When I hear people (always Leftists) saying that one must listen to the experts and/or follow the science, I am always reminded to a day 40 years ago when my wife was in labor with my son. As it turns out, it lasted about 12 hours.
Her obstetrician was a team of two doctors who could be seen interchangeably before and during the pregnancy, and it turned out that one of them came in to check on her in the early hours and his colleague came in later, and was present when my son was born.
Making conversation with Dr. #1 - we knew we were expecting a boy - I asked him about circumcision. He responded that it was the only logical choice. The foreskin required maintenance, was superfluous, could be a source of inflammation or even infection in later years...have the kid circumcised.
Making conversation with Dr. #2, same question. "Circumcision is a barbaric, cruel, and pointless practice. I would NEVER have a son of mine circumcised."
Partners. Both experts in the field. Two different and mutually-exclusive opinions.
The same phenomenon applies, in spades, with most of the important questions on Covid 19. Masks, therapeutics, the long term efficacy of the vaccines, etc. There may be a "right" answer, but there is major disagreement on what that is, even among the experts. To say or imply that YOUR guy has the right answer and everyone else is full of shit, is childish and incorrect.
