> I find it incredible that people are capable of discrediting the very process that resulted in the platform for their ability to express that. Nobody was trying to discredit science. Some people refer to "science" (in quotes) because any criticism of a policy or individual was cynically dismissed as a criticism of science itself. "So it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science" is an actual quote by someone in power to shut sceptics down. The people who used science as a shield from criticism of course wanted everyone to forget that in complex situations, especially in a new situation where not enough data is available, it's very common that scientists disagree on something. Being sceptical of a scientist's interpretation of reality is actually science.
