If you really want to view it that way, but it’s more about trust structures than outright authoritarianism. It’s not blindly believing the “science authority” it’s having oversight bodies and watch dog organizations to call out when things don’t smell right.

Those are celebrities. Don’t listen to them. You may want to Google a guide to recognizing nerds and geeks.
