The Neurological Basis for Data-Resistant Belief Systems: The 2020 Presidential Election and the COVID Vaccine

The Reading Instruction Show by Dr. Andy Johnson

Episode notes

How is it possible that so many people believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election? How is it humanly possible? How is it possible that some still believe that getting vaccinated for COVID-19 is a bad thing? After all the information published, all the data available, how is it possible that there are people walking about who fervently believe such things? And I am not talking about just a few. Sadly, I am talking about a whole bunch of people.

This podcast examines the neurological basis of how it is that people can believe things that are so unbelievable.
