I'm gonna reluctantly jump in here ... You are 100% correct when referring to MEDICAL SCIENCE. I think that statement needs qualifying.
Not all science is a sham. It is in fact bastardized and weaponized. Especially Medical Science.
As someone who spent a lot of time with actual, no shit scientists, I can tell you most of them wouldn't have the first clue how to be deceptive or nefarious. It just is not part of their programming. That's why they have a tough time getting laid. Zero ability to 'game'. The RARE RARE RARE ones that ARE in FACT nefarious, are fucking hyper-nefarious. FukfaceFauci is a prime example.
EDIT: i HAVE GIVEN THIS POST A LOT OF THOUGHT. i RETRACT MY DEFENSE. CLUELESS NERD OR NOT ... THEY KNEW.
That is why I modified $cience with the dollar sign. Obviously the scientific method is still valid, but nowadays just about anyone actually practicing the scientific method is slandered as a heretic, especially if they reach any kind of conclusion that counters the narrative of the white-coat scientific priest class. Genuine scientists should have done more to resist this takeover, but they were weak and apparently out-numbered from the start, just like every other field and industry, so their cowardice is not unique. But now they have to be mocked, called out, and shamed, just as we do to journalists, doctors, teachers, cops, politicians, and entertainers.
This post is what we call on the range ... Dead Center Mass.
Genuine scientists should have done more to resist this takeover,
Scientists everywhere, in EVERY field of study are culpable. They knew ... THEY ALL FUCKING KNEW ... and only a tiny fraction stood their ethical ground. They should have been standing up and screaming at the top of their lungs. They WERE cowards. Complete fucking chicken shit, curled up in a ball, sissy ass fucking cowards. As a research scientist, I will never let this go ... and yes, I have lost MANY friends that were in my professional orbit because I called them out. Fuck them ... Rule number one ... Never compromise your integrity. My observations have been that the majority couldn't deal with the pressures that came with opposing the narrative, and just cowered in fear. Disgusting.
