What many folks don’t seem to understand is the difference between science and policy response. How something is determined to be from a scientific perspective is one thing. If, and how we react to it from a policy perspective is a different matter, and having different views about the proper policy reaction is a good thing. It should lead to debate and ultimately a better policy response. Science tells us Covid is a transmissible virus (the degree to which it is transmissible and exactly how transmissible are unsettled questions). It also tells us it can kill some people. The folks most likely to die tend to have co-morbidities and in many cases are elderly. I don’t think anyone disagrees on these basic science points. There are many potential policy reactions to this science. Leftists want to lock everyone up. Some people advocate doing nothing because the mortality rate is not very high. Others suggest simply protecting the most vulnerable. Regardless, the holding any of these positions does not warrant being called a science denier. These are just potential different reactions of how to deal with the science. Yet the intolerant, woke, authoritarian leftists want to incorrectly label anyone who disagrees with their lockdown strategy a science denier. It’s time to call bullshit on these people who really only want to shut down debate.
