This is science's inherent weakness in the public eye: the pundits on both sides will make conclusive statements based on little data; the scientists, with all the data we have, only speak in chances, odds, and percentages.
It's not their fault, it's the correct way to speak. But both sides will spin this to suit their agenda, for better or worse, and continue to muddy the waters.
