Wow! Ignorance knows no boundaries. -----Original Message----- From: Evidence based health (EBH) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gerd Antes Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2017 2:12 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Boycott Conferences in the US With the terrible German history of the last centery as background I would like to strongly support Ami's points. To seperate science and politics is not possible in general and particularly not in the context of evidence-based .... A travel ban directly violates the production and exchange of global knowledge, and systematic lies and twisting facts damages fundamental rules of science. Difficult to see how addressing these issues on this list should be propaganda. Those who are excluded from meetings and conferences for religious reasons or country of origin certainly deserve our solidarity.
