Yeah, STEM fields are often overfilled - turns out we can, in fact, have too many scientists. Especially when the "scientists" are just people with degrees that have been watered down.

The public perception of what is and isn't a scientist is also absurd.

And the fact is, scientists lie. They bullshit, they protect their reputations, they have their own philosophical and social projects. And yeah, things like the replication crisis don't get mentioned because if the public becomes skeptical of scientific claims or even science journalism, it can impact funding, which is all that matters for many of them.

I have little wonder that people are now finally saying "You know what, maybe these vaccines aren't trustworthy".
