The Power of Fear in the Pandemic

Chomsky is a linguist by training. So that's not natural science, but he's a very smart guy. It was crazy to hear somebody like a gnome Chomsky more or less suggesting that if you didn't get the shots, you should be banished from society. And so it was shocking, but I think because he's in the vulnerable cohort, he got kind of sucked into it. People who were educated but had no formal training in science just felt because of their fear, they felt like we just have to do what the highest scientific authorities and tell us to do.
