In my opinion this has nothing to do with science and with experts being right or wrong.

It‘s people deciding stopping the spread of COVID-19 isn‘t as important as protesting for their civil rights.

You can‘t dismiss the science just because people have different priorities and decide to act against it because of that.

I also wouldn‘t say it‘s hypocrisy at least not by the protestors and scientist.

Maybe it’s hypocrisy by the media because they didn‘t state that they agree or disagree with protests because they think another issue is more or less important than the pandemic.

People died alone and couldn’t have funerals because epidemiologists said it was too dangerous. A week later, those same epidemiologists were cheering on mass demonstrations.

It’s pretty clear that these “experts” are abusing their status as supposedly objective scientists to advance a political movement. Why should anyone trust anything they say?
