When everyone knows the desired outcome and will ignore the flaws in the process in order to reach it, peer review breaks down.

The idea behind peer review is sound, but only so long as the peers are reviewing the process objectively, not subjectively. When everyone knows the desired outcome and will ignore the flaws in the process in order to reach it, peer review breaks down.
Certainly an appeal to authority, im not sure if god factors in with following the science thing, some seem to think it might and there’s a dogmatic flavor the the faith displayed in those who wield power.

It's the appeal to authority. Man removes God and replaces Him with man.

Claim 2- "That is correct, cheap masks are not good at keeping OUT the virus. But they ARE quite good at keeping IN the virus. 'Normal' masks are not intended to protect the wearer, they are intended to protect others FROM the wearer"
This is insane you believe this, how the hell can it not keep the virus out but can keep it in? Masks are not a one way valve. And there is a big difference between a health care worker wearing one properly in a clinical setting and throwing it away after they see you and the average person wearing one improperly and touching it all day and reusing the same mask all day for days or weeks on end without even washing it, there is also a big difference between a real mask and wrapping a mission gaiter or bandana around your face. And why must we pre suppose that everyone has this virus that for 99+ % of the population is survivable? How scientific is it to assume 100% of the population is infected?
Health care professionals, for example Surgeons in the Operating Theatre wear those cheap throwaway masks.
real scientists are the biggest skeptics of all. They question everything . Tehy try to disprove their own theories, not prop themselves up as Science itself.
If the virus came from the Wuhan lab — which it almost certainly did — if the virus has been weaponized using so-called gain-of-function tools — which it almost surely has — and if those experiments were paid for by Fauci’s NIH — which they certainly were — then Dr. Fauci is the American godfather of the pandemic.
