The Conflict of Trust with Medicine and Science (before and after Covid-19)
There is a hidden dark side to our evolution in science and medicine, and it has affected the daily lives, perception, and general health of our society. Unfortunately, this “hidden” part of our evolution has placed generations of trauma on s spectrums such as race, gender, sexuality and even on mental health. Unless the trauma is addressed, treated, and removed. Feelings of distrust, betrayal and over all rebellion against scientific reason will persist.
During the beginning of Covid we have seen people how have chosen to ignore the facts given by well credited scientist such as Dr. Anthony Fauci a now world renown speaker during the pandemic and Dr. Robert Malone who helped develop the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. But even with given their reputations and an abundance of free accessible credited scientific information available, There a hesitation and general distrust from the public. This could be linked into past conflicts with race, sex, gender and possibly religion that have continued to linger in science and medicine; as well as misinformation ( such as fake news) not being and regulated and used as factual information.
Since the begging of the Pandemic the public as been informed by the CDC and world-renowned doctors and scientists on the growing status, and growing nature of the virus. Yet, people chose to believe that the virus as a government tool of control or a made-up concept revolved around conspiracy. Even though the data was present and completely disregarded the tragic lives being lost to it. This a similar problem to the “vaccines cause autism” rampage that took told in the late 1990’s after the publishing of The Lancet by Andrew Wakefield. Even after it was discredited and disapproved by several studies on the epidemiology of autism and accredited physicians the damaged was done. By that time several parents have completed opted out of their children getting the MMR (measles) vaccine, even though it was proven that the measles virus was a casual path to autism itself.
At the part where it says “trauma on s spectrums” the “s” should be removed. Where it says “people how have chosen” you should change “how” to “who”. It should say “there is a hesitation,” not “There a hesitation”. In the first sentence of the third paragraph, it’s supposed to say “beginning”, not “begging”. Also it’s “the public has been informed”. At the part where it says “people chose to believe that the virus as a government tool of control” you should add a “w” to “as”. You should probably change “the tragic lives being lost to it” to “lives were tragically lost.”
