Case in point, the data shows the vaccines are working.
The problem is most people are seeing how science works for the first time in real-time. So it's easy to criticize when every hypothesis, decision, test, etc. are being shown in real-time. What the media doesn't tell you and what most people don't know is that the science operates with statistical principals. Meaning that there is always a chance it may not work, whatever the reason may be. They operate within confidence intervals that are based on data collected and guides their recommendations.
Bottom line, for all those people bashing and doubting science, when push comes to shove and the sh*t his the fan, who do they turn to when they catch Covid-19? The hospitals and science!

While there are certainly independent, rouge ‘news’ organizations and internet sites, the main stream media does not act completely independent of science. They print what they are told. Or they just regurgitate the ‘scientist’, Fauci, et al. Take the latest media darling - Ivermectin. Do you think for a minute the Google companies are independently calling it a, “horse dewormer?” When it’s been given to 3.7 billion HUMANS for decades? Who’s funding that disinformation? Perhaps someone who stands to gain monetarily from vaccines and endless boosters?
It’s not hard to imagine why -if - something like a cheap and readily available drug might actually work, why it would be suppressed. Who’d get the blame for nearly 7 million murdered for want of something of greater sales value? For the most part, science and media act in concert. Maybe never more than now in both their evolution.
