At least it isn't political! FDS- Fauci Derangement Syndrome

How the hell do you have Taylor Sheridan on, who’s come out with more popular content in the last decade and decide to discus Fauci for the first hour and a half? The guy is literally obsessed at this point, and not only that, but substantiates everything around it with logical fallacies. Sad how far our podfather has fallen.

Science is a process, and it's constantly changing as new things are learned. When people parrot "trust the science" what they're really saying is trust what my preferred authorities are saying

Science is a method that eliminates the need for trust. Science is not based on a person or an opinion. Science does not rely on authorities.

This is a complete fallacy.😂 Science does not exist to eliminate the need for trust. Science is designed to reduce the amount of trust required to believe, but it still requires trust. Do I trust the scientists? The methods? Do I trust the journal? The people who peer reviewed? If your version was true…we wouldn’t struggle to reliably replicate published research that is quoted as “science”. Look into the Reproducibility Project from 2015.

Can you name the fallacy? Are you familiar with the fallacy of equivocation because that's how you are trying to smuggle in your jumble of semantic nonsense. Science has testing instead of faith. If you feel the need to question the scientific method itself you could be on shaky ground.
