They keep yelling “follow the science” while completely ignoring or ridiculing science that goes against their pro-mask, pro-lockdown, pro-vaccination narrative.

There is a pretty popular Christmas event where they put lights around the zoo… All visitors must show proof of vaccination and must wear a mask. Outdoors. In an attendance limited event.

And people wonder why nobody takes this stuff seriously. Because not a bit of it makes sense.

There's science proving that covering your mouth to prevent spread of germs and getting vaccinated doesn't work?

That's a bold claim. I'd like to see your science.

Signed, person living in a country with almost no ongoing infections and with a high vaccination and mask-wearing rate.

"They" is mostly people on social media and partisan news orgs. Not health institutions or scientists.
