Then people wonder why people don't trust "science"

Everyone responsible for this should be in jail

Science is fine. How it is published and funded is deeply flawed.

That's why I used scare quotes

The problem is, how it's published and funded is a huge part of the institutions surrounding science, to the point that they've become plesionyms.

Unfortunately, many people can't tell the difference
