I'm not arrogant enough to think that my opinion should count as much as someone who's dedicated their life to the study of science.
Do you trust economists? They say they're scientific too. How about climatologists? Or...
Trusting the wrong people is why we're so doomed. And everyone should be in charge for choices impacting their life. Right or wrong, it's their life.
When scientific results determine whether or not you get funding and are able to make a living you have to accept that science is biased as well. There have been a LOT of scientists that have seen funding dry up for not producing the results governments want. Look at the history of the lipid hypothesis for example.
