She said what she said!! The science absolutely should NOT get in the way of this. That was what she started the quote with from GEOTUS himself. There’s a reason he wanted it said exactly in that way.
Our elected officials’ job (especially the President) is to make JUDGEMENT calls based on values. Science is one aspect of the equation.
Falling into the trap of prioritizing science at all costs is the game the leftists want us to play. They have successfully politicized academia and science itself. Even if the institutions are not all corrupt the filtration of information absolutely is (whether due to social media, MSM, and/or grant contingencies).
Besides, nowhere in human history did we not collectively assume the greatness and infallibility of our unprecedented scientific achievements and understanding only to be proven wrong later.
I would not want to live in a “Scientocrity” ever. It’s not even possible as the use of value adjudication will inevitably become necessary. We all need to comprehend and defend this vital distinction, and trust in our public servants, with the full understanding that their power rests in us, the people.
Thus, blindly trusting “science” is anti-democratic. Even attempting to justify every decision on science plays into their hands. Think of the “scientific truths” that are en vogue these days (climate change, gender confusion, anti-religion, anti-capitalism, racial grievances, I could go on).
We MUST fight back against this notion of caving to science and spread the truth that this country, and all successful societies, are and should be founded on the wisdom of tradition, multivariate viewpoints, and ultimately the will of the freedom-loving people, for better or worse.
