Measles exposure in Laval
Health authorities are warning of possible exposure to measles in a couple of public places in Laval. Background news: a study shows that worldwide mistrust of vaccines is putting populations at risk from preventable diseases – and ironically, areas with higher education are more prone to buying ill‑founded, unscientific anti‑vaccine notions.

Kate, it’s probably an occurrence of the Dunning-Kruger effect. I saw a number of well educated people in flatearth videos when I studied the subject for my agnotoly Ph.D. at PragerU

“my agnotoly Ph.D. at PragerU” I feel like there’s a good joke in there but I don’t get it…

La blague c’est qu’il n’existe probablement pas (encore) de département universitaire dédié à l’agnotologie. Mais c’est effectivement un sujet d’étude qui me fascine (à l’intersection de la socio, la neurologie et la psycho). J’ai imaginé une Université qui cadrerait bien avec l’agnotologie et j’ai pensé à Prager U, où enseigne, entre autres, l’éminent professeur Jordan B Peterson.

“l’éminent professeur Jordan B Peterson”. Now there’s a joke I can understand.

This guy is éminent: he’s making 800 000$ a year in donation alone from alt-right, fachists, incels, and anti-SJW de tout acabit.
