Covid-19 - Could we speed up an acceptance of the scientific worldview? How could the research/scientific community contribute? That is important for a fight against Covid-19.
The first known symbolic paintings of half-human, half-animal figures date to around 42 thousand BC. Most scholars see Isaac Newton's book "Principia Mathematica" publication date, i.e., 1647 AD, as an emergence date for a scientific method. That means that, for the last 44 thousand years, 99.2% of the time humans were not aware of the scientific worldview. The ignorance of scientific worldview is an ancient tradition. It is hard to overcome it.
People with anti-science attitudes, like anti-vaxxers, became a powerful obstacle on the way to global herd immunity against Covid-19.
