Bingo. There's nothing scientific about the policies being put in place, but yet people resisting policy decisions are very quickly labelled "anti-science". Data and science are reframed and cropped into the form of political weapons as it currently stands. No more seeking a verifiable truth, just clobbering one another with our set of carefully selected facts.
