There is definitely truth to this. It’s more in the way of who gets grants in academia. Also there is a lot of groupthink.
Most scientists are very apolitical and just want to focus on their own research and have people leave them alone. The ones that are ambitious and want to move up play politics and those politics are almost always on the side of political correctness/liberalism.
Also a lot of times you have brilliant people with PhDs working for people with bachelor degrees (or business degree + undergrad science degree) who sometimes barely even understand the science, but know how to sound good in meetings and make twice as much as the PhDs.

There's truth to this. Here in Canada, you can be denied a scientific grant, not based on the merits of your work, but, the lack of your "diversity & inclusion" contribution. This is only going to get worse, if things continue on their current path.
It's so disappointing how tarnished science is by groupthink, bribes, politics and discouraging anyone not to think outside the box. I've learned how bad it was by learning about the food industry and more recently the studies with hydroxychloroquine.
