This is an unusual post, because I'm asking you to download a pdf, but I think it contains information to help you put the subject into perspective. It's worth your time to read it.
Right now, we are all confronting one of humanity’s scariest enemies: epidemic disease. Are we brave enough to face this horror? You bet we are! We’ve done it every day during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Covid is new. Other diseases have plagued our ancestors since ancient times. Mighty civilizations have been devastated by the invisible invaders we call “germs.” But people are not helpless! Over centuries, we learned how to fight back against disease. Our strongest weapons are science and critical thinking. However, germs have a powerful ally: misinformation! How do ignorance and bad ideas help the germs win—and what can we do about that? Let’s find out! In this free issue of Junior Skeptic we cover:
- Mindless Enemies
- Plagues of the Ancients
- Empires and Epidemics
- Scientific Facts about Bubonic Plague
- The Black Death
- Fighting the Plague
- Fighting Smallpox on American Soil
