Alan Barbour and Durland Fish wrote this 1993 review, published in Science: The Biological and Social Phenomenon of #Lyme Disease.
Even then, there was serious concern about quack diagnoses and treatments.
“The pandemic” didn’t “breathe” the hesitance, @apoorvanyt.bsky.social. The anti-vaccine movement leaders made a conscious decision to exploit it to undermine trust. They literally made videos about how they would do exactly that, before the vaccines existed. Show your readers those videos!
The depressing thing is how this is all a predictable backslide. You can almost see the dead of the future at every point. The future is unwritten so they are just future ghosts. But later you see them actually die and you nearly curse your own education because you have to mourn everyone twice.
A lot of people have said to me "there's so much crazy stuff in the Epstein files that turned out to be true, why shouldn't I believe [whatever unfounded thing would make me feel good." Because you are giving away your power if you do that.

“Since Trump took office 13 months ago, NIH has posted only 84 NOFOs, down from 787 in the previous year.”
This is how you drive a dagger into publicly funded science while bleating about how there haven’t been cuts
Instead of top-line budget cuts they are slowly bleeding science and draining the blood into a bowl for their vampire friends

Remember MAGA blaming Biden for gas prices?
It’s not that you have a special intuition for tactics you just give up on spending time and face the consequences :)
