Perhaps they're aware how many scientific studies are unreplicable. Or maybe that medical error is a leading cause of death. Maybe they know about thalidomide babies.

Or perhaps they simply didn't want to take drugs pushed by people who actively hate them and demean them at every opportunity.

Or possibly they're aware of the tendency of governments the world over to use emergencies to seize power, as has undeniably been done here.

Or maybe they believe in their own version of "my body, my choice".

Possibly also they don't want to take scientific advice on people who suddenly insist that boys can be girls, and that anyone who disagrees should be banished from society.

It's foolish to think one party "owns" science, and natural that people would bristle when dictated to by perhaps the smarmiest smuggies that have ever existed on the planet.
