Left hemisphere science:

People are sick. Let's find THE cause. Ok it's viruses or bacteria. Problem solved.

Now let's find toxic chemicals that can kill these viruses to help people. (Never mind that toxic chemicals introduce their own issues)

Right hemisphere science:

There are a lot of factors to sickness. Viruses are a misinterpretation of the result of such sickness as the cause. How about we treat the obvious issues first, see what happens before we "go nuclear" with toxic drugs and shots?

Cult science thinking: (left brained with a dash of right brained "harmony" feelings)

The people who question virus theory are like flat earthers because we absolutely know that viruses exist. Our authorities told us so. It doesn't matter that there are huge doubts in how viruses are proven because we know the truth. Anyone who questions the truth is obviously crazy. And no, we are not crazy because we trust an authority over the actual data.

Great Summary thanks, It reminds me of an Alan Watts quote "We do not really know how to interfere with the way the world is. The way the world actually is is an enormously complex interrelated organism. The same problem arises in medicine, because the body is a very complexly interrelated organism." Our thinking has become so mechanised, left brain thinking cannot see the interconnectedness of everything. From Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein's book, "Complex systems are just that, complex systems. Reducing them to a few easily observable, easily measurable parts can feel like success, but reductionism generally comes back to bite those who practice it."
