought, healthy skepticism... The good old days.
