This is why RFK Jr was the right pick for HHS. I don’t agree with all of his takes, but I view him as a counterweight to the scientific establishment. Science has become too dogmatic (and I say that as a scientist). We all saw this during COVID – the deification of Dr. Fauci, mandating masks, lockdowns, and vaccines on questionable evidence, and treating skeptics (including scientists who disagreed with the status quo) like ignorant and crazy conspiracy theorists. Which goes against what science is about – it’s supposed to be skeptical and accepting of those who question the status quo. Hopefully, RFK Jr will be able to clean house and restore diversity of thought.
