I do not understand many things in this world. Right at the top of the list is covid-19 deniers. What is that about? Half a million deaths in the USA! What more evidence is required?? Thousands of deaths in Canada. How do deniers explain those numbers?
Skepticism is cool. I am a skeptic. But to deny public health orders is just crazy. Daily newspapers report on fights in stores over mask rules! WTF!
Wearing a mask is easy. Social distancing is possible. Hitting an employee, or spitting on her/him because they ask you to put on a mask is beyond my understanding.
Don’t facts matter in 2021?
Help me!
Episyllogism 
Apart from science denialism itself (about which I wrote a little in my first guest post for this blog,) I suppose it has to do with the power of political myths (i.e. fascism). People will die, or let a million other people die, before letting go of an elaborately false story that they have elevated as a religion.
