The click bait was irresistible. “Why No One Trusts Science Anymore”. I tried to control my hearty “Amen”. It was a lecture given by Dr. Vinay Prasad to what appeared to be professionals with a lot of degrees in science and medicine. It seemed to be a serious attempt to express concern by someone who did not wear a tin hat. While it was basically interesting he could have said it all in two words: Science lies.
Actually, it isn’t science that lies. It is the scientists and the politicians that do the lying.
Either way you need to be careful what you believe. Develop the habit of reading between the lines. Know the difference between fact and theory. Ask yourself, cui bono?
