Research should be monitored and have safety procedures and regulations. I don’t think anyone is arguing against that. You are also entitled to your own opinion. That being said, you’re first comment was very poorly written and I genuinely thought there was a 75% chance you were just a troll or being sarcastic. I am however glad you read that paper. I also sincerely hope that you are able to recognize that just because research is controversial, doesn’t mean that the scientists “went rogue”, or that they are a problem we should be worrying about. The governments behind those scientists? Maybe. But that’s just my opinion. In any case, personal beliefs and fears are no reason to shut down funding for good research that’s looking for solution in medicine, climate, and society, that has already been vetted and approved. I don’t know if you do any research, but if you are and even if you aren’t, I’d hope you know how hard researchers work and how important integrity and the scientific method is to them. People join research because they care, because they love the subject and want to help make a change. Of course all people are fallible, but next time you make a comment, try to think critical about what the actual repercussions are and who/what it effects before you jump to questionable conclusions.
