Rightfully. The most reckless among us have had the biggest megaphones.
It is absolutely stunning to observe how the scientific community has reacted to the public health aspects of the pandemic. When the fog clears, one of the consequences of the pandemic will be public distrust in science and scientists.

Unfortunately I think you are right. I have been really concerned about how scientists describe weak to non existing evidence as really strong evidence.

Yes, we are already there btw, people (correctly) do not trust experts anymore unless and until they have proof they won't mix their political preferences with their counsel. Which they almost always do so... people don't trust experts (and correctly so).

What's been stunning to me is how anchored so many scientists are. Instead of changing their views in light of clear and obvious new facts, they contort them to fit their original priors. Had always believed that scientists were most fact-based - now far less so.

I think that is because they were thinking this was their moment and highlight of their career! That, and they are politically motivated

I don't get it. It's not too diffucult to get out of this carousel unless you're too busy or you have some conflict of interest.

What specifically do you mean, Martin? I mean apart from the retracted NEJM/Lancet papers, the cherry picking of evidence in top journals as if Science is non-objective, or the overly risk-averse (at the cost of economy) clinical reaction to "things we don't know", what else?
