Science Is Not Great

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians repeatedly appealed to the science to justify tyrannical policies, and much of the population passively complied. Such compliance stemmed from a deep, religious reverence for science in which people see science as an infallible god. But is science really that great, or is it doing more harm than good?

In Science Is Not Great, author Colton Martensa university professor who holds a BS in Biology and a PhD in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biologyexplores the political biases that dominate scientific institutions and call academia's politically charged conclusions into question. He discourages people from blindly putting their faith in science, citing problems with the scientific method, past failures of biomedical science, and past vaccine mistakes. The author also takes a somewhat unique stance against advanced biomedical science and discusses the long-term negative effects this will have for our species' health. The book shows how science has a surprisingly poor track record and should not be worshiped as the be-all, end-all solution to society's ills. In fact, the author argues that science is being used to create a highly undesirable dystopian future, and he offers suggestions on how to fix science and once again make it a force for good.
