Trust what science? Where is it?

Uh huh. Not that I’m particularly concerned about people who’ve chosen not to get vaccinated, but what’s your justification for that statement? How do you back it up?
“Vaccinated people are capable of getting the virus in their nose and throat, and they do seem to have high enough levels of virus that they might be contagious,” Collins said.
“And hence the reason, if you’re in a community where this virus is spreading, which is about 75 percent of counties right now, it is prudent to put on a mask, even if you’re vaccinated, just in case you might be somebody who’s currently spreading it.”
“Seem”, and “might”, and “just in case”, didn’t used to be scientific terms, and certainly not proof of anything, but the politicization of science, the substitution of the ruling party’s desired social outcomes for factual evidence has been underway for a long time now; it’s just accelerating.
