This.
I am a blue-collar layman, but did actually start college with the idea of ending up somewhere in the biology or medical world. (I detoured into law enforcement, and stayed there.) Moreover, my wife has a Masters in public health, and an M.D. Though she was never licensed to practice medicine in the USA, she worked for an eye bank, and then for 21 years as a forensic investigator for the third-most-populous county in the USA, and she remains affiliated with the local OEM, on a volunteer basis. (Unfortunately, for this situation, she has to self-isolate, being in a worst-risk category for dying of COVID-19.)
Having said the above, we both see the staggering level of willful, ignorance, on so many levels, including the top elected levels of the federal government, particularly including the tweeter-in-chief, in all areas of science.
