I just found you, and this made me decide to read everything else you are going to write, so please keep it up.
That’s it, really, I’ve nothing topical to add.

The following piece (and many of the author’s other works) may be part of the solution. Peter Sandman is a risk communication consultant. Below is a link to his advice about how public health officials should handle members of the public who have beliefs about Ebola that are well outside the mainstream. His advice is generalizable to the problem of increasing empathy (and sympathy) between ideological opponents so that substantive communication can occur.

If someone misses a flight because of a fever that isn’t Ebola they might not mind it if their was no additional cost to them to get a later flight. A danger to the US will come when someone desperately needs to hide a fever or to not reveal who they were with for the past three weeks. As long as a few people are getting infected the US will continue one tier rapid response Ebola care, and maybe no one will die unless Ebola becomes one more complication for a very sick individual.

But Pakistan is another matter I am glad the Pakistani peace keepers back from the Congo are getting a three week quarantine, a one in a million chance of being sick matched by the millions who would die if Ebola got out of hand there.

Combining the study above with the conclusions from Kunka’s study, we see that people are prone to morally defending a position they are expected to even though is not their own, and that the reasoning they use may depend on their audience. This suggests that views on morality may well be driven by the popular narratives of the company people choose to keep. […]
