I have no problem invoking science when it comes to vaccines.
AFAIK the science shows vaccines help or am I missing something?
The science does show vaccines help, but public policy decisions with regards to COVID policies as well as with regards to vaccination have nothing to do with science. Science is very frequently invoked whether it does or doesn’t actually support the agenda.
When it comes to a vaccine mandate, with questionable evidence about the extent to which masks/vaccine prevent the spread of Omicron, the “my body, my choice” anyi-mandate argument is much more plausible.
