What is completely toxic to science is to be fraudulent.
Whenever you get people that are experts and they cannot be questioned and then they have control over research money and they have control over their departments.
I think a lot of it is ego.
A lot of it is being the gatekeepers for information and for truth.
And then you're influenced by money.
You know, to this day, I was watching this discussion.
They were talking about the evolution of the concept of the lab leak theory and that it's essentially universally accepted now everywhere, even in mainstream science, that the lab leak is the primary way that COVID most likely was released, except these journals, these fucking journals like Nature.
They're still pushing back against that.
They're still pushing towards this natural spillover, which is fucking horseshit.
Even the intelligence community is saying it's a lab leak.
But they fucking knew that.
They just didn't want to say it.
They didn't want to say it because they were funding it all.
That's what's really crazy.
And they were funding it all against what the Obama administration tried to shut down in 2014.
