Science as a whole hasn't been legitimate in probably 20 years. It's been transformed into a way for the rich and powerful (read: universities and governments) to pay men in lab coats to print propaganda.
There are aspects of it that are somewhat legitimate, certainly, but the majority is worse than useless.
Longer than that. In the 80s and 90s low-fat high-carb diets were pushed. The "food pyramid" I was taught in school was 5-12 servings of carbs per day. It was all based on bad science. It was very similar to mask "science" now where the data wouldn't match the conclusion but the conclusion would support the government position anyway.
It got worse over time. By the 80's and 90's there were still some areas that did legitimate research, but by the early 2000's it was all just trash. Just look at the different response to swine flu compared to covid. It was literally a trial run.
That's how almost all sciences work.
That's why every week there is a "study" about how trans kids are totes real and women are more happy childless and the bugs are healthy for you.
