More and more it seems that science is being clouded by moneyed interests and greed. If we can't trust science, what can we trust?

  This is just reporting bias. I've worked (on-and-off) in various scientific fields for ~30; it has always had its bad actors. (I even helped do the statistics for some!) I'd urge you to consider following the situations: 1. Prescientific inquiry; and, 2. PreFDA food, drug, and medicine. Both of those were orders-of-magnitude worse than what we have, now. Could we do better? Sure! Is it broken? No.

    That brings a bit of hope!

    Disagree. Broken isn't a binary--the current system is far better than what came before, but that doesn't mean there aren't serious flaws in the current system.
