When you hear someone in the news talking about science, that isn't science. That's someone's interpretation of science, and it has the same level of credibility as a political opinion, which is low.

Science is similar to religion in the sense that we depend on designated experts to explain to the ignorant masses -- that's us -- how to think about it.

That's why I've come to see anyone screeching "follow the science" as operating at a low level of awareness. We all WANT to follow the science. It just isn't a thing. The best we citizens can do is choose which "explainer" to believe. That gives us the illusion of being smart.

Nailed it. And when one can pull that curtain back to find truth it does little to no good to show it to others as they THINK that the hidden truth is the lie. My experience, works best (truth) with close inner circle.

Science has a peer reviewing issue. Goal oriented funding. Scientist that are in the position because of identity politics, not skill. Media coverage for the paper, not the redaction of the said paper. And media coverage is only for papers that comply with the current narrative.
