Covid vaccines: TRUST THE SCIENCE!
Man/Woman: NOT THAT SCIENCE!
AGW: (while cherry picking data) TRUST THE SCIENCE!

Remember when we were taught this?



Now this method goes:

1. Observation/Question
2. Research Topic Area
3. Hypothesis
4. Test with Experiment
5. Toss out data that doesn't fit your hypothesis
6. Report bullshite conclusions because you cherry picked your data

No science is settled and there is no scientific consensus. There are widely varying degrees of acceptance among the scientific issues being debated in the political realm.

Therein lies the problem.

Science is being decided by the political realm and not the science itself.

You also now see literally dozens of companies having advertisements with the wording "it's science" or "made with science".

The message is strong everywhere.

“Science” has been used as a power-word to shut down discussion for decades, it was just in smaller circles.

Yes because none of what the public sees is the actual science.

What we see are media reports telling us their thoughts about what the science says.

The left have no problem hijacking our most sacred institutions for political leverage. They really are scumbags.

The very foundation of the scientific method is to distrust science.

People don't trust science. They trust their TV.
