There is no such thing as immutable "The Facts" or "The Science". You are not adhering to the process and spirit of science if you are never questioning the consensus. I will spare you from the Copernicus analogies.
This is especially true when "The Facts" are not a controlled lab experiment or a logical derivation, but real time data collected in a chaotic enviromnent of the pandemic by a wide variety of actors with different level of methodological rigor and - please do not deny this - often political and financial motivations. It is not the way of science to put such Facts on the pedestal and refuse to question them just because they fall out of line.
