It seems anyone but a scientist is trusted in New Italy anyway!
We've been hearing for years, decades, all the D-rat's policies are ''science'' (and everythig else is ''racist''). Once something is politicized, people stop trusting it.
Intentional or not, much of what we've been told about this - and was deemed ''science'' - has turned out to be not true, contradictory, or just plain wrong. Much of what's ''allowed'' seems to be politically beneficial to those making the decisions.
The results are what one would expect.
