When did medical science become a plebian democracy? I don't expect to be consulted about the material they make the seat-belt in my car out of. It's politicised because calling it anti-science would bruise some egos. This is not a political disagreement, this is an arbitrary anti-science conspiracy put forward by anti-vaxxers. The only reason it's "political" is because all the people who are questioning science just happened to vote for the same president.
And if you think the entire system is broken and needs pulling down, now is quite possibly the worst time in the history of humanity to do so.

The scientific method is all about questions. Science is a process, not an ideological orthodoxy. I support both distancing, vaccinations and treatment protocols that include antivirals such as HCQ, Ivermectin, and Remdesivir. Why? Because the latest science on clinical outcomes from drug cocktails show better outcomes through use of antivirals, immunomodulators, anticoagulants, vitamins, and many other drugs. It is an evolving field.
