    It’s calling for coordinated collective action.

    The “coordinated” part is what I have an issue with because who decides this coordination? Inevitably it will be the government, which means their agendas will flip widely depending on the party or the elected leader. It would be a chaotic mess going from one extreme to the other every four years or so.

    Also the pandemic was proof that even scientists were not immune to being persuaded by politics. They despised Trump and his claim that covid came from a lab yet they refused to investigate until Biden came into power because at that time the pandemic situation was improving and people weren’t paying attention. The CDC also eventually admitted that their vaccine boosters weren’t necessary for the 18-49 age group when the omicron variant was spreading. Fauci was also culpable at various moments during the pandemic.

      Agree to disagree. I imagine that fhe government can attempt to influence it and if it does then… it’s back to the status quo, basically. Your claim about the pandemic would basically confirm that such is already happening.
