Scott Jennings: During COVID, Science Became Religion, Putting People on Pedestals, Making Candles with a Face on It...

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "I think there‘s a number of things going on today. Number one, RFK hit the right note on Capitol Hill on the polio vaccine. Polio vaccine is fine. The boss, Trump, laid down the marker, 'We‘re not touching the polio vaccine.' This was a frenzy over the last few days. This was totally put to bed today. So, that‘s number one. Number two, if I were in their shoes, I would just simply say, 'Everything we do is going to be based on science and evidence-based decision making, because that‘s all anybody really wants to hear.' And if I were further advising RFK and Donald Trump on vaccines or anything else, I would say, 'I‘d like for science to go back to be science, because during Covid and during the last few years, science became religion.' You know, when we‘re putting people up on pedestals and making prayer candles with their image on it and sewing pillows with their face on it, that‘s no longer science. That became a religion. So if I were in their shoes, I would say, 'Science is going to rule. Evidence-based decision-making is going to rule. And that‘s how we‘re going to make all our decisions.'"
