Agreed. Science is a great tool but if you can't recognise the biases of its users you should consider it may be because the outcomes are so overwhelmingly targeted to your pre-existing world views.

I cannot like this enough! The whole “but science” retort on social media drives me nuts. We need to increase scientific literacy so that people understand how there can be divergent findings, and that there are many reasons why we need to say “it depends”.

Determining causality is very difficult and certainly there is room for divergent views but the divergence should not be on the basis of politics. Remember what Lysenko did to Soviet science.

It seems worthwhile to separate scientific activity from politics to the extent possible (e.g. minimizing political influence over CDC, FDA, etc.) and encouraging people to see scientific claims as more than "just political." 2/2
