I have a great deal of trust in science. It’s the majority of scientists who are just as corrupt as the majority of politicians, and for much the same reason: if you want your research funded, you have to have your conclusions pre-set bu the funders.
I have trust that the scientific method can produce informative and insightful results when followed correctly. I believe statistical significance isn’t absolute certainty. I believe in full disclosure.
None of the above was followed by the CDC et al during the pandemic. And that same bastardized pathway is still being followed.
I don’t know which agency is a bigger dumpster fire : the CDC, IRS, or FBI.
Take Covid. People with reasonable questions about the efficacy of masks and the clot shot were dismissed as heretics. I thought that was the entire POINT of science. Asking questions and being a heretic and discovering something nobody else has.
