Michael Specter on the dangers of science denial

Here’s a fascinating video that truly qualifies as a must-see: science journalist Michael Specter talks about the wonders of modern science, yet how pervasive and growing trends of science denial – anti-vaccination lunacy, “Frankenfood” (GMO) scares, herbal cure fluff, and etc. – are threatening to derail scientific advancement and progress in the US and around the world.

Yet another thing that cranks around the world need to see, yet most likely never will.
