When we read about the Ebola outbreak in Africa, we are also told that that the superstitions of the Africans (such as the belief that the doctors are spreading it) hampers efforts to control the outbreak.
Finger pointing is soooo easy...
But in America? We're not a bunch of superstitious backwoods hicks, are we?
Yes we are. Our superstitions often come in the form of conspiracy theories. For instance:
Chris Brown: Ebola Is a 'Form of Population Control'
When AIDS came in - for those of you who remember - many people claimed it was a government plan to eliminate gays.
Then, there is the superstitious belief that vaccinations cause Autism.
It goes on, but you get the idea...
