re: Those who distrust science, facts, and/or the government...why?

... I started to answer your question but realized I'd have to type a 10 page report to say everything I wanted to say.

Corruption because of money from the powers that be is so prevalent nowadays that everyone and everything should be questioned.

It's not that I think these scientists are bad scientists in the sense that they aren't capable.

It's that they may have agendas that don't align with merely achieving good science for whatever reason.
