I have a confession to make
Last night I saw this post and I was too tired to read through, I wanted to close the tap, but something made me hibernate my system instead so I can find it in the morning
And I am glad I did that
This is quite thought-provoking
Scientists were supposed to come up with hypotheses after series of research and gathering of information that may or may not be useful
And then use such theories to come up with the necessary conclusion to either the creation of a product or a vaccine as you said
But they are not doing that anymore. They are found to be in so much of a hurry to get the drugs available so that they can start making huge profits from them.
And they have found a way to stay as monopolist as possible. That way no one can rise against them or question them
Of course, no one would dare question to avoid the dent in their reputation or the fact that they will be excommunicated or termed an outlaw if they do
at some point, if the drugs or vaccine goes wrong, no one is expected to question that too
It is far too risky for those who want to make money out of such a venture. Humans are sacrificed on the pillars of this newfound fame, wealth, and power
This brings me to the answer to this question
If their hypothesis has been proven wrong do you think they would ever allow anyone to know?
Of course, they wouldn't. That would be too much a price to pay. They have to cover up all of their tracks in every possible way
