There‘s a certain pleasure reading a book in science written early in Obama‘s first term, when scientific thinking seemed perhaps on the upswing - on the other hand, anti-scientism infects both the right and the left. Specter does a great job showing this, in chapters on big pharma, vaccines, organics & GMOs, supplements, genetics, and bioengineering. It‘s no wonder we‘re afraid of science - all the more reason to study and understand it.
