Science isn't a one-and-done thing, it's a constantly evolving field with new research being done all the time. It's okay if you get overwhelmed by that and can't keep up with the constantly changing landscape, all you have to do is listen to the expert in that field who's spent decades of their life researching and understanding it.

Anything else is the definition of wilful ignorance.
Thanks for confirming the UK Government aren't actually doing u-turns, simply following the advice of experts
