This rings true. As soon as it was politicized neither side will budge an inch. And scientific progress requires people being able to admit they were wrong in the face of new evidence. Egos should not be wrapped up in how many feet at which social distancing is effective and how effective masks are and when lockdowns should be enforced or let up. Its really unfortunate and, in my opinion, goes to show the two party system is bad for democracy, science, progress, etc. We need more polictical parties and ranked choice voting, and less blind following of one's parties ideals/agenda/candidates.
