Well scientists are shitty. For example, the entire masking bullshit could have been avoided if the science policymakers just said "hey we don't have any evidence, just dont be an asshole and put a mask on". That's not what happened, and they discredited themselves. Guess what. The public does know what the scientific method is, and they smelled a rat. Why should we trust scientists if they violate their own principles? > continuous attacks Yeah. These are often warranted. Scientists MUST be held to a higher standard because (unless they're funded by HHMI) they're using the public purse. > diminishing returns That's a real thing. It's not supposed.
