Vanderbilt's elite School of Medicine has done a definitive study on the rate of hospitalizations and the wearing of masks. How can there still be so much mass ignorance and prejudice against science in this grave-and-quickly-worsening pandemic? The evidence is a large minority of our population is behaving illogically and dangerously, following scientifically illiterate leadership, mass disinformation on a cable channel as well as in social media. Epidemiologists say our bellweather now is Europe, where people started letting their guards down after months of having flattened the curve. Now, much of Europe have again seen huge spikes in infection, hospitalization, and mortality.
