Vetenskap och vetenskap, därom tvistar de lärde.
Mr Obama said misinformation was not an issue of progressive versus conservative politics.
“This is really a genuine American society issue is how do we re-establish some baselines of truth, that at least the vast majority of people can agree to?” he said.
“And then we could have a whole bunch of debates about – all right, yeah, climate change is real. But, you know, Republicans think we just have to adapt because we can’t give up, you know, our cars. And progressives say, no, we should use these alternative technologies.
“We can have that debate. I have some pretty strong views about it. But if you say climate change is a hoax, then there’s nothing we can do.
“The same is true with COVID. All right, you know, if you say, ‘Yes, COVID is a genuine, really big problem. A serious disease, here’s the science, we can agree to that.’
And then, you know, you have a country like Sweden that decides. ‘Well, we think we’re going to try to approach this through herd immunity.’
“At least there’s some coherence to their argument. I disagree with it. I don’t think it is proven out. But we’re within the same reality in our debates.
