The scientific establishment has already lost all credibility. Science will survive. But the credibility of the scientists? Not so much.

They are human, morally fallible, every man has his price, and scientists can be bought and sold like any other. You can easily get people to say what you want them to just by knowing which kinds of pressures to apply to them.

Science only works one way. The left usurping the word “science” to use in their religion and propaganda campaign doesn’t change science. One of the stupidest phrases I’ve heard was uddered by hillary clinton: “the science has been settled!” That phrase has no meaning. Media propagandists have turned the public view of science to see it no different than witchcraft (of which there is no science of witchcraft.) never just believe a scientist, especially a “funded” scientist. Read their science, repeat their research and verify it. That is science.

Very much so. The modern church of scientism has utterly corrupted the understood meaning of science. The vast majority of the general public have no idea what science actually is.

Science began to be corrupted in post-WW2 Western nations with the environmentalists of the 1960s. Remember when they campaigned to stop the building of more nuclear reactors? Remember when they blocked the Concord SST from flying anywhere in the US except New York? Remember their costly campaigns to save the snail darters? Remember Silent Spring? Remember the ozone hole? They threw science out the window in favor of emotional appeals. And those appeals were to a large degree successful. Remember global warming? A complete farce, but it's still going on today. The Covid hysteria is only an extension of what has been going on for the past fifty years and more. Add to this suicidal insanity a greater and greater number of non-whites in science, and you magnify the liklihood of corruption, incompetence, and bad science.
