Interesting perspective on the sociology of science/medicine - and its reform.
One aspect of science that is underappreciated is how fundamentally it conflicts with the state. Science and the state cannot peacefully coexist. One seeks authority - the other denies all authority. I think we are also starting to see this with the events of the "assassination attempt".
A core scientific issue is that the candidate's account of the shooting is a physical impossibility - a "whizzing sound" from the supersonic bullet. More than a half century of science and observation tells us that the candidate would have experienced a deafening blast of sound from a supersonic bullet/sonic boom so close to his ear. Yet this established science is now rapidly becoming disputed territory.
