@wolf_science: Confidence isn’t evidence. Popularity isn’t expertise. And having 1 million followers doesn’t make someone right. A few thoughts on scientific literacy, misinformation, and why it matters who we choose to believe. #ScienceLiteracy #ScienceCommunication #CriticalThinking #WolfScience #Science
I agree with this, except his example of Covid. The response to Covid was contrary to scientific evidence and inquiry. Recommendations changed not because policy makers were following the data. It changed because of the politically driven need to be seen as doing something. They ignored the actual body of knowledge on infectious disease and the data they had on the Covid virus regarding at risk populations. Instead they relied on a flawed modeling exercise and one non peer reviewed paper by Neill Ferguson.

Evidence may BE an opinion. Someone may have the opinion that facts and information are evidence of their theory, but they may be wrong. For example, shark attack attacks and ice cream sales go up and down together. One person may see this as evidence that ice cream sales cause shark attacks. Is it evidence of that? No. (Because the reason ice cream sales and shark attacks go together is hot weather 🙂)
