Everyone loves science,no?! From politicians to classroom teachers to trendy theologians lol, on a daily basis it is beaten into our heads that we have to worship at the altar of science.But what is really going on?!

In the 16th century Francis Bacon developed,on the basis of certain Aristotelian principles, a powerful and elegant model that is still applicable up to modern times -even in our mundane daily lives.It involves four stages-Observation,Hypothesis,Experimentation and Conclusion.You can use this model in everything from launching a rocket to choosing where you are going to travel next! Very practical-when well-applied and not overdone.

But what has become of this simple model.Simply put,it has become corrupted.Here is what the contemporary scientific model has become.We will use medical research as its exemplar.

1) Strategize your educational process so that your C.V. facilitates your  finding  a good position in a University, Government Health Institution(think Fauci lol) or for-profit Pharma or Biotech Company company

2) Gather together a team of technical experts in statistical analysis,research design and research project management.

3) Choose a trendy subject-preferably not something too original or unconventional(think Dr. Andrew Wakefield lol)

4) Go through the laborious process of grant applications(ask any university researcher)

5) use your academic and scientific connections to get published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal and

6) always remember to stay within the politically-correct scientific consensus-whatever that may be at a given point in time.

Tell me it ain’t so! No wonder we can’t get a handle on the Covid pandemic!
