I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

This is a good decision. The 2002 backlash against MHT/HRT happened because the public, much of the media & even some doctors don't grasp the difference between relative & absolute risk. A percentage change may seem substantial, but you need to look at the actual numbers.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:
Black Baptist Churches

Some conservatives are saying that Kilmeade’s “Just kill them” comment is less horrifying when you see it in context.
So here’s a longer clip, where you hear almost 4 minutes of Fox couch banter before he says it.
And, uh, it’s not much better. At all.
