The viral response of an outraged scientist to the denier who opened an antigen test: “This is too much …”

The Doctor of Biomedicine Lidia Franco Luzon has exploded on social networks in line with the denier who dismantled an antigen test to find ‘just’ a test strip inside it.

“Imagine that, every time you are going to enter a building (be it your home, your school, your workplace, a department store, it doesn’t matter), you decide not to because ‘Don’t trust the architect who designed it or the workers who built it’“, the scientist starts in a thread that has already gone viral.

Franco Luzón compares his work, in addition to building constructors, to engineers who design vehicles. “Imagine that, since you think that architects and engineers do not do their job well, you decide to read a couple of manuals and do a quick search on the internet to be able to build your own building and build your own car “, exemplifies.

“What does that sound ridiculous?” He asks himself several times.

With this comparison, Franco wonders why “many people believe they have the power to think that scientists do not know how to do our job.” If no one would stop entering a building, or driving a car because they think that architects, engineers , mechanics or workers do not do their job well, why do we distrust the knowledge of a scientist or a health worker? “.

In this sense, he continues, criticizes those who hype “those without specific training in these subjects who affirm things that anyone with a minimum of scientific background can deny“.

The scientist defends that “the human being has gotten to where he is thanks to the fact that science has been disproving superstitions and assumptions” and points out anger because “anyone with access to a mobile phone and an internet connection (mathematics, physics and, in short, science Basic Applied) dares to question the basic biochemical principles of thin-layer chromatography. “
