For the longest time, we've been lectured by certain people that if you question the data of "global warming..." sorry, "climate change" then you're a SCIENCE DENIER. Those same certain people say that if you question the guidance and data from the World Health Organization that you are ignoring the "experts" and are a SCIENCE DENIER. Those same certain people over the years have taken special glee in talking down to evangelical christians who might happen to believe in creation or intelligent design by saying that they are SCIENCE DENIERS.

In general, those certain people seem to largely be the ones demanding longer lockdowns, absolute adherance to masks, social distancing, and basically no return to normal until a magical vaccine is available.

Well, if these certain people are the arbitrators of all things science, then surely they believe in evolution, right?

And what is evolution, in a nutshell?

Natural selection through survival of the fittest.

And who are the primary targets of Covid 19?

The old. The weak. The infirm. In overwhelming numbers. Natural selection.

So, if you support endless lockdowns, dubiously effective mandatory masks, science-less social distancing, and are waiting for a vaccine that will probably never be more than 50% effective, then you are a SCIENCE DENIER.

Sounds harsh, but reality frequently is.
