Steve Milloy: Junk Science's Regulatory Overreach and Risk Misapprehension
Steve Milloy passionately critiques the misuse of science, specifically epidemiology and risk assessment, to advance agendas under the guise of public health and environmental protection. Steve passionately critiques the misuse of science, particularly epidemiology and risk assessment, to forward agendas under the pretense of public health and environmental protection. With a foundation in science, statistics, and law, he has spent over three decades exposing what he terms "junk science"—scientific research and conclusions he views as manipulated or flawed, used to support harmful or misleading policies. Mr. Milloy illuminates issues in epidemiology, environmental regulation, and public health crises, arguing that often, fear and regulatory actions significantly outweigh the actual risks. Key topics include his criticism of linear no-threshold models for radiation exposure, the challenges in nuclear energy development due to regulatory overreach, and the misrepresentation of environmental and health risks such as radon exposure and asbestos. We also delve into broader themes of scientific integrity, regulatory overreach, and the impact of misinformation on public policy and perception.
