#1 Science used to be pretty much straightforward. "Do what you oughta, add acid to water." Now you must check to see if the scientifically provable principle you want to write an article about will get you fired...

#2 Labs are racist. They wear all those white coats. White!

#3 The devil, as always in the details. New vaccines of the past were pulled when they had adverse reactions 1 in 100,000 people it was used on. Now 1 in 800 is the new number and yet still authorized.

#4 Science has always been politically driven. When you can only get grants for proving the funding providers points. It is merely science base propaganda.

#7 It used to be Test the Science. Also computer modeling works better for home decoration than it does for climate and pandemic prediction.

#8 computer modeling works better for home decoration

#10 Wasn't it the Lancet which claimed that 700,000 or something civilians were killed by the american military during the 1st half of the Iraqi war?

Totally politically driven. Never trusted them since.

#11 The list of individuals, entities and institutions that we all know are garbage seems endless at this point. Not only on the left: there is Hannity, Mitch and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The left has abandoned the position that Bush and Cheney are war criminals. We have occupied that position. I consider MTG to be a trusted voice of reason. We are through the looking glass.
