I wonder if that sort of right wing person is capable of doing science. I think they can’t, due to the parallels with the most deadly scientific fraud perpetrated by Ancel Keys. He had no qualifications, but in the late '40s he stole a hypothesis and claimed it was his
This new affliction heart disease could be caused by eating saturated fats
The only good thing he did was design a good study to test the hypothesis, but his study unfortunately proved the opposite. People in the control group (eating the normal diet full of butter, eggs, and meat) lived longer than the intervention group, who replaced butter, eggs, and meat with linoleic acid (an omega 6 oil)
So he buried the study and said “we didn’t run the study long enough, but we are certain due to the results we have that saturated fat is causing heart disease”

They can. They can even combine real science with tangible results and pseudo-science. It has all been witnessed in history.
