Confirmation bias (CB) is a cognitive bias that allows us to fool ourselves by selectively filtering data and distorting analyses to support favored beliefs or hypotheses. In this article, I will briefly review some classic experiments from cognitive psychology that illustrate what a powerful, pernicious, and insidious force CB is. I will then discuss how to recognize CB in our own thinking and behavior and describe specific elements of good experimental design that can mitigate its effects.

Background: In the 1940s to 1950s, high-dose folic acid supplements (>5 mg/d) were used clinically to reverse the megaloblastic anemia of vitamin B12 deficiency caused by pernicious anemia. However, this treatment strategy masked the underlying B12 deficiency and possibly exacerbated its neuropathological progression. The issue of masking and exacerbating B12 deficiency has recently been rekindled with the institution of folic acid fortification and the wide-spread use of folic acid supplements.

Objective: Epidemics impact individuals unevenly across race, gender, and sexuality.

Drawing on Critical Race Theory (CRT), we examined the experiences of gay, bisexual, queer, and other men who have sex with men (GBQM) of colour facing discrimination during COVID-19.
