the main problem is that right derps simply do not understand how science works, especially in the realm of advisory science.
When science assesses the threat of an incoming storm and says it 'looks big and dangerous, take precautions' and the storm comes thru with no damage, science is NOT wrong. But derps love to use the fallacy of Results based Thinking, to say 'if it turns out the assessment was correct after the fact, that means you were wrong to say it up front'.
That is NOT how science works, but you as a derp will not understand what i just said. I don't think right derps finished a science class.
At the beginning of any new Pandemic deadly disease where they are not sure if it 'contact spread', 'spread by breath' or 'other' the science should always advise we take the path of maximum protections (masks, etc) and then scale those back as new learnings come in.
Right derps then WRONGLY think any measure taken that proves unneeded after the fact, proves them wrong when it does not.
