Fauci Warns Columbia Medical Graduates of Conspiracy Theories, Anti-Science Rhetoric

TRANSCRIPT:

FAUCI: “You have been trained in science. Embrace it. And beware of the insidious nature of anti-science. During the past four years, we have witnessed an alarming increase in the mischaracterization, distortion, and even vilification of solid, evidence-based scientific findings, and of scientists themselves. At the same time, conspiracy theories arose that became intermixed with these anti-science sentiments. The net result, understandably, was that public confusion was sowed and trust in evidence-based public health principles was eroded.”
