Covid-19__Nobel laureates as Nazi scientists

Not very long ago some British politicians compared Nobel laureates to Nazi criminals:
“Gove later went on to compare pro-EU economists warning about the potential fallout of Brexit, some of them Nobel laureates, to Nazi scientists

But a recent and interesting article in the link below by Mark Carney, former Governor of the bank of England also praises scientific expertise:
"After the covid crisis, it´s reasonable to expect people to demand improvements in the quality and coverage of social support and medical care, greater attention to be paid to managing tail risks, and more heed to be given to the advice of scientific experts" https://www.docdroid.net/MDP8ntW/mark-carney-pdf

And three days ago one could read the following statement in the UNICEF website:
“Both climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic require us to listen to experts, to unite behind the science and not play politics with people’s lives. https://www.unicef.org/stories/lessons-covid-19-pandemic-tackling-climate-crisis
