People who question modern science don't have a higher epistemic standard.

They just offer something worse, like a youtuber who convinced them that eating plants was bad for them.

I hope this changes. There is much need to question modern science using a higher epistemic standard.

It has been tried for centuries but the best we got is science itself.

If you can create such an "higher epistemic standard" you'll be just upgrading science.
