Siding With Caution Or Playing Chicken (BSTBU 28)

Why do we "play chicken" rather than side with caution? Why is it that we think disaster will happen to others but not ourselves? Are we special? Are the gods watching over us alone? With COVID-19 variants speeding up and nations worldwide ramp up vaccine rollouts, we still push for reopening way too soon. Why don't we take medical experts and science itself seriously? Do you really think you can beat COVID-19 with sheer willpower and grit? Don't be a fool. Join Be Strong To Be Useful Host Vin Nelsen as he discusses an impending 4th wave of coronavirus that may up our case counts and death rates even as more people get vaccinated. Topics include the illusion of unique invulnerability, the precautionary principle, risk management, cost-benefit analyses, vulnerable populations, Jan 6, 2020 US Capitol attacks, Black Lives Matters, social justice, Will Ferrell's General Motors electric vehicles "No Way Norway" Super Bowl ad and the advice of Canada's Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO) Dr. Theresa Tam and that of Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to US President Joe Biden.
