Very relevant point. We can't trust the science if the science isn't allowed to see certain things.

  Not relevant at all. The government cannot be trusted to gather lists of protest attendees since they would be immediately used for retaliation. Statistics can be looked at in aggregate. Infections did not go up in areas with large protests.

    The BLM tribe has safer Covid behaviour in general than the other side, though, outside their protest attendance. That's a pretty big confounding variable.
