Since it's too late to edit that, I'll add this as a reply:
If you ("you" being a scientist) are explicit that your "science" is in service of your political agenda, then you've accomplished this:
Anyone who disagrees with your agenda will reject your "science"
As we saw with vaccines & lockdowns.
On the other hand, if they trust you to just report what the data says, even when you don't like it, then you have a chance of not being vilified.
So there you have it: if you want to stand above the Twitter mob and be believed, you have to earn back the public's trust.
