"Scientists" really did a number on science by pushing the Covid vaccines so hard. It might not be possible to even win back that trust in our lifetimes.

Pushing those vaccines saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
The Covid vaccines have saved an estimated 14 million to 20 million lives.[1]

The trust was not eroded by scientists, it was eroded by politicians pushing lies. I'm still to this day hearing lies & misinformation repeated about the vaccines.
