German Research Institute Regrets Censorship of a Pro Science Statement

Eric Worrall / 2 days ago August 9, 2020

Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation)
h/t Dr. Willie Soon, NoTricksZone; The German Research Foundation (DFG) has apologised for censoring a statement that science is not a religious belief system.

The statement by satirist Dieter Nuhr which caused the censorship controversy (source NoTricksZone);

Knowledge does not mean you are 100% sure, but that you have enough facts to have a reasoned opinion. But many people are offended when scientists change their mind: That is normal! Science is just THAT the opinion changes when the facts change. This is because science is not a doctrine of salvation, not a religion that proclaims absolute truths. And those who constantly shout, “Follow science!” have obviously not understood this. Science does not know everything, but it is the only reasonable knowledge base we have. That is why it is so important.

I hope this is the start of something bigger, because something has gone very wrong with modern academia. Scientists like Peter Ridd should not be persecuted and punished for taking unfashionable positions. The penalty for speaking your mind if you are a scientist, even if you are later proven to be wrong, should not be excommunication and financial ruin.

If society continues to sanction shooting the messenger (sometimes literally) when it comes to scientists taking unfashionable positions on climate change and Covid-19, politically popular positions will never be properly challenged and reviewed

Scientists no longer feel free to express themselves, which means we are entering an era of darkness similar to the Dark Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Great post. This is exactly what is happening in the US with our FDA's irrational attempt to ban hydroxychloroquine. The FDA's political preference is more important to them than saving lives.

Who gives a shit what statement he made? He can find his own forum to spread opinions. The german forum in question is for science.

But they apologized and corrected the supposed error, which is why this all seems so foreign to the Trump cultists like you.

No it isn't. First, that' a lie regarding the ban attempt. A lie you literally just made up.

. Second, the efficacy of medicine is decided on large bodies of evidence, not the collective screeching of trump cultists.
