Is Dr. Fauci correct that a large population of Americans are ignorant and anti-science?


https://bit.ly/3184ATU

Fauci warned about an "anti-science bias" contributing to case spikes in the country.

"One of the problems we face in the United States is that unfortunately, there is a combination of an anti-science bias that people are -- for reasons that sometimes are, you know, inconceivable and not understandable -- they just don't believe science and they don't believe authority," Fauci said in an episode of the US Department of Health and Human Services' podcast "Learning Curve" on Wednesday.

"So when they see someone up in the White House, which has an air of authority to it, who's talking about science, that there are some people who just don't believe that -- and that's unfortunate because, you know, science is truth."

States reporting spikes in new cases will have to re-implement "significant levels of social distancing" to contain the spread, Dr. Peter Hotez, a professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine, told CNN's New Day on Thursday.

"We've never finished the first wave," Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine, said of spikes in new cases in Florida, Texas and Arizona. "We didn't complete that social distancing period that we needed to do."

Models showed states needed to extend stay-at-home orders through May, according to Hotez.

"Things opened up prematurely," he said.

Anti-vaxxers have had a conspiracy theory-fueled field day due to the pandemic.

Duh, and it starts with people like him.

Fauci has served American public health in various capacities for over 50 years, and has been an advisor to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan.[3] He has made contributions to HIV/AIDS research and other immunodeficiencies, both as a scientist and as the head of the NIAID at the NIH, and from 1983 to 2002 was one of the world's most-cited scientists in scientific journals.

In other words, precisely the kind of person Trump and his supporters hate the most.

The GOP has been peddling anti-education, anti-science, and anti-expertise rhetoric for decaded. Now we want to be surprised that those sentiments have taken hold in that portion of the population.

The resistance to masks probably isn't helped by CDC's initial attempts to discourage people from using them. It's kinda obvious now they just blatantly lied to stop idiots from buying out all the high quality PPE and making it harder for hospitals to get them, but lying to people initially carries the cost of lost trust in institutions. It's not helped by president's refusal to just tell people to wear masks, but the CDC pissed away a lot of good will and trust by lying about masks at first and walking the lie back.

Not much to talk about. This is obvious to any well-minded person, and like a carcinogen bath to the maladjusted.
