>It's no secret that scientists—and the science generally—took a hit during the health crisis. Public confidence in scientists fell from 87 percent in April 2000 to a low of 73 percent in October 2023,

Those are ridiculously high numbers that are completely unbelievable. I see the trick they are attempting.

Covid lies damaged trust in public HEALTH and here they are polling 'trust in SCIENTISTS', poll trust in public health and you're going to get far different numbers.

How to rebuild trust:

1. Acknowledge you screwed up big time. Apologize sincerely.

Literally nobody from public health has done step 1 yet.

2. Root cause analysis of how all these lies, deceptions, and manipulations came to be.

3. Make those reports public and take the beating in the media.

4. Create an action plan to prevent these abuses from happening in the future. This has to be done with the people whose voices were censored.

5. Start obeying international law and arrest all people who violated these laws.

That's right... significant arrests are absolutely necessary to rebuild trust. If you dont do this, not only are you refusing accountability you're encouraging exactly the same behaviours to repeat.
