Health literacy is a major issue - there's no shortcut for assessing evidence & it takes a lot of skill & training to do so well. As I wrote in Irrational Ape / Good Thinking - it's easy to be misled by the illustration of science - just be cautious 8/8 amazon.co.uk/Irrational-Ape…
Even when I agree with their viewpoint, it undermines public understanding of science to cherry pick evidence to paint these pictures. Advocacy should be based on evidence, not evidence manipulated for advocacy. I think the crucial point is that evidence matters, not opinions 7/n
Crucial thing is that one's qualifications are no guarantee they're representing scientific evidence accurately. One of my biggest frustrations as a scientist the whole pandemic has been seeing academics who should know better misrepresenting evidence to shore up a viewpoint 6/n
One thing that emerges from survey data is that while trust in science is high, understanding of scientific practice itself is societally poor. Sounds innocuous enough, but I'd argue it's a Trojan house for a lot of dangerous nonsense. A short thread.. 1/n
Haven’t done one of these in a while! The Covid-19 Vaccine is NOT ‘experimental’.

I truly dislike the term "Natural Immunity" There is no such thing as artificial immunity A vaccine drives a NATURAL immune response The question is simply "how do you want to start building that immunity?" Through a risky infection or via a safe vaccine Me? I choose vaccine.
