Experts
Now more than ever, we need to listen to science, to ask for evidence, to follow the data. But we must also be wary of how science is being used by politicians and corporates. We see vastly different political strategies to tackle Coronavirus – all claiming to be following expert scientific advice. This is nothing new. When Rachel Carson built her scientific case against the harmful use of herbicides and pesticides in agriculture, the agrochemical industry wheeled out their scientific counter-experts. Big Tobacco and Big Oil have done the same. So let’s promote science-based, but remain vigilant about vested interests.
