Science is one lens to view reality. So is personal experience. So is emotion.

In my experience bread makes me feel tired and anxious. Do I really need science to tell me that I should or shouldn’t eat bread? I hypothesized that bread is making me feel like crap and have confirmed it many times. I don’t believe there is a local bread scientist in my small town so I’m just going to go with my gut on this one.

It's exactly this sort of thinking that results in the dismal booster uptake numbers in the general population. Too many people "doing their own research".

You are dragging the discussion towards to a potently ideological topic with a very tenuous connection. Evidently you feel very strongly about such topic - I am wondering if you are unaware of just how much your own emotions are actually at play here.
