During the pandemic, the public was constantly reminded to “Follow the Science!” However, many policymakers and public health officials did not always adhere to this advice themselves. This led to major mandates that were not supported by scientific data and had negative consequences. It wasn’t just healthcare where mistakes were made, as there have been other instances of unscientific decisions in recent times.
In this segment of What’s Ahead, we see a similar trend when it comes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The policies put in place to address this issue are often costly and economically counterproductive. This underscores the importance of following scientific evidence and data when making decisions that impact public health and the economy.
To ensure the best outcomes for society, it is crucial that we prioritize evidence-based decision-making in all areas. Let’s continue to follow the science and make decisions based on facts, rather than political or economic considerations. Follow me on Twitter or send me a secure tip for more updates on this topic.
