1/ Let’s take a journey to where “science” got us in 2020.
Santa Clara County (CA) was the first in the US to lockdown. They "followed the science" with perhaps the longest lockdown in the world. Gyms never opened. Indoor dining *never* opened. How did that work out?

2/ Connecticut is the home of Yale and many intellectuals, so surely they followed the science.
Except now they have the highest per capita case count in the country. What about all those masks, lockdowns, and the all mighty #science?

3/ Surely progressive Massachusetts, home to Harvard, MIT, and so many esteemed scientists would follow the science.
They used #science to require people to wear masks even if miles away from others in Nov. No schools, closed businesses, and a curfew. Surely that would work?

4/ Let's visit the west coast where highly scientific California loves following the science! Remember all those beach closures?
Curfews, no schools, and destroyed businesses are a high price to pay, but surely it's worth it at the altar of #science.
How is that working out?

5/ But wait, maybe science was right and it's the people's fault! Even when separated by 2500 miles, the evil residents of CT, MA, and CA all decided to get lazy at the exact same time.
So let's not blame false idol scientists and clueless politicians. Let's blame the people!

6/ Ok ok, but it would be so much worse if they didn't follow the #science, right?
Let's look at Florida, which effectively ended COVID restrictions on Sept 25th. Those crazies with their open schools, open business, and people who get to live their lives. Barbarians!

7/ Not to be left out, NY and @NYGovCuomo love to brag about all the science they follow. It's all about the #science! Only problem is that NY/NJ have the highest per capita death rate in entire world.
If that's what it means to be a scientist in 2020, I rather be a pagan.

8/ Governments call them lockdowns or whatever they want. But restricting freedom of movement, of worship, of a basic livelihood, all while using fear, fines, and intimidation to prevent families from seeing each other... that's not science.
Those are human right violations.
