Try­ing to play to people’s fears in an effort to stop them from being informed will surely fail. Espe­cially when research from none other than Har­vard is being pub­lished. Try­ing to com­bat infor­ma­tion with fear doesn’t work for long (one need only look at some pre­vi­ous US admin­is­tra­tions to see that). Indeed, the only effec­tive way to go up against infor­ma­tion is with cred­i­ble and con­vinc­ing counter-information.
