I think most scientists want to do it right, but the bureaucracies are more interested in the expected answers than in the right answers. I see three problems.
One problem is the corruption of the leaders of the sciences which forces propaganda to be reported as science.
Another is the willingness of rank and file scientists to accept the corruption. This is the same syndrome we have seen in police agencies, the press, politics, and education. Most people know better but accept corruption as the normal course of their lives. Society has become a cult, as Desmet describes very well in his excellent new book "The Psychology of Totalitarianism."
Third, and most important, is the willingness of large portions of the non-scientist population to accept the corruption of their own future. Most are just unaware, having received no training in the sciences, nor in any form of rational, analytical thought, due to the failures of the education system. It's a vicious circle that produces increasingly bad outcomes until a critical tipping point appears that forces even the most complacent to rebel. That will resolve the corruptions, but likely will introduce new ones as we oscillate into new normals. Maybe rationality will prevail, and science will identify and correct their errors gracefully, and journalists, and cops, and social institutions at large.
The important start for returning to rational society is for those who recognize the failures to become aggressive in pointing out those errors in thosearound us. Be judgemental. Make some of them angry -- it breaks their complacency. Make it clear their obsequious acceptance of fascism is unacceptable. It takes time, but its better than the likely alternatives.
I agree with you 100% and the issue is that if there is not open dialogue and a challenge to The status quo we will continue to go down the the wrong path in medicine. This has to be resolved by our leadership in DC and if they don’t understand the issue and comply with the status quo they are complicit in the destruction of mankind!
What needs to change is we the people. Government and medical bureaucrats will become as oppressive as we allow. Fascism is their nature. Tolerating fascism is our nature. If we decide we don't want to endure fascism, and only we can stop it. It's up to us.
Junk science is how science is done these days. It's how most people want it.
People don’t have a clue what the real motivation is in science today

Unless we have governmental and medical leader ship that understands the issues nothing will change!
Government and medical "leadership" is the problem. We need open source and free discussion. Forget all these useless, captured guilds.

When mass media dominates and controls the narrative we are not able to separate the pepper from you know what!
Identifying the propaganda is a skill many of us here have learned. Others can learn it too. We can help them learn.
