The reason we can trust science and not the sickos who write comments like this is because science is - by definition - a self-questioning mechanism, thanks to which dangerous substances and corporations have been regulated. Question the right-wing 1% and corporations who push anti-science propaganda.

This should be true, but the grant funding and publishing processes work as research regulators, and evidence suppressors.

Only research favorable to the agenda is funded.

The publishing cartel functions as the secondary academic censorship.

Question the right-wing 1% and corporations who push anti-science propaganda.

I have some questions.

  • Why is the pharma industry working with big tech to silence and deplatform scientific medical critics?

  • Why are only certain limited topics publicly discussed?

  • Why are doctors being fired from hospitals when they refuse to participate in experimental gene therapy injections? These are the people who are the most familiar with the outcomes of the injected gene therapy.
    Why would they quit???

Scientific dissent has become taboo.

Per your own definition; the current "scientific" established is anti-science, in every literal sense.

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.

Socks go get your booster shots already.

They were designed for people like you.

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.
