Is science supposed to use the scientific method to investigate anything? No sacred cows?

If science cost zero dollars and zero cents, sure. When it's public dollars you can see why every researcher needs strong preliminary evidence to justify dropping hundreds of NIH dollars on research. Waste, fraud, and abuse, no?

Anyway, if you want a sacred cow to kill, a good one would be "we don't have enough evidence to draw conclusions about the risks and benefits of vaccines".
