Protecting the Public's Health during Novel Infectious Disease Outbreaks

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This Element examines the emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in British cattle and the COVID-19 pandemic. It contends that a group of arguments called the informal fallacies functioned as cognitive heuristics and facilitated public health reasoning during both crises. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
