I say, Don’t trust verify.
Science has objectively verifiable data. When people laugh and mock at “trust the science” it is meaningless. Data is data is data. Interpreters can be wrong or misle...
Data is data is data is total nonsense. The standards for good data is so low that many clearly black criminals are listed as white to intentionally skew crime data. The number of Somali kids in daycare is completely made up. The number of people who died in hospitals from Covid was substituted with the number of people who died with Covid. Big difference.
