The people sowing distrust ARE the vaccine deniers and climate deniers. People comparing vaccine trials to cigarettes, like the person you are agreeing with here, ARE the problem; they were not created by "corporate funded vaccine trials".

You don't think perverse incentivized trials/studies/etc do damage to public perception? I'm not well versed in this subject (or versed at all), but if anything i feel like i am the public we're speaking about. Pro science, but scared of bad faith science.

For example, my perception is that the push for pro-sugar doctrine "back in the day" has caused significant health problems and a distrust in the process.

Do you view this as not the case?

I have a Ph.D. in a hard science, so I guess I'm not totally unaware of how science works. Let's say, I have lived experience as to why 30% of physics and chemistry research can't be replicated.

Putting 100% faith and trust in a "corporate funded vaccine trials" is something I would suggest against given the potential monetary gains from those conducting it.

I've been part of teams that have put products through FDA clinical trials.

I can assure it was a somewhat different process than what ever process your "hard science Ph.D" requires for publishing papers.
