Not true--I have never posted something disputing well conducted science or well-analyzed data. It is true however that some people assert silly things in the name of science--like, "my dentist's advice on COVID..."

It's also true that experts aren't perfect, and that there were a whole bunch of things that people did not know about covid at the start. One important difference between people who respect science and people who do not is that the first group tends to modify their opinions as they learn more.

It is amazing to me that a number of people on this board have steadfastly refused to change their views on covid even as we've gone from "it will be gone by Easter" to 300,000 or so dead Americans.
