These scientists are “political scientists” who use deception to shape science into a weapon to be used for social “change”. The hope got lost somewhere in the process.
In what sense is the word “following” used here? Believing their advice, or finding out who they are so as to make them pay? Alas, the former sense is all this op-ed touches upon.
NO !!!! The wor4ld is NOT flat !!!
In summary, democrats lie.
Richard Feynman explained science in 22 seconds. Modern “scientists” and “experts” have forgotten. https://youtu.be/OL6-x0modwY?t=38
The Feynman lecture series on physics were just amazing. Not at all like the political scientists on the tube today.
What the government, media, and their demonic party does to Trump is gang bullying. That is their response to an outsider standing up to their corruption. It’s a terrorist message to all others thinking about rejecting having their lunch money stolen.
Scientists are supposed to follow the scientific method, observing natural phenomena, collecting data, forming a hypothesis ... until the most learned, respected individual ‘scientist’ who controls the largest grants declares consensus and forces every one else to knuckle under or be driven out of the profession and into ruin.
That is the Scientific method as it has been practiced for centuries and only overcome when the most learned, respected individual ‘scientist’ passes away, allowing a brief breath of new thinking to enter before sealing its self over again until the next cycle.
On Climate they have been changing their minds between Ice Age and Global Warming for over 100 years.

Science + politics = ‘no longer science’
Rather than the ‘scientific method, now it’s called “peer review”, when scientists coalesce into a circular gaggle, nodding in agreement and ejecting from the gaggle any dissention/outliers, delivering righteous lambaste & professional persecution for their offense of ‘adherence to science’. This was established under the ‘climate change’ hoax and this cudgel has become the new modus operandi in the ‘business’ of science, including the funding of research (grants, as you cite).
“Peer review” has become, IMHO, a euphemism with specific definition quite different than intended. “Bully pulpit” is now synonymous.
As I have commented recently, they have done to science what Comey et al did to FBI/DOJ...
...and the lack of reaction to their crimes against their profession bodes badly for the past year’s crimes against science & the American people.
Excellent article.
Nails it.
To the Deep State, the Media, the Democrat Party (but I repeat myself), a few hundred thousand dead was a small price to pay, to get rid of President Trump.
I've been called the latter here on FR.
Anything + Politics = Politics
Gimme a break. It disproportionately affects old people.
