“Experts” have agendas.
Whoever pays them owns them.
Most of the noise made about "the science" is made by folks with a political or financial axe to grind with no particular concern about participating in a scientific process to understand whatever truth there might be that is within the capacity of humans and their limitations to comprehend.
The politicization of science is absolute now. This is what happens when you squash dissent and skepticism because the “hypothesis” fits an agenda.
“Follow the science” really means “submit to our agenda”.
This applies to all political persuasions.
Just look at some of the lunatics that come around these parts.
The b.s. is thick in that one.
Tell you what, Creepy, I will follow the same guidelines that Gavin Nuisance and Nanzi Polizei practice. In other words, I will wear my mask whenever I am in the presence of a TV camera.
Funny. On another social media site, I was severely criticized for saying that one usually picks the expert who says things that they agree with.
I always bristle when I hear “follow THE science”. As if science is utterly controlled by known Laws. It’s not.
The Scientific Method is not a familiar thing to most who use the definite article in their oft-repeated declaration of what is known.
Usually, I think to myself, “‘THE science?’, they must mean ‘Political Science!’”
Follow the science? Sure.
Consider these: Biology (gestation process), biology and Sports Medicine (XX and XY chromosomes); climatology (and the influence of the solar cycle), genealogy (“Are you crossing the border with your own children?”), Economics (“So, how many jobs do we lose if we ‘Go Green?”). Medical Science (natural immunity).,. There’s more.
Making actual science more into a joke everyday.
And given most scientists are Left leaning, no outcry from them at all as the Left’s ‘what the science says’ makes a mockery of actual science.....GG.
Consider that the people gabbling most about following “The” science have never read a scientific paper in their lives and you’ll get an idea of how shallow this claim really is. These are people claiming nothing less than being the Party Of Science and who have declared sexual dimorphism to be merely a social construct. I’ve seen better science than that from tribal African witch doctors.
