      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.

      None of us are "following the science." We are following people who tell us they can accurately interpret science and create rational policy from it. Sometimes they are right. But you and I can't tell in advance which times those people are right. We only imagine we can.

      Are the people interpreting science for us usually right, usually wrong, or something closer to a coin toss? You and I have no idea.

      "Science" -- as it is used by the public and politicians -- has become something closer to a con game. The "real" science is behind a curtain and unavailable to the public. What we see are humans telling us what to think about the science, backed by studies we can't judge.

      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.

          You don't need to stream into the comments to sciencesplain to me what science is and how it works. Assume I know that, and assume you're missing the point if you are leaving that type of comment.

          Until there's a body of peer-reviewed published research that settles the science this is correct.

          Anyone who says ‘the science is settled’ doesn’t understand science...

          We build massive institutions like the CDC not to be our priests, but as a sensible service to society. Sometimes a contrarian may be right, but in general it's ignorant to ignore them and listen to some youtuber. The distrust generated by "drain the swamp" politics is a problem.

          Does this mean we can at least agree to disagree that Ivermectin is the is one of the best therapeutical treatments for coronavirus? I don't know your stance on it for sure, but I feel like I should at least have the right to a doctor who would prescribe it for me/my family

          Interesting to note that the science explainers are, for the most part, twenty-somethings interpreting the interpretation of another twenty-something with not much of a science background.

          But you can look at very large statistical data sets and use that info to help shape your view. It's hard to spin the data that 1.9M Swedish students and 104,000 Swedish teachers have kept schools open safely, for example.

          The quote has the same value as " common sense gun legislation" and "comprehensive immigration reform" . All three quotes evoke emotion, but have no specific meaning.

          Agreed. Here’s a dose of scientific reality. Evolution is not science— it’s a non-theistic religion. Enormous Phyla gaps in the fossil record blow up theory. Extrapolation of fact as a scientific theory absent. Moreover, science & math meld beautifully with the creation model.
