I keep hearing I’m supposed to #followthescience. But the science is always changing. I’ll just follow the morality. It doesn’t change. Ever.
When people say #followthescience they really mean listen to what the politicians tell you to do. That way lies tyranny. That’s what they’re endorsing, though they might not even know it. Some people might not be telling you to listen to the politicians, they may simply be saying “Listen to ME!!!” or “do what I say!!!”
Once the federal government begins doling out millions in grants to scientists the scientists themselves are eventually bought and paid for. It’s human nature. If you want to continue receiving the funding, perform studies that have the approval of those handing out the money.
That’s how you get studies coming out funded by Fauci that the Covid virus came from a wet lab and not the Wuhan lab.
The eugenics movement last century believed they were following the science. How’d that end up?
This guy followed the morality. Not the science.

Eisenhower’s farewell address is usually remembered for his warning against the military-industrial complex. He, however, also warns against a scientific-technological elite sopping up federal dollars:
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocation, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet in holding scientific discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

They say follow the science when it is convenient. You wont hear that when the science proves one man/one woman makes for stable environments that raise emotionally, educationally, financially, etc. stable and prosperous people…who do the same. Then, the science is flawed.
