ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU HEAR THE DISTURBING, PERNICIOUS AND ANTI-SCIENCE PHRASE “the science is settled”:

The inventor of lobotomy received the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1949.

This type of so-called “settled science” can and does hurt people and can lead to death..

“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts”

The late Pope Francis beats CNN and BBC to the claim that the Coronavirus is a result of Climate Change. Talk about being anti-science . This most unscientific claim wins the 2020 Anti-Science Award :

The spread of zoonotic diseases is an important and interesting topic that we need to take seriously. Thank you.
Inevitably, it will trigger the smoothbrains, conspiracy theorists and bots.
