反科学的上升之势:一位科学家的警告[Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B0CKRXGXP7 | October 10, 2023 | 6 hrs and 6 mins | MP3@64 kbps | 156 MB By: Peter J. Hotez MD PhD Narrated by: Graham Winton

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others.

Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.

In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens listeners’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.


在新冠疫情最严重时期,一位著名的科学家经常以他那标志性的领带出现在如MSNBC、NPR、BBC等主要新闻网络上。

彼得·Hotez博士经常不眠不休地工作,日夜兼程开发非营利性新冠疫苗,并且保持公众的知情。在此期间,他成为了疫情中的最值得信赖的声音,并因他的无私努力甚至被提名为诺贝尔和平奖得主。他也成为反科学言论的一个主要目标,这些言论通过保守新闻媒体传播开来。

在这篇目击者故事中,Hotez描述了反疫苗运动如何成长为美国政治中的危险且显眼的反科学元素所带来的破坏性影响。作为一名经历了反疫苗者的敌意,并在世界各地致力于基本科研发现和倡导的科学家,Hotez有资格讲述这个故事。他将个人经历与有关反疫苗运动成为右翼政治人物工具的信息交织在一起,使听众们认识到反科学带来的危险。他还解释了如何将反科学转变为一种重要的社会力量:在新冠疫情的第一个年份里,尽管广泛提供了新冠疫苗,超过20万未接种的美国人仍因没有接种而无辜丧生。即使他在描绘一个充满侵略性无知的世界时,Hotez也展示出他固有的乐观态度,并提出了解决科学否认和挽救生命的方法。
