You are referring to abuses of scientific work, not to science itself. I am not referring to the 'established' or to corporations, or to process. I am referring to scientific facts. Propaganda aimed at getting people to distrust science is truly aimed at complete idiots who aren't expected to question their sources. What the right-wing propagandists don't want to put too fine a point on is the corporate corruption tht you mention. This is because those corporate folks are paying for the propaganda, to get GOP hacks and others elected, so that regulations on corporations can be dropped. Look at the financial interests of those involved. The 'science' is not the problem here. Indeed, only those who are focused on facts and science will have a way of addressing the corrupt corporations and .01% and politicians. Focus on these latter folks, their abuses and their investments in dumbing down the discourse on science in order to manipulate voters into voting for right-wing candidates who can only win on lies. If the 99% were more aware of the abuses of the 1%, none of the far-right GOP would be reelected. Science is not problematic - as it is marely a tool for determining facts and for finding scientific solutions.

Still shilling for big science.

There is no "big science". Cut it out, Node.

Chomsky would tell you to stop using his name, especially while you're pushing right-wing disinformation for the sake of the .01%. He'd ask you to think of the 99%, and to support their concerns.

Socks.

Go get your booster shots. ASAP.

You are putting others at risk. Quit being so selfish.
