So they all signed a letter stating they were political actors and jokes of scientists and now have second thoughts. Too bad.

This is exactly how science is supposed to work. People learn some new things and they update their opinions based on that new data. That's a good thing.

The idea that people aren't allowed 'second thoughts' is probably the worst thing to happen to general discourse.

Science is not supposed to be signing your name to condemn anyone who raises a question as a conspiracy theorist.

This letter would be appropriate if people were proposing some terrible danger. It was always a stupid thing to do and the people who signed it never should. They will likely be thought of by their peers as idiots for the rest of their careers.
