I was just reminded of Steven Hawkins’s fear that Americans are not only losing their respect for science, they are actively trying to destroy science and scientific research. Along with this destruction is the downgrading of educating the future scientists.

Two examples of American’s stupidity are Climate Change is a hoax and vaccines are going to give the patient the disease. Even Trump has now said Climate Change is real and may be caused by human activity. He backtracked by saying if it is true he isn’t going to sacrifice American jobs to cut emissions. Reality in other countries and here has shown the reverse is true. There’s more jobs in being green than old polluting technology. The rest of the world is taking two steps forward while some in our country are taking us two steps back for profit.

A European doctor did a “study” with nine people. He managed to get around peer review and get published. His study has been completely refuted by many large and reputable studies. He has lost his license and all respect except for idiots who still believe his philosophy. Thanks to him many American mothers have lost their kids because they were not vaccinated.

Americans believe in greedy reports from those who will benefit instead of real research from peer reviewed studies. The country that excited students into going into science when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon (Yes, he really did), now disdains science. Will we become a second rate science educated nation?
