NZ Green MP Steffan Browning says giving his support to a call for the World Health Organisation to deploy homeopathic remedies to combat the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Mr Browning this week signed a petition started by Australian Fran Sheffield which calls on the World Health Organisation (WHO) to
End the suffering of the Ebola crisis. Test and distribute homeopathy as quickly as possible to contain the outbreaks.
Asked whether he thought homeopathy could cure Ebola, Mr Browning said:
It’s not for me to go down that track at all.
The World Health Organisation, world health authorities are doing that.
They will be considering I hope absolutely every possible options to this very concerning disease.
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said the petition did not reflect the position of the party, and agreed it was unwise of Browning to have signed it.
Green party health spokesman Kevin Hague said he was "disappointed" Browning had signed the petition.
Browning is also on the record has been anti-GMOs, and is the green party spokesmen on genetic modification as well as the range of science-based portfolios such as agriculture and biosecurity.
To listen to most pundits, evolution, stem cells, and climate change are the only scientific issues worth mentioning—and the only people who are anti-science are on the right of politics.
Those on the left have numerous fallacies of their own. Aversion to clean energy programs, basic biological research, and even life-saving vaccines come naturally to many progressives. These are positions supported by little more than junk-science and paranoid thinking.
Concerns about vaccine safety and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are often held up as evidence of anti-scientific beliefs among liberals. The anti-GMO movement is a product of the political left and has reached levels of delusion, paranoia and anti-intellectualism worthy of Michele Bachmann and young-earth creationists.
Though 70 percent of scientists support nuclear power, left-leaning organizations such as Greenpeace and the Sierra Club strongly oppose it.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
