We don't need no science!

Going hand in hand with last time's blog...

We don't need no science - because we all know everything about everything - and our belief is more than enough to replace scientific rigor. Lets give an example:

Last month it was revealed that the research performed which linked Vaccines to Autism was a giant scam. Alright, it was 'scientific' and done by a scientist - and I have no idea who peer reviewed it but they should be tossed off a cliff. Now this paper started a few movements which aimed to ban vaccinations and stuff like that.


Aside from being immensely stupid (would you rather your kid dies instead of becomes autistic?) - now that it was revealed it was a scam - some of these movements are still going. Don't you think we should let the medical community decide what is good and bad for us? They are experts in the field.


This extends to tons of things - especially in the 'beauty' industry. You have everything from devices to stab holes into you to make your skin more soft - to balms based on snails to help regenerate your skin, to diet products based on this magical X, to eating ginger to cure illnesses...


Its a huge huge huge industry which makes billions each year, and yet is there a scientific basis to all of it? Of course not. But we don't need no science, it gets in the way of our magical 'belief-based-systems'.
