You Must Not ‘Do Your Own Research’ When It Comes To Science

versus

The phrase “trust the science” is one of the most unscientific things you can say. (discussion)

Vaccines, science and infant mortality The "doing own research" often means just "putting the publicly available info together"

You should always do your own research when it comes to $cience.

You should always do your own research when it comes to $cience.

Official science is paid from mandatory taxes, so it will always support and promote solutions paid from mandatory taxes, these ones promoting further research the more (genetic engineering of food, mass vaccinations, fight against climatic changes etc..).

This conflict of interests represents systemic corruption of $cience and it's essentially unrecoverable and unavoidable. Therefore science can not serve as an unbiased arbiter of its own research and informed public must play this role instead.
