Would’ve been nice to see a few quotes. Come on, Ars!
The damage done is deep and cuts to the bone.
> Pharma does not fund research [that does not pay back]
Fortunately we have public research. Public and private research are totally different beasts in nature. Most of the science done in the planet is public (and underfunded or free), and can explore where pharma does not dare to enter.
Ironically, most MAGA are on the group with higher risk to die for lack of the public healthcare research that they still refuse to fund. They put their lives and hopes on the private research, unaware that most of them will not be able to afford it.
It's definitely true that public research is underfunded. It would also need better leadership for more funding to matter.
Who cares about people that trust research because it has "public" or "private" label?
Don't move the goalposts. I said affordability, not trust.
People that don't "trust" science, will simply miss the benefits of trusting science. Period.
And yes, some will die for refusing to wear a mask, or will drink bleach, and 106000 people will die each year for refusing to take the measles vaccine. Very sad.
The rest of us will keep with our lives.
Sorry if it sounds too harsh, but this people actively supported to destroy the lives of thousands of researchers. Those retired scientists will not return at the last minute to save them from the crisis caused by their poor choices. We have too much urgent problems to solve, and life is too short.
This people finally failed the test and is (emphatically) NOT scientists fault. They were given a million chances.
