Bad Science by Ben Goldacre
5.0
I recommend this book to all people who are constantly bombarded by "health advice".
So, everyone.
In short, Goldacre tears apart and lays bare the ways that science is (horrifyingly often) abused, misused, altered, ignored... and often from basic misunderstandings about science or the scientific process (whether intentional or not).
Oh, and there's also the specific relevance of Goldacre's dissection of the MMR anti-vaccine rhetoric being a clear echo to the present-day COVID-19 anti-vaccine rhetoric.
Read this. Or any of the myriad of suggested readings at the back. Or anything on the website.
Also, get vaccinated.
