Science in the age of Trump

[billvon 3,131]

The age of Trump has brought a new era of science denialism into Washington. Emblematic of that is this recent story that came through my feed. It hits the trifecta of science denialism - climate change denial, anti-vaxxing and anti-GMO. (All you need to do is add creationism and you could encapsulate almost all denialism in one article, which would be awesome.)

Expect to see more of this as our government continues to scientific ignorance.

Today, many scientific assumptions have transformed into scientific dogmas. In almost every field of science, from the study of consciousness, to modern day medicine, to food and drugs, controversy and corruption exist. As many whistleblowers have revealed, big corporations have a monopoly on science and control what gets published and enters the public domain.

Dr. Diane Harper, for example, one of a mere handful of experts on the human papillomavirus (HPV) . . . she’s stated how the vaccine was approved and fast-tracked before all of the science had been completed.

You can check out this FDA document to verify that for yourself, as it’s no secret.

. . .

Investigations have also discovered that the FDA manipulates science press, and multiple whistleblowers have brought this to light. Take Dr. Richard Horton, the Editor in Chief of one of the largest peer-reviewed medical journals in the world. He says, “The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.”

As with medical science, climate science is fraught with corruption. Questioning climate science is just as scary for some people as questioning vaccine science. This is because the mainstream ridicules people who ask questions. They do this through clever marketing, constantly pushing the idea that vaccines save lives and carry no risks, which entirely contradicts the science that continues to emerge showing otherwise.. . .


A few politicians have also been making this argument. One example is the Australian Prime Minister’s chief business adviser, who believes that climate change is a “ruse” led by the United Nations to create a New World Order. He claims that the UN is using false models which show sustained temperature increases in order to impose authoritarian rules.

That being said, it’s important to recognize that this “politicization of science” has also been used to brainwash scientists. A classic example comes in the form of a federal lawsuit that was initiated by Steven Druker, who is the Director of the Alliance For Bio-Integrity. The lawsuit forced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to divulge its files on genetically engineered foods. Druker exposed how the agency covered up the warnings of its own scientists about the risks, lied about the facts, and then ushered these foods onto the market, in violation of federal law.. . .
