Anti-Science and the Pandemic
A learned economist said recently, “We know that COVID-19 is temporary, but we also know that it will cause permanent effects.”
Interesting. It doesn’t seem certain that humankind will be able to put pandemics and their variants behind us anytime in the foreseeable future.
That’s especially true given the new breed of antivaxxer. Their numbers are growing, and their belief system isn’t going away. In fact, it seems to me that their dogmatic anti-science thought patterns are steadily becoming more ingrained.
One might assume the anti science attitude is part of an anti intelligence attitude. Maybe a position held by some people who feel left out of the culture of those who have participated in higher education and its ideas.
