I’m often confronted by people who demand to know how skeptics dare to criticize other people’s beliefs about medicine, biotech, and science. Others simply shrug off popular pseudoscience and say, “Why bother? What’s the harm?” The answer is that the cost of misinformation is too large to ignore. It is real. It is devastating. It is counted in billions of dollars wasted on junk cures, in billions spent on treating preventable diseases. It is measured in lifetimes shortened, bodies crippled, eyes blinded, and children lost. [...] What we are facing is nothing less than genocidal stupidity, on a worldwide scale.
