Are you so sure it's only conservatives? I lean left and a healthy dose of skepticism is needed in science. I've read too many abstracts and papers where the methodology sucked, the sample size was a rounding error, incorrect conclusions were made, etc. Let's not forget it was a hokey scientist who pushed the antivax shit. His license was revoked but the damage was done. Science needs to be good, proper science to be regarded as anything approaching the truth. That's why science is like medicine, a practice.

Yes I am sure. Because all of the accounts that JAQ off with idiotic shit like “how can we trust science!?” Are always new accounts, or accounts whos entire history is anti-science brigading or just outright bigotry. You can ignore the coup that the alt-right is attempting on HN all you want. The fact is that it’s happening.

  If you have evidence of this you can just mail the mods but it's offtopic in just about all HN threads for straightforward reasons.
