I think I trust scientist to do what they do. That is explain as best the can the objective facts. And I trust politicians to do what they do. That is make rhetoric that becomes legal precedent that becomes bodies of governing rules, that ultimately support or dissemble the laws of science depending. Science will always help one class or the other. "The times they are a changin" as Dylans lyrics still ring truthfully. And since science has shifted to support average folk who do not care for ego maniacal power trips to feel good? The esoteric folks who do seek to control everything by the above mentioned political lineage are grasping for a way to undermine science. I think Trump is doing a better job than Biden did at convincing everyone science is bad. Trump's less on the nose. Bizarre top-down laws from Biden's pint of view, to regulate modern pandemics are obviously flying to hard in the face of what crowd-science says about the nature of pandemics on interconnected planets. So we dismiss the crazy and hope for better laws of science distributed by the net. Maybe the more a disease is treated the more it becomes untreatable. Maybe you cannot fight bird flu that springs from the meat industry the same way you can fight polio that springs from human genetics?? On the other hand. Destroying infrastructure to lessen global climate change like Trump hopes, allows the climate change to destroy our faith in humanity as it destroys almost everything around us including the institutions that breed scientists. So we'll either be rich and safe and living in an elitist environment created by 'tech-science' that can be afforded and partly affording dismissing its causality as 'fact-science' or poor and disillusioned with the non-science that is too pricey to pay for clean water, ac, vitamins etc.
