This senator is saying RFK Jr. disputes “settled science”. The term “settled science” is incoherent. Science is a process, not a conclusion. Science is an inquiry, not an institution. Science isn’t dogmatic, it’s curious. “The Science” should always be up for review.

“Follow the science” died during COVID. They rebranded to “settled science”

These people treat science like religion.

Einstein said time is an illusion. Ever wonder why? Always wanted a Deeper Knowledge of Science? Wish you could Understand Einstein and Quantum Mechanics without needing a degree in Math or Science? This is the book you’ve been waiting for!

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts" -Richard Feynman.

These are the same people that were 100% fine when Fauci called HIMSELF the science. Their definition of science has become so politicized and ideologically captured that it really can’t even be called science anymore.

The last time they said "trust the science", they had to pardon it.

Okay, I get your point, and generally agree with it. Some science, though, is so doggone close to settled that the term is appropriate. When the term is used by politicians, though, the translation for "settled science" is "shut up -- you are screwing with my agenda!"

"settled science" is the most insanely stupid thing i've heard—how can someone in a position of power use such dumb phrases and do they actually think and believe that? or do they just say this stuff?? i genuinely cannot tell anymore settled science: cigarettes don't cause cancer!! it's settled!

That triggered my Spidey Sense too! He's being such a dickhead!

Bro no science does have conclusions wtf are you talking about

Have to remember also that Senator Wyden of Oregon supported decriminalized the possession of small amounts of drugs like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and LSD for personal use until it had to be reversed in response to issues like rising public drug use, homelessness, and overdose rates. He is not one that should be questioning anyone.
