For you to link anti-vaxxine to anti-climate to anti-GMO fails to address the issue. Each are separate, and the only reason to lump them together is to obfuscate the facts in each.

It's not as if there is a priesthood of "science" and everything science is good, or everything science is bad. The consequences of science have nothing to do with the science itself any more than the consequences of using a hammer can be to build a solid structure, to build a shoddy structure, or to smash one down. Science is a fantastic tool that enables human beings to discover and learn, however what we do with that knowledge can potentially help or harm the environment, help or harm our health, (or in-between) but ultimately if you follow the money, it can, and has, corrupted "science" where individual scientists are paid blood money by corporate interests to deny that tobacco causes harm "billions of people smoke" or lead "billions of people used leaded gasoline and lead paint". It doesn't matter how many people use something, that doesn't logically lead to it being safe or better .

fails to address the issue

It addresses you perfectly, if you read it, you would have read about yourself.

to obfuscate the facts in each

All three have overwhelming scientific consensus on their side, you're opposite that. You're right there with anti vaxxers, EMF fears, and all the anti science health and diet related woo that's ever come down the pike.

Science is a method at getting at the truth, you don't use scientific methods, you're bullshit doesn't belong in a science forum. The only reason it's allowed here on Voat is because the userbase is so small and anti science, it's very unwelcoming to anyone who's pro science. They're just not going to hang here after finding out it's largely populated with the r/conspiracy crowd.

Science is a fantastic tool

Do not invoke science, you fly in the face of it, you shit on it.

Here you are treating science as if it's something "holy" it is only has holy as a toilet plunger, a hammer, or any tool. "Scientism" is not science. It's a propaganda tool. Either you are knowingly playing a subversive game, or are brainwashed. Scientific "consensus" when it consists of publicly funded scientists can be trusted. When the "consensus" is fabricated by corporate funded research, then it's questionable, as were the many "scientists" who said Tobacco and Lead were safe, and it took a minority of courageous scientists to fight the corporate forces that were about profit over lives.
