When the science no longer supports the establishment narrative, the science no longer matters. This is the lesson we have learned time and time again over the course of the past few years when it comes to covid mandates and vaccine cultism. Americans in particular have been whipped with incessant claims since 2020 that the "science is settled" when it comes to mask restrictions, lockdowns, mRNA technology, etc. Yet, as time passes, every "conspiracy theory" asserted by the anti-mandate crowd turns out to be true.
