Science has never been so present in public space as during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and yet it allowed for very diverse interpretations and very strong anti-science reactions. How can we explain to the youngest what are the merits and limits of science? In this article we use the very contrasting discussions of the pandemic response to explain what science is and dispel some more simplistic claims to its successes.
