Reflections on the storm of grabbing salt

Since the Japanese earthquake triggered the "nuclear crisis" of nuclear power plants, "the sea area in China is polluted by nuclear substances, and the sea salt produced in the future is unsafe and inedible"; Many specious rumors such as "iodine-containing substances can prevent nuclear radiation" quickly spread throughout the country, triggering a vigorous storm of "grabbing salt". At this time, ordinary things such as salt, soy sauce and pickles suddenly became "rare things are precious", which led to the skyrocketing value and became "imported goods" and were snapped up.

I deeply lament this matter: the power of rumors is incredible: does the nuclear crisis have anything to do with iodized salt? People have unconsciously fallen into this trap and paid a lot of money for high-priced salt. The national salt storage is sufficient, indicating that China's mineral salt can be eaten for thousands of years; Relevant experts also quickly demonstrated that iodine has no preventive effect on nuclear radiation. Many people are still busy snapping up storage, as if possessed.

This sudden and widely circulated rumor reminds me of the rumor of "hairy monster" that I have seen in books. In the early days of liberation, rumors of the "hairy monster" spread all over the country, saying that the "hairy monster" was ferocious and terrible, and would eat children's hearts and livers. Although no one has seen the so-called "hairy monster", everyone lives in fear every day and has not recovered for a long time, causing many unnecessary losses.

In fact, many rumors are not clever. As long as you think calmly, you can find how ridiculous this is. As for the above two rumors, since no one has seen Mao Guai and no one has died because of Mao Guai, how is it possible? Obvious nonsense; Everyone can only eat 3-5g of salt a day. What is the need to snap up salt? People have never fulfilled these rumors, but they often interfere and hurt them, but rarely accept the lessons of blindly believing them. Once a new rumor comes, they still believe it, spread it correctly, and once again become prisoners of rumors and fall into the trap of rumors.

Facts have proved that the spread of rumors can only disturb people's hearts and social order, bring unnecessary losses to social and economic development, and bring disaster to the country and the people. If there is "profit", it is only beneficial to some unscrupulous businessmen to take the opportunity to collect money and to some people with ulterior motives. We should conscientiously sum up and accept the lessons of rumors and rumors, learn more about the major policies of the party and the state, learn more advanced scientific knowledge, use more brains, have more sense of social responsibility, and strive to be a wise man who stops rumors and rumors, instead of always being confused by rumors and rumors and becoming victims of rumors and rumors.
