Thank goodness you went after David Suzuki for appallingly sloppy science at best, and much worse at the worst.
The first rule in the practice of medicine is:
Primum non nocere (Do no harm).
It should be the first rule of all science. This Suzuki damnation of salmon farms, undoubtedly caused a lot of people to opt out of buying farm fish. Wouldn't it be interesting to do a study on just how much damage was done?
Now we have Germany admitting that it does not know whether the
e coli came from Spanish cucumbers in their recent outbreak!
Estimated damage to Spanish farmers $28,000,000 CAD per week (unconfirmed number)
All too many think scientists are without sin.
But, all too often they cannot resist the temptation of turning science into their own brand of scientology.
P.M.
