Publisher’s summary
The Panic Virus is a gripping scientific detective story about how grassroots radicals, snake-oil salesmen, and cynical journalists have perpetrated the biggest health-scare hoax of all time. It explores what happens when the media treats all viewpoints as equally valid, regardless of facts, from parents who are convinced that vaccines caused their children’s autism to right-wing radicals who believe that climate change is a myth. It also explains how the endless quantity of information available online has radicalized partisans by fueling their tendency to filter out anything that doesn’t reinforce their way of thinking.
Tens of millions of dollars have been wasted appeasing denialists who think the government is perpetrating a health “holocaust” on children. Declining vaccination rates have caused recent outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, and Hib - and children around the country are dying as a result.
Like works by Oliver Sacks and Richard Dawkins, The Panic Virus uses everyday experiences to show how science affects our lives. Listeners will learn why definitive proof in science is virtually impossible, how rational decision-making is ruled by emotion, and why paupers’ graves in the 1880s led to an outbreak of throat cancer in the 1950s.

I celebrate anti-vaxers kids dying of mumps and all the preventable infectious diseases. The parents too. Stupid people self-culling is a good thing. Same for all the dead climate change Duh-niers who defiantly refused to evacuate when warned of a climate jacked mega storm on the way (that breaks records….again). I hope they don’t wear their seat belts or wear a helmet either. In fact, germs are a total hoax, perpetrated by the soap industry. Your poo is non-toxic - it’s 100% natural! No need to wash your hand or wear a silly condom.

*Why anti-vaxxers aren’t just killing their own kids — they’re putting others in danger, too*
.
Every year, children die because someone they never met chose not to get vaccinated
.
Unvaccinated people are definitely causing these outbreaks
