    One thing that COVID-19 has definitely shown is that there really is no downside to scientists making monumentally wrong predictions/statements Even if people remember in a month's time, no one will care that you mislead them 🤷‍♂️

        Same can be said of those predicting US election outcomes.

        Science isn't perfect; is sometimes misused, but it works exceedingly well and is the best tool we have. When it's wrong it evolves and corrects. It's self-critical and acclimate; no amount of gainsaying or ignorance will change that. It's a reliable way of looking for answers.

        what it showed me that scientific debate is a struggle also people taking strong positions are rarely open to consider other positions cherrypicking is what I see lets try to tone it down and lets not mix debate and personal insults

        It has definitely shown that ‘following expert advice’ isnt so simple when that ranges from Laissez faire to Chicken Licken. To their credit @GladysB BH and KC focus on risk management based on evidence at a given time point, rather than fear and wild predictions
