In all these discussions we forget that science is “created” by humans and thus just as fallible as humans are.

“Trust in science or “because science” are just ways to shut down discussion or lines on inquiry that dare question the existing narrative.

Don’t believe me? Here’s an example.

Have you ever wondered, just hypothetically, if the Covid outbreak may have had any relation to the bio research lab located in Wuhan?

Well, you can’t wonder about that. If you do, being called a conspiracy theorist is the nicest thing anyone will say about you. If you think this is a good thing then you’ll be in for a rude awakening hen you happen to find yourself on the wrong side of the “scientific” debate.

Yes, "trust the science" in covid times means "trust the narrative pushed by the mainstream media". The fact your comment is downvoted with no actual counterargument seems to prove this point.

There is no argument to counter. It's entirely speculative.
