Covid-19 dissenters—or the virtue in being less cheerful
Kamran Abbasi
Abstract
Dissent is under threat. To disagree is to affront. To protest is to break the peace. To argue is to fight. Disagreement, protest, and argument help us get nearer to the truth, and marginalising them is against the very essence of science and democracy. This is happening today, all around us, and the pandemic has moved us further, faster, and for the worse.
