O'Mara: Is there any case of science denial that you can identify that's primarily from the left? He says a g m o denial is, it is quite virulent on the left as well. "There are scads of people on the right who also turn out to be anti-vaxers," O'Mara writes. 'I don't think this is an instance of something that's been politicized like tudtor,' he adds.
“Climate change is a hoax — and so is coronavirus.” “Vaccines are bad for you.” These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed — they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories. How can we convince such people otherwise? How can we get them to change their minds and accept the facts when they don’t believe in facts? In this conversation based on his new book, Lee McIntyre shows that anyone can fight back against science deniers, and argues that it’s important to do so.
