>They were not harangued for being anti-science or conspiracy theorists.

This is not the least bit true.

There was a PBS interview with one of the scientists on President Biden's Covid advisory council who spoke up about how disappointed he was with his colleagues in public health who would not speak out against the mob on the efficacy of cloth face masks to protect against an airborne virus.

The problem here is that CDC did not want to acknowledge they might be wrong. Even a slight suggestion asking that we concduct a study (at least parse data from Californa and Florida) is considered as “conspiracy”.

we need to get humble scientists: the ones which do science with the goal to find the truth but not one which just want to be right and have too much pride admitting wrong.
