Sadly, too many scientists have proven themselves untrustworthy. It will never be possible to “follow the science.”

On so many fronts.

What is often hidden in this is that these scientists regularly have an office at some university and have their graduate students scour the government contract solicitations. University-government sycophancy is rampant, bidirectionally.

Other government contracting companies scour those same solicitations and make it their business to know in minute detail what the government wants and for which it will pay handsomely. They, too, hire many top Ph.D.s that will do what the government will pay for.

Government is the biggest consumer of these lettered ambulance chasers' output.

We may well be getting the best weaponry that money can buy.

But what taxpayers' money can buy and is also attractive to those in government may not at all be respectful of the interests of non military-oriented taxpayers.

The "science" we experience reflects what the government has determined aforehand it is prepared to fund with their budgeted taxpayer monies (e.g., studies that support "climate change"), largely irrespective of any direct benefit to those taxpayers. That money is generally not spent on "unbiased science" in the interest of the average taxpayer or absent the influence of government's trending wish lists.
