“Listening to the science,” is a great political slogan. But actual science means you observe and hypothesize. “Science,” when used in the vernacular of our politicians and media, constantly changes, yet the policies (ie, temporary lockdowns don’t work to eradicate viruses), don’t change until it’s politically expedient to change them.
Is that the kind of science you’re talking about?
Furloughfuntime has a great post above. Too bad the science has been completely weaponized by politicians from both sides, but definitely much more so by the left.
How many CV deaths can be attributed to the way in which early patients’ symptoms were first treated? Were ventilators really the right answer? Types of steroids? Nursing home policy? Not throwing spears, just asking questions. CV treatment protocols have changed and the death rate dropped-scientific method. Point is, while the “scientific method” has proven imperative in human progress, “science,” especially when twisted into a verb by politicians and the media, is far from perfect and should never be used as a reason to justify policy.
