Yeah I know they've been politicized but people not believing in science is not my problem. If they don't want to wear masks that is their problem. If I ran a company I wouldn't care that masks for example are politicized, I'd just mandate that all employees wear them.

My guess is that even your below average computer scientist will have a reasonable respect for science. So, assuming that we’re talking about tech companies here, I think this is decent approach to policy.
