Ok Juan now we can discuss. Because the govt scientists - in this case Fauci & Birks - are being contradicted by the gov't (in this case the President). Fauci & Birks have 30-40 year track records, some of the better records in fact. At this point the manipulator is the President, who is retweeting clips of alien DNA lady and anyone who goes for HCQ. Thus he has his conclusion, and I'll argue it's a position that will help him get reelected, vs Fauci, who has a 40 year track record of credibility and really has nothing to prove.
There are different ways to draw conclusions, but the scientific method has been by far the best way. Science is open - methods and data must be disclosed - and reviewed by independent experts. Science is self correcting - if a fraudulent result sneaks through, other scientists can test it and when no one can replicate the result then reveals the fraud. More often than not, it's not fraud but the limitation of the study or failing to take an important factor into account.
