Scientific Discourse About COVID-19
Productive Public Discussions of Differing Opinions Can Happen
DR. BYRAM W. BRIDLE
I recently accepted an invitation to participate in a public discussion with a physician and former medical officer of health, Dr. Matt Strauss. The evening was a resounding success. To nobody’s surprise, two professionals who prioritize integrity and evidence-based decision-making were able to engage in a mutually respectful discussion for the benefit of the audience. Kudos to Dr. Strauss. I have the utmost of respect for him.

There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
