Only if their science fits the narrative of the powerful. It has always been this way, think Galileo Galilei, the founder of the scientific method.

Exactly. You can find shit from the 80s and 90s that totally underplays the role of sugary drinks in obesity and a whole whack of "studies" saying that shit.

Progressives have no problem decrying the evils of pharma companies but when the same pharma companies release a study saying that all children should take their drugs so they can decide their gender they swallow it wholesale.
