You stated masses aren't manipulated through science.
COVID science and climate change science are both being used to manipulate the masses.
Nothing to do with you believing in the science or not, the manipulation is real.
Where you travel, if you wear a mask, how you travel, how much you pay, all now manipulated.
As for deniers .....
science must always be open to question, or it isn't science.
religion cannot be questioned, you must have faith.
This is the basic difference between religion and science, when you can't question science, it becomes religion.
