    Could not agree more with this statement by @MonicaGandhi9. I’ve been doing science for 45 years and find public/media use of “follow the science” to be shallow and counterproductive - deployed to suppress needed debate on issues that require it.https://twitter.com/MonicaGandhi9/status/1345297748451463168 …

    Ooh, we also must stop using the phrase "follow the science" as science is subject to bias and wide-ranging. Those working on mental health, loneliness, self-harm, poverty, impact on children are also following science. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/india-coronavirus-school-closures/2020/12/23/7e80f628-3efc-11eb-b58b-1623f6267960_story.html …

        They're the same thing. Science doesn't speak to us through a disembodied voice

        Science does not lead public health in a crisis. It may help for the next time (as in helping develop new kinds of vaccines, which science will follow up on for another year or so). But for example we could have eradicated this virus early 2020 without new science.

        (I think we still could, but not by following science: by doing what is a lot harder now, and more expensive. But the downsides of not eradicating it still seem not to be bounded.)

        Gets worse, you don't "following the science." You follow the products of science: data/evidence. So, you are "following the data." And, hopefully, you are not selectively following them -- and you can change your mind when the new data accumulate.

        Science is a verb, not a noun. Facts, theories, laws and principles are produced through doing science, but they are not science themselves.
