As a scientist that has known for a long time that the sun controls the weather, and that no one really believes that there is a catastrophic carbon dioxide problem if they don’t advocate for nuclear power. I. E. All the scientists who said they could save the planet with taxes from the UN and solar panels and wind turbines were not serious people.
I have also known that it is risking one’s employment to have an honest assessment, any scientist of any minimal capacity has admitted to me in private conversation that they just think they are smarter than the ‘peasants’ and will lie misrepresent what they discovered in their research for the politics that pay them a salary.
It’s possible that in some fields they haven’t hit the edges of funding and they project their own scientific integrity onto others when it’s not merited.
The CDC had a web page that went over how if a person had caught a disease and recovered they, SHOULD NOT, take the vaccine for that disease because the likelihood of an adverse effect multiplies.
They took it down and started saying the opposite. I will never trust the mainstream medical system again.
Also real science is a process, and dissent is an important part of that process. Any one who says trust the science is the opposite of a scientist.
We know Trump didn’t know where to target his defunding, he is much smarter and more studious than his opponents give him credit for, but he doesn’t have the time to read all the grants, or even know the technical language to look for. He has a legion of brave real scientists ones who spoke the truth in the face of the threat of canceling.
There will be no brave stand in the sciences because the scientists capable of a brave stand have been standing against these political fools.
