As a trained scientist, I'm skeptical of these calls for "scientific consensus". Sure, there are many areas of science where there is clear consensus. But if you're talking about a new area of science, where we don't have much data, it's not unusual for experts to not agree on things.

And sure, one of them is likely right and one wrong, but we won't know which one until we get more data.

These statements are true in general, of course.

Now, as for the current pandemic, data is plenty already.
