> to bypass the scientific process

The scientific process isn't owned by anyone. People are free to speak words; those who say otherwise are speech police.

The obsession of certain people with "the harms of words" is illiberal and authoritarian.

It’s in vogue to complain about the bad people that say bad things.

You are authoritarian insofar as you're appealing to the authority of science, only if you think it seems reasonable.
