I remember scientists, especially epidemiologists being quite accurate. I guess the key is to not even have a political angle but instead some knowledge of what you are talking about.

I don’t remember that. How do you explain the total collapse of public trust in science and medical institutions?

Try revisiting their content from spring of 2020 (flatten the curve, wild death predictions, etc).

It’s a fantasy to imagine technical knowledge allows you to transcend the political and 2020 only reinforced that.
