Background: This paper responds to an essay in the journal that talks about the challenges and consequent criteria in dealing with truth, which is claimed to be absolute. The target essay hinges on Aristotelian and Platonic logical principles as criteria to argue for a real scientific discourse in the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology: The paper utilizes theoretical critique. Discussion: Scientific knowledge about public health is not about absolute truth but the latest justifications. Truth could at best be a commitment to a perspective, which scientism's verificationist principles are not entirely concerned about. Perspectives: In aligning with perspectivism about truth, one does not necessarily relapse to relativism. That there are different Covid-19 reports does not mean that they are lies or distortions to a necessary absolute truth.
