Neil deGrasse Tyson regrets Covid-19 couldn’t become ‘alien invasion’ that united humanity

The US has become the world’s hardest hit country, with over 13.4 million confirmed Covid-19 cases and over 267,000 deaths, because there’s a “conflict” between those who follow medical guidelines and those who insist that America is the‘land of the free’ and they can risk their lives if they want to, the scientist explained. And very often the divide is exacerbated as the people on the other side of the debate also have opposite policy views.

“I don’t mind political fights. Political fights are fine when you’re talking about policy and legislation. But you should never have a political fight about…scientific research that has been objectively shown to be true in peer-reviewed journals,”Tyson said, adding that doing so is a “recipe for disaster.”
