Denying to the grave

why we ignore the facts that will save us

Denying to the grave

why we ignore the facts that will save us
Sara E Gorman PhD MPH Jack M Gorman MD
Book - 2017

Why do some parents refuse to vaccinate their children? Why do some keep guns at home, despite scientific evidence of risk to their family members? And why do people use antibiotics for illnesses they can't possibly alleviate? When it comes to health, many people insist that science is wrong, that the evidence is incomplete or inconclusive, and that unidentified hazards lurk everywhere to harm us.
