Since we learned about COVID-19 we have been inundated with experts and politicians perpetuating a narrative of fear at a time when we were not so clear on the science. Looking back at 2020, we have far more science to help us better understand how COVID-19 affects us and can better judge our response to it. Despite this, the narrative of fear continues from politicians and experts alike.
We must ask ourselves, should we follow the bureaucratic experts or should we follow the science?
The following information should help you better answer questions and be a resource to arm you in any discussion about COVID-19. More topics to come.
