Trusting Science

When you think about it, the meme here makes the exact opposite point it’s intended to.  In all four cases, business created and marketed a product, only to have science come along and study it, determine it was dangerous, and submit its finding leading to a ban being imposed on it.

As I like to point out, science isn’t always right; in fact, it’s almost never right.  Almost nothing we think we know about the world today will likely hold true in another couple of hundreds of years.

But it’s the best we have.  Alternatives include superstition, QAnon, Alex Jones, the opinions of Trump supporters, and Fox News.  I’ll take science any day.
