We are living in the modern times when Science is on trial. We are desperately trying to convince people that science is right, science works in 2021 and in what the world considers an advanced nation - where we win the most Nobels in science.

I thought we would get excited about science solving problems, saving our lives, improving quality of life, helping with erections...

But here are today's news headlines:

School openings reveal that science is right -- masks work = [cnn.com]

Breakthrough infections prove vaccines work = [cnn.com]

Uh??

Or is CNN out of its mind?

Not much has changed in 500 years, science was on trial in 1609 also.

You're talking about humans and they always have their biases and blind spots. They'll love science when it tells them what they want it to say but not the opposite.

You cannot say that science is on trial. What you are seeing is mob hysteria among the rabid right reactionaries. It is a rejection of reason and morality.

CNN is just a DNC shill. Like fox, they are just political hacks. ( yes, I know, Fox is worse, but they are also on the “other” side. Listen to their leading question interviews.

I fully agree. Thanks for saying that. CNN is a mirror image of Fox.

Those so called “conservative”, “religious” types love science when they’re turning on their ACs, or they’re driving their loaded cars down the interstate, not so much when it comes to how absurd science makes their supernatural mythologies look.....🤔
