Wow. Public Policy and Academic Discussions are not the same thing. If you tell 100M people to change their lives dramatically, there's a 100% chance death threats will be involved. There are always naysaysers. We got death threats when seatbelts were legally enforced. That's not to say public policy is always correct. But what we talk about in inner circles, what we publish ... should be open. We shouldn't be oppressing such-and-such periodical because they say this or that. Unfortunately, publications do make their way into the headlines as Fox and CNN pluck, selectively from the stack and misrepresent findings to suit their narrative. Which may in fact point at the real problem ... making better firewalls between 'serious discussion' and 'public communications'. Scientists don't like being misrepresented either.
