This is an excellent exposition on how science has been corrupted. This isn't new, we've first heard "god is dead, science is the new religion" for at least two decades, taking science from a questioning and discovery mode open to public debate, to a mode of moral authority that cannot be publicly questioned.
Previously it has been corrupted in the developed west mostly to produce outsized revenues, but has more recently taken another turn into a darker woods of social control.
Conveniently, a perfect illustration of how science is distorted in such a way to produce fear showed up recently in the presentation of the second pandemic wave in India we've seen in the news. The case and mortality rate are reported in absolute numbers as opposed to "per million people", which of course is the relevant statistic. So how does the second wave look on a percent of population basis?
