You cannot achieve research and educational goals by attacking others.

The article was both about attacks on scientists and attacks on science itself.

My view disagrees with that of Peter Hotez, as I think that science should be vigorously attacked, especially by trying to disprove all kinds of scientific things, while also trying to prove things that contradict science. I expect that after such attacks, science would be strengthened rather than destroyed though.

Depends on if you're talking about the activity or the institution.
