RE: The Confirmation Bias, Bias (the most deadly biases often--like fatal diseases--go unnoticed)

in #vaccines7 years ago

Wonderful post. Thanks so much for sharing it. I actually agree with your point about issues that confirmation bias can bring. I believe it can occur from our desire to believe something to be correct. They believe in the concept so much they only pay attention to information that confirms their world view but rejects any information that runs contrary to their beliefs. However, this is a bias that can lead to many errors. A person needs to look at information that runs opposite to their beliefs so they can make the best informed decision possible.
