Unscientific Decision-Making: A Pattern Across Healthcare and Environmental Policy

Numerous major mandates have been implemented in the healthcare sector without scientific evidence, causing harm in the process. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident as there have been other instances of unscientific decision-making in recent times.

The issue of unscientific actions extends to efforts aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Policies put in place to address this issue have often been costly and economically counterproductive. This demonstrates a pattern of unscientific activity in various areas, with potentially serious consequences.

In the midst of the pandemic, the phrase “Follow the Science!” was constantly reiterated. However, many policymakers and public health officials did not always heed their own advice. This has led to numerous major mandates that were not based on scientific evidence, resulting in harm to those affected.

It is concerning that unscientific decision-making has become a pattern across different sectors, including healthcare and environmental policy. The consequences of such actions can be severe and long-lasting. It is crucial for policymakers and public health officials to prioritize scientific evidence when making decisions that affect people’s lives.
