Science is done by humans, not robots. Politics has been and always will be a part of science. Scientists, like all humans, form opinions and have their own set of morals.

🧪 Well-meaning arguments to “keep science apolitical” just cede the far-right-wing propaganda framing that science…
• “used to be apolitical”,
• “recently became politicized”, and ∴
• “needs to be fixed.”
Which is 100% bullshit on every single point.
Don’t do their propaganda for them.

Anti science rhetoric is scary cause it creates a false binary where the science HAS to be infallible
