We Used to Rely on Science

Young folks may not get the reference here, as the American sitcom “Gilligan’s Island” aired in the late 1960s.

This was a time before conspiracy theories and trickle-down economics.  When we had a problem, we didn’t ask Donald Trump or Ronald Reagan to fix it.

We were busy putting a man on the moon, and it never entered our minds to think that science wasn’t necessarily the best approach.

When it came to dealing with disease, we didn’t ingest bleach, insert high-intensity lights into our orifices, or prevent our governments from protecting its citizens with vaccines, social distancing, etc.
