Those are not mutually incompatible. You can have a great reputation and still be wrong. It happens every day.So which is it then?

Both- this is classic science under Marx's dialectic materialism... problems are solved by changing society not the hypothesis. Luckily for the rulers the changes are often temporary
I'm not trying to argue science is Marxist, I am arguing Lysenkoism is Maxist. The difference may be slight but it is important.If you are arguing that science isn't Marxist, present your case.
I suspect that you will have no more success than @Selena.
Much of modern science is a matter of faith, with the faithful viciously attacking the heretical disbelievers.
Of course, many of the disbelievers will be proven correct (or partially correct) in a generation or so.
Then they will become the faithful and will proceed to persecute the new generation of heretics.
I believe in science. Its truth will eventually win out.
I don't believe in most scientists. Too many are indistinguishable from cultists.
Much like the Marxists, who declare that no one has ever done communism correctly up to this point, but the new generation will get it right... .
Nicely put....

Science isn't Marxist because Marxism is a politico-economic philosophy, and science is based on a search for material reality. You can use science to inform on your economics or politics, but it doesn't go the other way. If it does, it is no longer science, but something else.If you are arguing that science isn't Marxist, present your case.

Now try and tell us that “Scientists” are above that. Be sure and impress us with a list of your credentials to validate your opinion.
And scientist that wish to retain government funding deliver results that the government wants.There is a fixed pool of research dollars and the scientists are in a stiff competition to earn them.

Who watches the watchmen? Fauci's 'noble lie,' exposed | Blaze Media
In our moment of greatest need, Science protected ... itselfwww.theblaze.com
The question is what Fauci lied about.the question is not whether there was lab spillover (which is theoretically possible), but whether Fauci was somehow intentionally funding weaponization of coronavirus variants in China.
The question is what Fauci lied about.
Your pretty hung up on the weaponizing thing.Or if he did. About weaponization of the virus.
That is the underlying accusation. That he funded research that created the virus, and that the Chinese were weaponizing it when it escaped from the lab, like in the movies.Your pretty hung up on the weaponizing thing.
What we need to do is stay calm, anticipate that third parties will register and post seditious material to justify shutting this site down, and REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.
Again, I know it feels like the Republic is lost. It may be. But for now, on this site, please for the love of God stay calm, speak rationally, and hope for .... better judgement from our leaders in the future.
The coming days and weeks (likely after the 20th) will be easier, but for now we need to be on the best possible behavior. Please. :)
