Who is "the crew"? Nature magazine? I'm largely unfamiliar with them.
Meanwhile, anyone with a basic grasp of science will know that "six
feet' is a threshold for an arbitrary likelihood of contagion, and not a magic border that germs dare not cross.
As for this being an "own", what *I* take from it (and I do think it's credible) is that the Left public is less prone to take things on faith.

Which was my original point. Claiming that the Left cites the science more often than the Right depends on the science being cited and whether it's actually something that has been subjected to the rigors of the scientific method or something that's just being called "the science" to further an agenda.

If you believe men can get pregnant, faith is all you're taking it on.

modern aviation. Pigs could have been (and maybe were) carried aloft in
hot air balloons in centuries past. Gunpowder is believed to have first
been discovered in China many centuries ago when a pig sty containing
all the ingredients in gunpowder was somehow ignited. (I'm picturing a Chinese farmer hearing a strange noise from his pig sty one night going
to check it out; since it's dark, he lights a torch so that he can see.
A spark from his torch ignites the gunpowder and KABOOM.) I feel sure
any pigs in the pig sty went flying at that moment.
But men still can't get pregnant and never have been. (I won't say they
never will because science may find a way to do it someday.) Merely redefining women as men, calling them "trans-men" and then noting that
these "men" are pregnant is mere sophistry.
