Sorry, but of course one can question any part of science, especially the parts the State uses to justify their decisions. It ain't some holy text. That's exactly why the m0r0ns thought for 2,000 years that the Earth was flat, because nobody dared question something so "common sense" (even before the Church considered it blasphemy).
I would almost say that it's a patriotic duty to have a healthy dose of skepticism towards the government, and towards current dogmas.
And you can't put history in the same sentence, because history cannot be tested and verified experimentally. That's usually written by the victors.
As a physician, one should doubt a lot of things in one's specialty. That's what makes a good doctor. I discard as useless 90%+ of the critical care papers I read.
And I'm the kind of guy that has had a ton of vaccines in his life. I just don't think all of them are worth it, or for everybody, without any risks vs. benefits considerations. Every drug in medicine has side effects, why wouldn't vaccines have too? I think the level of our medicine is extremely primitive, and 100-200 years from now they'll look at us the way we look at healers from 1000 years ago.
I also tell patients what I would do and what I would advise my family to do in a certain situation and why, the pros and cons. It usually gets across. Same for the government. They should talk to people, not at people. Of course, if DeSantis peddles fake science, that's a different story.
P.S. Sorry, you pushed a button. I see so much dogma around me, on an almost daily basis, that it drives me nuts when I hear that science should not be questioned, especially when coming from the government.
