You are vaguely waving your hand at unspecified "political incentives" with absolutely no specifics or evidence of anything.

I mean, you can question anything, but that has about zero value. Answers with evidence backing them have value.

Everything should start from a place of questioning. If there is data and the data makes sense, that can replace questioning with certainty. But often the data has a limited or tenuous connection, possibly even a fraudulent connection. This is why it’s important to actually read the studies and understand the science, not just to hand wave it away as “evidence = value.”
