Science should not peddle lies, even for the sake of humanity. Knowledge is power, even horrible knowledge is power. Holding knowledge back is holding back the power of thought and decision.
yea i should have clarified, i dont mean spouting pseudoscience to the public, i was more going along the lines of getting people not to be scared of something because if theyre actually scared of it it would only make things worse. i absolutely agree that you should not peddle lies with science.
true scientists dont lie to the public unless its for an absolutely necessary reason that benefits humanity as a whole

If they lie for any reason, they are not true scientists.
