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.
Have a look at the medical science concerning the treatment of ulcers, and how that changed, and changed radically, 15 or 20 years ago.
If we had settled for the accepted science, a lot of people would continue to be in pain.
Rubert Sheldrake has a classic lecture on “The Science Delusion”.
