Ona scale of 1-10, how much do you trust science?

[Jack Reacheround]

Are you asking how much I trust the process of asking a question about the natural world, then devising a way to test which answer is true and which answers are not?

Aren't you an anti-vaxxer without any formal medical knowledge?

No idea what kind of bizarre response that is to my post, but no. Didn't take the covid shot, and drug discovery is what my wife does for a living, so I'll take her opinion over some dorks on a karate forum or Stephen Colbert's dancing syringe skits.

Science is fine, it’s the people applying it and their motives I might have an issue with

So you are an anti-vaxxer? You can just say it rather than this little fancy dance around it.

[Thai Domi]

True science, and the scientific method, are very trustworthy. The scientific establishment, which most everyone confuses with actual science, is a business and often unreliable.

 

[DougieJones]

I would say more than 4 but less than 7

Sure, if that makes you feel better about getting bullied into taking injections you don't need, go right ahead. I didn't, and didn't get sick or get anybody sick, and you're just pissed because not everybody was as scared as you.

Me: "I don't trust one vaccine"

Person: "ANTI-VAXXER!!!!!!!!!"

 

[fungi]

My trust in science is 10/10.
My trust in scientists is 2/10.

[Domitian]

Science 10/10. Scientist 3/10.

 

[nostradumbass]

Me: "I don't trust one vaccine"

Person: "ANTI-VAXXER!!!!!!!!!"

It was even sillier than that. I didn't even bring up any vaccine, I just said different scientists have contradictory opinions and new technologies have room for improvement, and that guy jumped straight to "anti-vaxxer".

Your name couldn’t be more appropriate.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Science? 100%

Because one of the main principles is that it's constantly tested and changed when new information is presented.

Now of course there are a ton of pseudoscience con artists out there and now politics has entered the realm to influence science, and of course that's all bullshit.

But real true science is unbeatable.

Valuable contribution, as usual, "jack reacharound"

 

[Alphaboy]

That's a weird question, because science is what we can observe and test. If I can observe something or prove it (although they don't like the word "proof" in science) I trust it.

Science also has theories and hypotheses that we think may explain things, but by definition we are aware that we may be wrong.


Now I don't Trust the Science ™ if that's what you're getting at.
