The problem is the applied political interpretation of Science by appointed bureaucrats and Big Pharma. Like the idea of "social distance" which has no scientific grounds whatsoever, but was dicatated from above by Scott Gottlieb at the FDA. In truth he admitted "nobody knows where it came from". It just sounded nice, and they went with it.[1]
But when I question the utility of plexiglass screens at check-out counters (which I would and _still_ just need to crane my neck around so I can actually hear what the clerk is saying), I'm treated like a heretic for not "trusting" science. What the hell is that? The problem is that I'm right, and most other people believe what's on TV and artificially "trending" on Twitter, and those media hijack good-natured peoples' sense of trust and deferral to credentialism.
