Viruses — Why Some Think They Don't Exist (and What's Behind It)
Published 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Why do some people believe viruses don't exist?
The more useful question is:
What leads someone to that conclusion, and what problem is that belief solving?
In this solo episode, I explore:
- Where confusion arises
- The differences between germ theory and terrain theory
- How loss of trust shapes how people interpret information
- Why simple explanations can feel more convincing than complex ones
This isn't about dismissing people. It's about understanding how beliefs form, and how to think more clearly. When we understand the reasoning, we're better equipped to evaluate the claim.
