Great report of the reality of a “science” lacking humanity and ethics. The basis of scientism is manipulation, propaganda and instilling fear. We must know the strategies that are most frequently used by the media and political elites to manipulate the masses. The French writer Sylvain Timsit published a decalogue:

----1. Promote distraction by promoting information overload, or when said information contains a strong emotional charge such as reporting tragic events

-----2. Create the problems and also the solutions as the intention to cause a specific reaction, so that this public demands measures and decision-making that solve the situation such as the loss of freedoms.

-----3. Appeal to gradualness by applying important changes gradually, so that public and political reactions are equally gradual and easier to contain.

-----4. Infantilize the interlocutor by positioning the public as a group of naive people or incapable of taking responsibility for themselves

-----5. Make people think that this measure is painful but necessary, and that it is necessary to agree on it in the present although its effects will be perceived years later.

-----6. Position the public as a group of people who are naive or incapable of taking responsibility for themselves, or of making critical and responsible decisions. The public actually identifies with that position and ends up accepting the imposed measures and even supporting them with conviction.

-----7. Appeal more to emotions than to reflection

----8. Promote complacency in mediocrity to reinforce the feeling of success and satisfaction with the situation in which we find ourselves, even if it is a precarious or unfair situation.

----9. Reinforce self-blame. It is being used for the unvaccinated.

----10. Know people better than they know themselves. It is the basis of artificial and emotional intelligence.

In a What's App group chat, a number of data experts and scientists have been debating this question with front-line clinicians. Here I compile the debate arguments.
