Science never proves anything; it only disproves things.
But the biggest problem with science is that it's carried out and funded by people.
Some scientists are hard-working and honest people who really want to learn the way things work. Others are lazy, liars, or cheats who will say whatever they are paid to. And all scientists have preconceived notions and biases.
Governments and large corporations which fund scientific research won't pay for studies that make them look bad or cost them money.
Fashions, trends, money, and politics also influence the gatekeepers of science: the journals who chose which studies get published and the media who chooses which studies get disseminated to the public.
The treatment of HCQ last year is a prime example of politicized science. And as we now know, politicizing HCQ research cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the US alone.
Everyone is so quick to discount studies funded by groups that have an interest in the outcome, like environmental studies conducted by oil companies, but they never extend that same disbelief when the interested party funding the research is the government, even when it has consistently self-serving results.
HCQ? We never forget Michigan Governor Whitmer threatening Michigan doctors for using HCQ at a time that the world-renowned U of Michigan Hospital had it at the top of their publicly available CV treatment protocols.

Excellent point.

THIS!
Not all science is bad. After all, science gave us HCQ.
Politicizing of science and medicine is bad. Why is it that HCQ is still not made readily available in the US?
Sounds a lot like the Vatican pre-reformation.
