The New Heretics

 Instead, some politicians, journalists, and (alas) scientists have engaged in vicious slander of dissident scientists, spreading damaging conspiracy theories, even with open calls for censorship in place of debate.

People who oppose lockdowns have been accused of having blood on their hands, their university positions threatened, with many of our colleagues choosing to stay quiet rather than face the mob.

UPDATE:
Dr. Rand Paul to Fauci: ‘You’re Not Wearing a Mask Because of Any Science’ - “You want to get rid of vaccine hesitancy? Tell them they can quit wearing their mask after they get a vaccine. instead of telling them the nanny state’s going to be there for three more years and you’ve got to wear a mask forever.” [More]
Yep. Roar.

If they want people to follow the science, they need to stop destroying science's reputation.
