Wired Middle East - Summer 2020

この号では

WIRED Middle East’s Summer edition focuses on Bill Gates’ biggest challenge in the Covid-19 era: to win over the minds of the anti-vaxxers, at the time it matters most. Exposing the extent of a largely hidden movement in the Middle East, WIRED shows how anti-vaccination sentiment is quietly gaining a foothold, posing a potential risk as the world prepares for a mass immunization drive to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The issue examines how, given a rising tide of corona conspiracy theories globally—with some of the most outlandish directed at Bill Gates himself—the battle for public opinion is becoming just as important as developing a vaccine. Other notable features in WIRED’s The Makers issue, which profiles the entrepreneurs leading the “Made in the Middle East” revolution, include “What’s Really on Your Plate,” which looks at new DNA tests that found the Arabic food you’re eating might not be what you think it is, and “The Middle East’s Fake-Art Sleuths,” which probes the art and science behind detecting knockoff paintings.
