Too many fool themselves into thinking they’re being “scientific” by “questioning the science.”
It’s true that questioning is central to the process of science. But not accepting the answers is denial.

A wise person once said: 😊
“If your health claims can be debunked by a child at her science fair, then I think it’s time to let them go.”

That time a 9-year-old skeptic named Emily Rosa debunked energy healing (a pseudoscientific alternative medicine treatment) and published in a top medical journal.

Agree with you. Denial has to do with allowing fallacious arguments based on emotions/experts/bias rather following logic & evidence. Denial isn’t resistance to prejudice/biases. Let’s be clear about that. Everything we know, we can know better.

Too many people fool themselves into thinking they're being scientific by overzealously defending what they believe is the only acceptable scientific interpretation without skepticism of whether or not there were ulterior motives manipulating the scientific process along the way
