One of those people is the new COVID-19 policy adviser to the White House, Dr. Scott Atlas, who apparently looked at the full spectrum of data and made a decision about it that the left didn't like because it went against its narrative.
According to Victor Davis Hanson at National Review, Atlas has been very adamant that the U.S. must follow the science on COVID-19 and make decisions based on what they find, and what Atlas found was that people under the age of 65 rarely die from the virus.
Many in the media, some of his former colleagues at Stanford Medical School, and some other Stanford faculty members have claimed that Atlas - a colleague of mine at the Hoover Institution - has acted unprofessionally.
Few if any of these complainants have cited supporting evidence, either from what Atlas has written or said.
Often the accusations turn puerile, suggesting that Atlas can't be a public-health expert because he was originally a neuroradiologist.
If that's the case, then the only people not following the science are the people demanding more draconian lockdowns and Atlas is one of the few sane people in the room.
While there is a lot of data out there, opinions on the data have Americans in a state of utter confusion thanks to a media and politicized scientific community that would much rather play politics during an election year than actually look at the data and decide whats best that way.
