The Risk of Losing Confidence in Science

The COVID pandemic saw divisions within our societies, our families, our countries - as people tried to understand viruses, vaccines and BigPharma.

​

All too often science - real science - gets lost in the translation, leaving a space for pseudo scientists to enter and disrupt - literally - our lives. Putting people at risk of further harm and in some instances, death.

​

This period of uncertainty - the best of times, the worst of times - descended upon people everywhere, like the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

​

For those of us who have been involved in scientific research, we have seen this pseudoscience before. We have also seen the extent to which money can drive science and how desperately those in power will seek to destroy anyone who upsets their control of the money.

 

During the COVID pandemic we were surrounded by people who

​

1) Claimed viruses don't exist,

2) Claimed COVID was really snake venom - we've seen snake oil salesmen before,

3) Claimed they had the cure - if you would just trust them and buy what they had to sell, and more - so much more.

​

When we quit requiring scientific proof and settle for what people are trying to sell us, we run the risk of following Alice down the rabbit hole.

​

Too many people were fooled by listening to people who claimed to have the answer if people would only listen to them.

​

As you can see from this website and it's companion site [https://www.flemingmethod.com/], advancing science - including medical science - is a slow tedious process and you have to be willing to be attacked and ridiculed if you want to advance it. In the end - sometimes after the death of the scientist - the truth wins out and science and humanity advances.

​

Before you accept the half truth of pseudo science, remember to ask a real scientist, if what you are hearing makes scientific sense - or is it just snake oil!
