Fakta

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Deflategate scandal that occurred in 2015 in the NFL was the result of a strange rumor that someone in the Patriots’ locker room tampered with the footballs during halftime, then sneaked them into the game.

#2 The old garment center joke is that turning on the blue light means the man wants a blue suit. This describes the process of hiring experts to produce scientific materials that show that a product is not very dangerous.

#3 The strategy of manufacturing doubt is used by corporations to defend their products against government regulation. It is public relations disguised as science. The companies’ PR experts provide these scientists with contrarian sound bites that play well with reporters.

#4 The strategy of manufacturing doubt has been extremely successful in the current debate over the use of scientific evidence in public policy. It has allowed entire industries to thrive, while delaying or obstructing public health or environmental protections.
