Surprised? You shouldn’t be. ~1/3 meteorologists think the same. ~1/4 Americans think the Sun revolves around the Earth. In a classic #scied doc, 21/23 @Harvard students/faculty/alumni couldn’t explain basic phenomena like the #seasons or #lunarphases. #scienceliteracymatters

Science isn’t broken.
But your evidence filter might be.
Learn the difference between:
✅ Randomized human trials
❌ TikTok testimonials
They’re not equal — don’t treat them like they are.

Sigh. This NOT how “survival of the fittest” works with pandemics, dumb asses‼️
Viruses attack populations. If a portion of the population (MAGA) decides to be vulnerable targets, this ONLY STRENGTHENS the virus, overall.
It’s really SO sad to see [white] Americans’ ongoing public health ignorance.

Great visual reminders that "correlation" does not equal "causation."

Spurious Correlations
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.
