I don't know that scientists gaslit anyone. I think it's more the state of journalism driven by the way it is monetized. Chasing SEO drives clickbait headlines and sensational claims to the top of everyone's feed.
I really appreciate the discussion on Lemmy.
Oh with mainstream science I meant the journalism, probably bad wording.
