ResearchFlatMoon | Science Denial | The Common Script @ResearchFlatMoon | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Much like the 'Hero's Journey' is a common script outline (see Star Wars), the 'Tobacco Strategy' is used my many science deniers to promote their causes. When you see the elements of the script, you will be able to pick them out in science denial arguments.

Deny the Evidence
Claim Bias
Put forth your own experts/evidence
Say all the evidence isn't available
Create Doubt in the Science
Demand Strict Proof with no alternatives
Give people an excuse to lie to themselves

'A Frank Statement to Smokers'

Note that the physician ad was from the 1930's but makes the point.
