Men do not owe unlimited obedience to any earthly authority.  The obedience and submission currently demanded is what a cult does — shame and guilt manipulation coupled with enforcement mechanism that exile unbelievers from society (travel bans, employment bans, etc). The cult has its high priests:"believe the science" they preach!  If it is "science," why are we told to "believe?"  This is a struggle of men, ordinary men. Not leaders or presidents of billionaires.  Just men who refuse to go along with the cult.
